Dani Aranzubia

I have a soft spot for goalkeepers, and Dani Aranzubia is the honest, hard-earned kind. A product of Athletic Bilbao's youth system who logged 303 La Liga appearances across Athletic, Deportivo and Atletico Madrid, with a Euro 2004 cap to his name, he built a career on consistency rather than spectacle. The detail I love is that he scored a goal in the league, a tiny burst of romance from a man whose job was to prevent them. Now coaching keepers at Amorebieta, he's passing on a lifetime of reading the game from the back. That continuity, to me, is its own quiet form of greatness.
