My Take
Faryd Mondragón is a goalkeeper whose career almost reads like a love letter to longevity and to home. He started and ended at his hometown club Deportivo Cali, with two spells at Argentina's Independiente in between, which I find a fitting bookend for a player so tied to Colombian football. At 191 centimeters he had the frame you want between the posts, and his durability across so many years is genuinely impressive. I always respect goalkeepers who keep playing at a high level well into their later years, because the position rewards experience but punishes any drop in reflexes.
