Gabriel Gómez

Gabriel Gómez represents the kind of player who carries a small footballing nation on his back without much fanfare. A defensive midfielder from Panama City, he logged a 19-year career across six countries and became his country's all-time most-capped player with 148 internationals. He was there for seven Gold Cups and Panama's historic 2018 World Cup debut. I am drawn to the unglamorous craft of the holding midfielder, the running and tackling and recycling of possession that rarely makes headlines. Gómez gave nearly two decades to that thankless role and to his country, and that loyalty earns my genuine admiration.

Gabriel Enrique Gómez Girón (born 29 May 1984) is a Panamanian former professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder. His own notwithstanding, he played professionally in six countries in a 19-year career, mainly Colombia and Portugal. Gómez was Panama's all-time record cap holder, appearing in 148 internationals and representing the nation in seven Gold Cup tournaments and the 2018 World Cup.
