Hamad Al-Montashari

What earns my respect for Hamad Al-Montashari is loyalty. In an era when defenders chase contracts across continents, he gave his whole career to Al-Ittihad, becoming the rock at the back. Crowning that devotion with the 2005 Asian Footballer of the Year award, beating out stiff competition, tells me he was the real deal and not merely a club favorite. I have a soft spot for one-club men, and a 1.86 m center-back from Jeddah who topped a continent's polls is exactly the kind of grounded, craftsman-like figure I find quietly compelling. Substance over flash, every time.
