Héctor Enrique

Héctor Enrique is one of those names die-hard football fans treasure more than casual viewers do. A midfielder from Lanús, he was part of Argentina's 1986 World Cup-winning side and famously fed the pass that launched Maradona's run for the goal of the century. Players who can shine the star beside them, rather than chasing the spotlight, are rare and deeply intelligent footballers. That he later coached abroad, including in the UAE, and served as an assistant for the national team, tells me his football brain outlasted his legs. I have a soft spot for unglamorous architects of victory like him.

Héctor Adolfo Enrique (born 26 April 1962 in Lanús) is an Argentine football coach and former player who is assistant coach at Al-Wasl club of UAE Arabian Gulf League. A midfielder, he played for Argentina national team in the 1986 World Cup and in Copa América 1989, winning the former competition. He later was assistant coach of La Seleccion.
