Iván Campo

Ivan Campo is one of those players I associate with grit more than glamour. Born in San Sebastian in 1974, he came up as a centre-back before drifting into a defensive midfield role late in his career, which I always read as the mark of a smart, adaptable footballer. The Real Madrid chapter gets the headlines, but honestly it's his Bolton Wanderers spell that fascinates me most, a Spaniard who spent six seasons in English football. Add a 1998 World Cup appearance for Spain and you have a properly rounded resume. He feels like a journeyman in the best sense of that word.
