My Take
Iván Zamorano is one of those strikers whose instincts I simply love to watch. The famous '1+8' shirt at Inter tells you everything about his competitiveness and humor in a single gesture. At 179 cm he was never towering, yet his nose for goal and aerial timing were uncanny, the mark of a born finisher. Named Chile's Sportsman of the Year in 1992 and a fixture for the national team from 1987 to 2001, he carried his small country's pride onto the world stage. To me he embodies the joy and grit that make Chilean football so endearing.
