Jorge Andrade

Jorge Andrade is one of those defenders whose story carries a real undercurrent of 'what might have been.' Born in Lisbon in 1978, the centre-back was rock solid for Porto and then truly excelled at Deportivo de La Coruña, racking up 169 official appearances over five seasons. His big move to Juventus should have been the crowning chapter, but injuries kept him on the sidelines far too often, and I find that genuinely frustrating to read. Still, being made an Officer of the Order of Prince Henry tells me Portugal recognized what he gave the game. At 184 cm, he played taller than his frame.
