Karl Allgöwer

Karl Allgower belongs to a vanishing breed: the one-club man. Spending the bulk of his career at VfB Stuttgart, lifting the 1984 Bundesliga title, and reaching the 1986 World Cup final as part of Germany's silver squad is a résumé built on loyalty as much as talent. In today's transfer-driven game, that kind of devotion to a single badge feels almost romantic. The 2018 Order of Merit of Baden-Württemberg confirms what the football alone already suggests, that he gave something lasting to his region. I admire athletes who become woven into a place, and Allgower clearly is one of them.
