My Take
Manuel Almunia is, to me, a portrait of the long road. A goalkeeper from Pamplona who spent his early years drifting through Spain's lower leagues with only 26 La Liga appearances, he reinvented himself in England and became a Premier League starter. I have a soft spot for players who arrive by detour rather than as anointed prodigies, because their resilience tends to run deeper. Now working as a coach, I suspect his hard-won perspective makes him a better teacher than many decorated stars ever become.
