My Take
Nasko Sirakov belongs to a story I cannot forget: Bulgaria's astonishing fourth-place run at the 1994 World Cup. A striker from Stara Zagora, 186 cm tall, he kept scoring and returned to Levski Sofia across four separate spells, the mark of a true one-club soul. Most strikers fade after retirement, but he went on to become the club's president, carrying through management the team he once loved as a player. To shape your nation's football history and still be sweating over its future is rare devotion. I fall hard for men this single-minded about the badge they wear.
