My Take

Ricardo Álvarez Puig, known simply as Richy, played the position that wins matches without ever trending: central defender. Born in Vigo, in football-mad Galicia, he spent his career doing the unglamorous, essential work of shutting down other teams' best attackers. I have a soft spot for defenders, the craftsmen whose finest performances leave no trace on the scoresheet. Forwards get the adoration, but the back line is where games are quietly decided. Now retired from play, Richy embodied the kind of selfless toil that lets flashier teammates shine, and that is precisely the contribution I most want to honor.
