My Take

Goalkeeping is the loneliest job in football, where one slip becomes a goal, and that's precisely why I respect a career like Rubén Martínez's. A tall keeper from Spain's A Coruña province, he spent his years guarding the line while strikers collected the glory. His record is quiet by design; goalkeepers are measured in goals prevented, the saves nobody tallies. To me, the willingness to shoulder that pressure season after season is its own kind of courage. I'll always tip my hat to the dependable last line of defense over the flashier names ahead of him.
