Andoni Zubizarreta

Spanish footballer

Andoni Zubizarreta belongs to the record of sport as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.

The record lists Andoni Zubizarreta as Spanish footballer.

Andoni Zubizarreta was born at Vitoria-Gasteiz in 1961. His recorded nationality is Spain.

Modern careers are conducted in public and at speed, with reputations formed and revised far faster than the work itself changes.

He worked as association football player and businessperson.

Sport is the rare field that publishes its own evidence: the result is the argument.

His work was formally recognised with the Gold Medal of the Royal Order of Sports Merit.

That the work was done from Spain matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.

Andoni Zubizarreta is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
