The true captain of Real, uncontested leader of the team inside and outside the pitch.

WHAT I LIKE THE MOST ABOUT HIM
He puts together a sound leadership and a strong deffensive level with a sharp accuracy for long passes, good finishing and an excellent succeeding rate in penalty shoot outs and free kicks.

WHAT I DISLIKE ABOUT HIM
Sometimes he loses concentration, and the whole team pays for it. His physical strength is declining.

A CURIOUS FACT
Real and Atlético Madrid bitterly fought for the player in 1989. When HIerro knew about both offers, he clearly said the media: "What I want is to play for Real Madrid".

HIS HOTTST MOMENT
Real Madrid got the Championship of the 1997 Spanish League one match in advance. Hierro scored the 2-0 that definetly ensured the title. His celebration was a symbol: he immediately ran to his coach, Fabio Capello. The player allegedly admired the italian, and became an extension of the coach on the field.
