  • Carles Puyol.

    Played CB for Barca, but could also plate fullback or RB; and always went forward to assist with attacks

    At youth level he started as a GK, then switching to a forward due to a shoulder injury.

    At La Masia, he switched from forward to defensive midfielder. And eventually to a more permanent defensive role

    But at every level, no matter what position he played, Puyol was the heart of the team almost always becoming Captain

    IMO, he embodies the total-football mentality of a gritty defender. A true pleasure to watch
