The Spanish Star No One Talks About

In his football career, Mikel Oyarzabal (born in the Basque town of Eibar) has worn only two shirts: that of Real Sociedad of Donostia-San Sebastián, and that of the Spanish national team.

Until last summer, his LaLiga career ran in parallel with that of Imanol Alguacil, who coached him in Real Sociedad B, popularly known as ‘Sanse’. Imanol, a Basque born in Orio, played for Real Sociedad for eight years.
