As an Athletic Club supporter from Bilbao, thanks for the promotion and the kind words of the video. Just one thing I think is relevant to mention, regarding the club's philosophy, is that you did not get the region quite right. The region that the video highlights in red is the Basque Autonomous Community, one of Spain's 17. However, the region that forms the Basque Country comprehends not only this Autonomous Community but also Navarre (the one to our right, where for instance Raúl García and Muniain are from) and a piece of land to the north that belongs to France as well, called Pyrénées-Atlantiques (where goalkeeper Stephane Ruffier was born, who has never played for us but could have done so). In this sense, the Basque Country is a nation beyond the legal borders that divide it.
Correct me if I am wrong but isn't Navarre a separate autonmos region from the Basque one? But share a common culture and Basque nationalists claim it should be one region?
@@zakwan10 You are right, that's precisely what I meant. The thing is that Athletic Club's basque-only policy applies to basques as in people born in the Basque Country (Euskal Herria): Basque Autonomous Community (Euskadi) + Navarre (Nafarroa) + Pyrénées-Atlantiques (Iparralde). Navarre not only is a part of the Basque Country as a nation, it is its historical motherland so to speak, as the territory that the Basque Country comprehends is what the Kingdom of Navarre used to be until 1512 when it was conquered by Castille. This is a matter for historical/political debate, but in the end we are talking about Athletic Club's philosophy and Raúl García's case (born and raised in Navarre and currently at Athletic Club) proves my previous point.
@@aitorfuentes6446 I believe technically Antoine Griezmann is also eligible for this reason, yes? I think there are a few French players who would show up whenever I tried a Bilbao save on FM in the past
@@wilsonkok4754 Not quite. Griezmann's case, as well as Laporte, Amorebieta or Llorente's cases, have to do not with the "born" but with the "raised" part of the philosophy, as despite not having been born in the territory of the Basque Country, they have spent time during the formative years in a Basque club: Griezmann at Real Sociedad, Laporte at Aviron Bayonnais and Athletic, and Amorebieta (who was born in Venezuela) and Llorente (who is not basque but from La Rioja) at Athletic. Laporte (great-grandparents) and Amorebieta (parents) are of Basque descent. However, it is not this, but the fact that they were raised in the Basque Country and played in their youth here, what makes them elegible to play for us.
A modern retelling of Bilbao's kit colours will probably go like "a group of expats ordered a bunch of Brighton shirts off DHgate for their local team but ended up with some Saints shirts instead."
Athletic Club have been my favourite team in Spain ever since Joseba Etxeberria's days there - not quite a one club man, but he was an extraordinary servant for them
As a utd fan, I wish Paul scholes recieved it Solid 20yrs of service, graduated from the same youth academy of 91 Came back to service to win us one more title under Ferguson He is a true legend of the club
Awesome video, one small thing is that Athletic recruits players from all of Euskal Herria, which goes beyond the borders of the modern Basque Country Autonomous Community. Notably, it includes all of Navarre and the French Basque Country
@@-MHidri- I know, but with the way football is going, they cannot stick strictly to Ryan Giggs' type forever. At some point they'll have to recognize Javier Zanetti types. And as you know, Lionel Messi would never win the award despite the years of dedication to one club, so 💁
I really respect Bilbao for the reasons in the video, which were worded better than I could. But in this day and age, a club that not only sticks to its principles while respecting its history and heritage is a very rare thing and should be applauded.
@@christianround2774 Not necessarily. The question "What happened to Sunderland?" can't be answered by just looking at the last few seasons. At the end of the 19th century, Sunderland was England's biggest club, the "team of all talents" they called it, and the 1895 World Champions after beating Hearts in an unprecedented game. They remained a competitive side until the late 30s, and then something happened, they just went down. in the 1950s, there was an attempt to revive it with an influx of money, but somehow what made Arsenal big in the 30s and Manchester City in recent years failed with Sunderland's attempt of a revival using money. Since the 50s, Sunderland have been a middle-bottom of the table club. The question is, how could Sunderland, from being the top club in England, become a club that hasn't been competitive since the late 30s? Despite having a huge fanbase. Sunderland's crisis didn't start a few years ago, it started in the late 50s, maybe in the late 30s even.
Players are not only from Euskadi. They are from Euskal Herria, which includes Navarre and regions in France traditionally Basque-Speaking. It's a very special nation and a very special club.
A few errors at the beginning: 1) The policy isn't "in support of Basque autonomy" 2) The policy has been in place since 1912, not 1919 3) The map only shows the Basque autonomous community, but Athletic also allow players from the greater Basque Country (Navarre and the French Basque Country, with A TON of players coming from Navarre)
Great video guys! One quick correction, Athletic only allows players born or formed in the Euskal Herria (the historical larger Basque country), this not only includes the basque country but also Navarre and the French Basque Country. Keep up the great work!
Ibrahim Sangaré will be having words with Tifo regarding this “one club” award. His journeyman status developed by this channel is being undermined by Athletic Club de Bilbao
Much easier to be a one club player at 1990s/2000s Manchester United, 2000s Barcelona or 1990s AC Milan. Le Tissier was unique it’s a shame they didn’t continue with that path.
Tom Lund really deserves this. Taking Lillestrøm from the third tier of Norwegian football to the top, rejecting offers from Ajax, Bayern München and Real Madrid along the way. Coaching his boyhood club after retirement and still to this day, he'll help in any way he can. His loyalty and effort for the club as a player, manager and supporter is the reason Lillestrøm still exsist as a top tier club in Norwegian football. As well as the city itself. For without Tom Lund, it would still just be a train station.
While this award seems to have its heart in the right place, it is comparatively easy to celebrate players who have stayed a club which has a history of success both domestically and in Europe. To really make a statement they could focus more on players like LeTissier or even those further down the leagues, who had opportunities to move elsewhere, for glory and/or money, but didn't.

@Reiss Bruin very true, but I wouldn't say those two descriptions are mutually exclusive. For me, a journeyman is just someone who could never put down roots in any one particular place, and had to keep moving
Franco Baresi, Rogério Ceni, Tony Adams, Bülent Korkmaz, Gary Kelly, Francesco Totti and João Pinto are all potential candidates, I'm sure a couple of the other Fergie's Fledglings generation would count too, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes perhaps? Probably Akinfeev and Busquets when they retire?
@@maltabossXD not sure that would matter, as it’s all about loyalty? He’s not shown any disloyalty by going on to loan to develop & come back a better player & eventually captain for Aston Villa.
Athletic Club has always been a huge club in La Liga, the first Clasico used to be Athletic Club - Real Madrid such as the greatest Barça’s rival in the 80’s used to be Athletic Club as well. When money started to change balances in modern football, Athletic struggled in winning trophies but never let its philosophy down, therefore as French people say “ Chapeau “
@@fede2631 Respect, philosphy is greater than trophies. As a barca fan I'm sad that we've lost the philosphy, blame the board but it doesnt change the fact
@@nischayjitsingh4453 Barça lost its philosophy long time ago, it just remains “ Mes que un club “ motto. You are all Barça fans all over the world due to the money they spent for big names instead of basing the first team on La Masia, that’s where all the debts come from: obv not from Messi’s contract
In México, the most popular team in the country, las Chivas, has a similar tradition by using only players born in México and it's still one of the most successful teams in Mexican history. Arriba las CHIVAS!! 🐐🔴🔵
Hey tifo, you should do a video about Vasco da Gama, the club that changed the history of football fighting against racism in brazil. If you look into it, the history behind this club is the most incredible in the world, it really is. Search about the "Resposta Histórica", the letter that Vasco's president wrote to AMEA.
Tifo, can you do a video about liquidated clubs and which clubs you predict to dissolve (mainly those currently participating in the EFL) in the next few years. Would make an interesting video.
A slight shame they seem to be preferring those who were already at a top club rather than those such as Le Tissier and many Athletic players who stayed loyal over winning trophies. A great future recipient would be someone like John Trollope of Swindon who holds Football League record of most games at just one club
Could you do a video on Rangers new transfer policy? How they’ve learned from past mistakes and how we get so many players with great potential for free or compensation payments? Compared to the old way of working they are worlds apart now.
Hope Francesco Totti wins it anyday, he was the one to represent what loyalty to local club is to my generation. Although, asa an argentinian resident, Bochini sure is a fine choice.
I hope they still accept mark noble for this despite the club sending him on loan to develop when there wasn't a spot for him in the 1st team. that man is west ham embodied
I can remember Giggs, Scholes and Gary Neville all stayed with United. Is there any more players from recent times that have stayed with United for their whole careers? Hope everyone's doing good!
Huge respect for this club. It’s honestly pretty amazing that they’ve never been relegated also, considering they have a very limited scouting source. Incredible achievement. I hope some way they can win a league title although it seems somewhat impossible with the other big clubs having a huge advantage. At the very least hope they can win a domestic cup & give the loyal fans some silverware to back up their strong principles.
The CDR final will be between the 2 Basque sides, I've been waiting for the match up since last year. Unfortunately no fans will be in the stadium despite their best effort, major downer.
@@timmi2198 They are in *BOTH* CdR finals actually: The 2019-20´s (against another Basque side, Real Sociedad) and the 2020-2021´s (against Barcelona). May The Light be with them.
Didn't they already give this award to Giggs? I seem to remember they awarded Giggs with something shortly before that Europa League game where Bielsa's Athletic Club battered a hopeless United team, with "future England captain" Phil Jones (yes, United fans used to call him that a LOT) in particular getting well and truly found out.
I am an Athletic Club supporter, and while I obviously also hold near and dear the values the club preaches, I also think it's a bit ridiculous to laud players who served big clubs for spending their careers there. Maldini, Puyol, Giggs Maier played for the biggest clubs and won plenty silverware. Even someone like Totti played for a Roma side that was in the upper half of the table. What I'm saying is that maybe this award should target those like Le Tissier who put bigger opportunities behind him to play in a mid table Southampton side with no real prospects of winning anything, instead of those who are comfortable in their clubs earning hefty wages and winning plenty of silverware. Just an opinion, loyalty in established big clubs is overrated.
I feel right now theyre getting the big names out of the way so the award gets more recognition, when the award gets more recognition more people will be aware of lesser known one club players.
Totti, Ledley King, Gary Neville, Costacurta, Ceni, Carragher, Hibbert, Jack Charlton, Scholes... only other significant one club players I can think of, anyone got any more?
I do feel a journeyman award (named after Harry Rednapp) should be setup by a rival team. This should celebrate players who didn't narrow their view of life and embraced new leagues and cultures. Another club should then set up the Freebie award, to celebrate those players who cost their new club nothing and were great servants, this could be sponsored by Aldi.
What about Rui Costa? He only left benfica cuz benfica needed money, he even choose fiorentina (higher transfer feeand less wages) over barca (lower fee but higher wages) ... Retired at benfica and still at benfica as vice president That's loyalty
Ryan giggs receiving an award embodying loyalty...his brother might have a few words to say on that.

Totti deserves this year’s award
Totti and Gerrard are the first two that come to mind that should get this award.
But Gerrard didn't only play for Liverpool
I hope Grealish is watching this and realizing what he is left to do.
Next year it must surely go to Nicolas Anelka
Foden has a potential to be one club man
¡Aupa Athletic!
I do feel a journeyman award (named after Harry Rednapp) should be setup by a rival team. This should celebrate players who didn't narrow their view of life and embraced new leagues and cultures. Another club should then set up the Freebie award, to celebrate those players who cost their new club nothing and were great servants, this could be sponsored by Aldi.
Maurice Malpas, Francesco Totti and Tony Adams
Big mark noble needs one ASAP
Can’t wait for Tony Hibbert to receive his award.
AUPA ATHLETIC CARAJO
The award should be given to anyone retiring that year who has only represented one club.
How come?
What about Rui Costa?
He only left benfica cuz benfica needed money, he even choose fiorentina (higher transfer feeand less wages) over barca (lower fee but higher wages) ... Retired at benfica and still at benfica as vice president
That's loyalty
thats crazy stuff.. was thinking all these winners must of played for athletic but no ... wow
None of them is Basque, Kris!
@@Salomious obviously
Will there be any content soon for Latin America football and clubs?
mark noble is perfect for this
