The Football Hard Man Index No.7: Miguel Angel Nadal – ‘The Beast’
By Ollie Irish
A man’s man’s man, was Big Mig. He earned the nickname ‘The Beast’ mostly because he was just a big old unit with a huge head. But he was much, much more than just a hatchet man – the boy could play. After all, you don’t spend almost a decade in Barcelona’s first team if you don’t know what to do with a football.
Stat-trick: Miguel is the uncle of tennis star Rafael Nadal. Rafa supports Real Madrid though.

I swear Rafa supports Mallorca
Nah, Rafa is definitely a Real Madrid fan.
@ Meji: Mac is right. Rafa invested some money in Mallorca (he’s from there, I think) but he’s a very passionate Real fan.

spain had an absolutely brilliant generation of players in the early-mid 90′s, the core being cruyff’s barca dream team, a shame the national team still suffered from the choking syndrome back then.
