BBC is ranking the top 10 football players who dedicated their entire careers to a single club, celebrating loyalty in an era of constant transfers.

Athletic Club introduced the One-Club Award in 2015 to honor players who spent their whole lives with one team, valuing loyalty over money. The list includes legends like Tony Hibbert and Ledley King, as well as current Athletic star Inaki Williams, whose parents moved from Ghana to Spain to give him a future.
