Down the years I have been blessed to watch a handfull of players who fell like us in love with our football club.
They walk as giants among us glorified by the admiration and respect of the fans.
For me in recent years these include Rosler-Dickoff-Goater though one of the first one's I regognised was Dave Connor in 1966.
Its not about skill, its almost an indefinable factor but regognised by fans. Zabeleta for me has joined the elite.
Sad to say Tevez never will, despite being one of the finest players on the planet.
Zabeleta is one of us and we know it
