Scunthorpe hasta la muerte - Inigo Gurrachaga

In September 1996, Alex Calvo Garca, a largely unknown Basque footballer arrived in England. Recently released by Eibar in the lower reaches of the Spanish league, the journey represented the 24 year-old's final opportunity to make it as a professional footballer. Without a word of English and at a time when foreign players were rare on British soil - and unheard of in the town of Scunthorpe - the odds seemed stacked against him. What followed was an unlikely eight-year long love affair, in which Calvo Garca took Scunthorpe United to his heart.
