Who better to value Málaga CF than those who represent the entire history of Málaga. Who better to fly the Blue and Whites’ colours than those who enjoyed, suffered and sweated wearing the shirt from the team of their lives.
Here we review historical players and coaches who gave their all to the team, and continue to write Málaga CF history in capital letters. From Antonio Benítez to Francesc Arnau, passing through Ben Barek, Basti and Gato Romero. Not forgetting the Pérez Frías saga (Juan Carlos, Nacho father and son), Ruano and Miguel Pineda. And defenders on the level of Pellicer, Ángelo, Añón, Manolo Gaspar, Ernesto, Ayala and Iznata.
