Hierro was an outstanding goalscoring defender/midfielder and captain during
Real Madrid's second Golden Era. He probably gave his finest individual performance
in the club's 1998 European Cup final victory over Juventus.

His Real Madrid career came to an abrupt end after a player revolt, in protest over a
pre-season tour to Asia, backfired.
