Aitor Sanz getting another award… and to be honest, it’s hard to argue with it.
If you’ve spent any time around Tenerife or followed the club even loosely, you’ll know the name.
He’s been there forever.
Aitor Sanz… and staying the distance
Over 400 appearances for CD Tenerife.
That alone tells you everything.
In a game where players come and go, chase contracts, move clubs every five minutes… he stayed put. Captained the side. Got on with it.
No drama. No nonsense.
Just consistency.
And in Tenerife, that counts for a lot.
The award itself
Cadena SER are handing him the “Best in History” award at their annual event.
Big title… but in this case, it fits.
It’s not just about ability either. These awards lean heavily on how players represent the island, how they carry themselves, and what they give back over time.
That’s where Aitor stands out.
Not just him
He’s not the only one being recognised.
You’ve also got:
- Marcelinho Huertas from CB Canarias
- María José Pérez from Alhama
So it’s a wider nod to sport across the island, not just football.
Continuity helps
Football fans will have their opinions, as always…
But players who stick around, lead properly, and don’t disappear at the first opportunity are getting rarer.
Aitor’s built something a bit different.
He’s not just had a career here… he’s become part of the club.
And that’s why he’s getting this sort of recognition now.
If you’re local, you’ll get it
If you live here, you’ll know exactly why he’s respected.
If you don’t… it might just look like another award.
But it’s not really about the trophy.
It’s about time, consistency, and doing things properly over a lot of years.
