Andoni Goikoetxea
The Butcher of Bilbao (Art Print)

One tackle gave Andoni Goikoetxea a nickname football never forgot.

Athletic Bilbao. Barcelona. 1983.

Diego Maradona is carried from the field after a challenge from Andoni Goikoetxea.

THE GOALSOUL INTERPRETATION

The Butcher of Bilbao examines the reputation created around that moment.

The tackle became one of the most replayed incidents of 1980s Spanish football and fused Goikoetxea's identity with a brutal nickname.

The artwork does not celebrate injuring Maradona. It looks at how a single act can become a footballer's permanent mythology, overwhelming everything else in a career.

One challenge. One nickname. A legend built from infamy.
