The club from the Basque Country, a small area within Spain, only fields local players. So, only Basques. But Inaki, whose Ghanaian parents moved their young family to the town of Pamplona in the Basque Country, has long since become one of the local boys. He’s an important string in the fabric of this unusual club.He was the first black man to play for the club. But he is no longer the only one – his younger brother Nico has also made the first team.Let’s all take a moment to admire the remarkable achievement of the consistent and talented Inaki.LA LIGA – MATCHDAY 8FridayAthletic Club – Alaves HT 1-0/Garcia 44/Saturday15:00: (2.30) Osasuna (3.30) Rayo Vallecano (3.45)17:15: (2.20) Mallorca (3.30) Levante (3.70)19:30: (3.30) Cadiz (3.10) Valencia (2.50)22:00: (1.95) Atl.Madrid (3.50) Barcelona (4.40)Sunday15:00: (3.40) Elche (3.15) Celta (2.40)17:15: (5.50) Espanyol (3.90) Real Madrid (1.70)19:30: (2.05) Villareal (3.50) Betis (3.90)19:30: (3.80) Getafe (3.15) Sociedad (2.25)22:00: (5.10) Granada (3.60) Sevilla (1.80)***odds are subject to change
