Asier del Horno Cosgaya (born 19 January 1981) is a retired Spanish footballer who primarily played in the left back position.
He initially gained prominence during his stint with Athletic Bilbao, where he featured in 126 official matches over a span of five years and netted 17 goals.[1] Following this, he transferred to Chelsea in England and clinched the Premier League title in the 2005–2006 season.
Del Horno was slated to participate in the 2006 World Cup with Spain, but a last-minute injury forced him to withdraw. He later returned to Spain to play for Valencia, who loaned him out to various clubs for the rest of his contract duration. His latter career was plagued by a series of physical setbacks, and he accumulated 187 appearances and 15 goals in La Liga.[2]
