Two off the top of my head:
Matt Le Tissier (Southampton)
Marco Bode (Werder Bremen)
Anyone else know any?
Players who have played for just one club in their entire playing careers?

Tony Adams only played for Arsenal.
Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville are all Man Utd one club men so far, I doubt they'll play for anyone else.

Hopefully some of you still can remember the one and only Dieter Eilts
1985-2002 Werder Bremen
31 games for Germany
Actually he's the coach of the german U21 national team but a lot of Werder fans think that he'd succeed Thomas Schaaf as Werder's new head coach in a few years (Schaaf always said that some day he wants to coach a foreign club)

Manolo Sanchis spent his entire career with Real Madrid.
There are a lot of one-club men in Liga Primera history, most of whom played for either Athletic Bilbao or Real Sociedad. Pichichi and Luis Arconada, respectively, are two of the most famous examples.

Garrincha????He played for Pau Grande, Botofogo, Corinthians, AJ Baranquilla, Flamengo and Red Star Paris.
Giampiero Boniperti and Giampiero Combi played for Juve for their whole careers.
Uwe Seeler played for Hamburg in his whole career and Fritz Walter, captain of West Germany's 1954 World Cup team, played his club career for Kaiserslautern only.

Raul, played his entire professional career at Real Madrid.
He played for the youth team at Atletico Madrid, but the club scrapped its youth system before he made it to the first team. I bet they regret doing that!

But he's not retired. He could end up playing in Qatar when he's 35.
Camacho is a similar case, he played for Albacete's youth team but was transferred to Real Madrid's own youth system. But he did retire in Madrid.

Mind you I don't think that Raul should get too much credit, it's not really a test of loyalty to stay at a team that wins countless European cups.

Neither is being a mediocre player and staying at a mediocre club ;)
