Gaizka Mendieta Is Playing A DJ Set In The UK This Month And It Sounds Incredible

Gaizka Mendieta is known by many as the silky Spaniard who played for Barcelona, Valencia and Lazio, among others.

The Bilbao-born midfielder enjoyed a successful 16 year career before retiring in 2008, where he hung up his boots after a wonderful four year stint in the Premier League with Middlesbrough.
