Bio
Tadashi Nakamura was never a flashy star player, and his offensive skills were never a strong point. Despite appearing in over 300 matches in his long career, most of those appearances at defensive midfield, he scored just six goals. Nevertheless, Nakamura was always one of the steadiest and most consistent players in the league. With one exception -- 1997, when he picked up an ankle injury midway through the season -- Nakamura consistently appeared in 20-30 matches every season, and always had the energy to go the full distance.
Indeed, Nakamura's steady competence and longevity allowed him to establish himself as a team icon at not just one, but two separate clubs. He played at Verdy Kawasaki for over ten years (if one includes his time at Yomiuri SC, prior to the creation of the J.League) and by the time Verdy closed its doors in Kawasaki and reorganized, Nakamura had played more matches for the team than any other players except Tsuyoshi Kitazawa and Shinkichi Kikuchi.
After Verdy's reorganization, Nakamura found himself out in the cold, but he quickly found a spot at Kyoyo Purple Sanga, and remained with the team through two cycles of promotion and relegation, before finally calling a quit to his long and distinguished career, in 2004.
