Tack för förslagen, flashback. Jag glömde nämna att jag jobbar utomlands, så några av de allsvenska spelarna kanske blir väl obskyra. Jag drar till med Teddy Lucic!
Mitt förslag om Teddy Lucic var baserat på att jag antog att dina kollegor var svenska. Då Lucic bara gjorde ett 30-tal proffsmatcher utomlands är jag osäker på ifall han är något större namn utanför Sverige. De flesta har nog ingen aning om vem det är.
För en internationell publik hade jag nog föreslagit den 35-årige engelsmannen
James Milner (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Milner) som just nu tillhör Liverpol FC. Han är den typen av spelare som aldrig gör några större väsen av sig men alltid biter ihop och är 100% professionell oavsett var på planen tränaren placerar honom.
Edit:
Så här skrev ESPN om Milner år 2015:
Citat:
If you were to present James Milner with a truckload of bricks and a mixer full of cement, he would build you a house. It would not be the greatest house on the street, but it would have a roof and four walls, it would not admit draughts and it would never leak in the winter.
If you were to present Milner with a guitar and an evocative reminder of a lover lost, he would write you a ballad. It would not be the greatest ballad you've ever heard, but it would have three verses and a chorus, it would set your feet tapping and it might just remind you of someone you thought you'd forgotten.
There is nothing that Milner cannot do. On day one of the zombie apocalypse, he is the person with whom you would want to fight your way out of the city. He'd keep it together, he'd know what to pack, and once you made it to the forest, he'd know which berries you could eat without getting sick.
It is this versatility and reliability that has made him so desirable, and yet it has cursed him too.
[...]
Milner has never really had a clearly defined best position. He has simply evolved from club to club, levelling up every season as more experience extends his skill set.
He is a competent striker, as City discovered when an injury crisis forced their hand this season.
He can play on either flank, in the centre of midfield, at wing-back or at full-back, and that's not just at club level. He's been just as versatile for his country.
