Russell Thorpe

This Welsh defensive midfielder is a literal whirlwind on the pitch, pairing phenomenal explosiveness with a boundary-pushing aggression that leaves opponents terrified. His intensity is such that he was once sent off in the youth academy for slide-tackling an opponent while the ball was still out for a throw-in. Despite some occasionally flighty tactical awareness, his unrelenting physicality and aerial prowess make him an unbreakable wall.
