Bakhtier Gafurov

This lightning-fast Uzbek wing-back combines outstanding heading with an almost eerie calmness, although his worrying lack of aggression sometimes makes him look as if he were on a peaceful Sunday stroll during the heat of a match. The story of how he once paused to kindly fix an opponent's misplaced shin pad in the middle of a counter-attack has become legendary. He dominates the flank with perfect positioning and extreme speed, a true gentleman defender who never lets his temper flare.
