Pantelis Economou

Standing as a towering force in the box, this humble Cypriot keeper combines elite parrying and acrobatic diving with the occasionally erratic decision-making that leaves his defense sweating. Before every kick-off, he insists on whispering his life story to his left glove, a ritual that leaves his bewildered teammates silently counting down the minutes until he stops talking to his leather. Despite his spotty command of the area, he is the undisputed master of the penalty spot when the pressure is at its peak.
