Nasiru Bukar

This Nigerian wing-back is a living nightmare, capable of shutting down any winger with a stellar tackle and an explosive acceleration that makes him impossible to beat. Always humble, he tells a story of how he once calmed a rabid dog on the streets of Lagos using the exact same jockeying technique he applies on the pitch. Although his occasional tactical lapses can cause trouble, his physical prowess and aerial dominance make him a defensive wall that is impossible to ignore.
