Rick Payne

After overcoming a debilitating phobia of airplanes that kept him grounded for years, this charismatic Australian wing-back channels that frustration into explosive speed and iron-willed blocking on the pitch. He dominates the flanks with tireless stamina and aerial power, despite a comical inability to lift his feet off the turf during headers. His relentless drive and physical presence make him a constant threat, even if his awkward slide tackling often leaves something to be desired.
