My Take
Lass Bangoura strikes me as a true footballing journeyman in the best sense. Born in Conakry, Guinea, this right winger made over 150 appearances for Rayo Vallecano in Spain, then carried his game to France, Canada, Ecuador and Greece. Reinventing yourself in that many leagues and languages takes nerve most players never test. Representing Guinea at two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments adds real pride to the story. At 174 cm he was never the biggest man on the pitch, so he won with quickness and craft instead. I have a soft spot for grafting wide players like him who earn their place the hard way.
