Andreas Hinkel

Andreas Hinkel is exactly the kind of right-back I find easy to root for. Born in Backnang, he broke through at VfB Stuttgart in 2000, balanced attacking overlaps with defensive steel, won 21 caps for Germany, and tested himself abroad with Sevilla in La Liga. The relentless up-and-down work on the flank rarely earns headlines, but it is the engine of any good team. That he moved into coaching afterward suggests a thoughtful, tactically literate mind. I quietly applaud players like Hinkel who do the unglamorous running so others can shine, season after season, without complaint.
