My Take
Antonio Colak fascinates me as a true footballing wanderer. Born in Ludwigsburg, Germany, he chose to represent Croatia, his roots, and that decision alone says something about identity over convenience. As a towering 189 cm forward, he clawed his way up from the German lower divisions and has since scored across the top flights of Germany, Poland, Croatia, Greece, Sweden and Scotland. Thriving in that many different leagues demands almost freakish adaptability. I find myself instinctively cheering for these travelling strikers who repay every new club in the only currency that matters for a number nine: goals.
