My Take
Brede Hangeland's career is a great study in identity and grit. American-born to a Norwegian father, he chose Norway and became a towering, no-nonsense centre-back at 199 cm. The trophy haul earns my respect: a Norwegian Cup with Viking, two Danish Superliga titles in Copenhagen, and the 2009 Kniksen Player of the Year. Defenders rarely get the romance that strikers do, but I value the ones who simply make forwards disappear, and his Scandinavian-forged solidity did exactly that. He is the sort of dependable anchor that lets a whole back line breathe easier, and I rate him highly.
