Dino Baggio

Dino Baggio is exactly the kind of footballer I admire most. Born in 1971 near Padua and standing 188 cm, he was a defensive midfielder who did the unglamorous work, breaking up play and running endlessly while flashier names took the headlines. Three UEFA Cup titles, twice with Parma and once with Juventus, plus a spell at Blackburn, tell you how reliably he delivered. He shared a surname but no blood with Roberto, yet carved his own identity through grit rather than flair. To me, the engine-room professionals like him are the true backbone of any great team.
