My Take

Dzoni Novak earns my sympathy and admiration in equal measure. A Ljubljana-born midfielder, standing just 172 cm, he carried a newly independent Slovenia onto the biggest stages at Euro 2000 and the 2002 World Cup co-hosted in Japan and South Korea. There is something stirring about a player from a small nation, wedged between giants, holding his own among the world's best. As a natural underdog supporter, I root for stories like his. Central midfielders rarely get the glory, yet they are the heartbeat of a side, and Novak clearly was exactly that for his country.
