Erik Durm

Erik Durm will always be, in my mind, a 2014 World Cup champion, which is a remarkable line for a full-back who was barely 22 at the time. He broke through at Dortmund and earned a winner's medal before most players get a sniff of a national team. He was never the star; he was the diligent, two-way wide man who does the unglamorous running, the type rewarded with the Silbernes Lorbeerblatt and trusted by coaches. I have a soft spot for these reliable grafters. Teams win because of the Durms, even when the headlines go elsewhere.
