My Take
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.

Erik Durm (born 12 May 1992) is a German former professional footballer who played as a full-back. He made his senior debut for the Germany national team in 2014, and later that year was part of their squad that won the World Cup.
