Erik Meijer

Erik Meijer is my kind of striker. A 189 cm Dutchman from Limburg, he was famous as a header specialist, the bruising target man who wins the ugly battles up front. I love centre-forwards built for sacrifice rather than highlight reels. Even better, after hanging up his boots he stayed in the game as director of sports at Alemannia Aachen, proving his bond with football ran deeper than playing. My take is that Meijer represents the honest, hard-graft tradition of the game: a man who served his clubs with his body on the pitch and his head off it.
