My Take
What strikes me about Erwin "Jimmy" Hoffer is endurance over flash. A 17-year career threaded through Austria, Italy, Germany and Belgium isn't built on raw talent alone; it demands adaptability and a stubborn refusal to fade. Representing Austria at Euro 2008 on home soil must have been the emotional peak, but I'm more drawn to the long middle stretch of a journeyman striker who kept finding a new shirt and a new league. At 177 cm he wasn't a towering target man, which makes the longevity more impressive. I respect players who outlast the hype, and Hoffer reads like one of them.
