My Take
Gène Hanssen would be a footnote to most readers, but the Japan connection is what hooks me. A loyal Roda JC man from the German-border town of Kerkrade who, at the tail end of his career, crossed the world to play in the inaugural J1 League season with Verdy Kawasaki. He left mid-season, contract cancelled in 1993, yet he was one of the few Europeans who showed up for the J.League's chaotic, electric birth. That small footprint matters to me. I like remembering the journeymen who quietly stitched continents together with nothing but a ball.
