My Take
I have a soft spot for full-backs like Giandomenico Mesto, the kind of player whose value never shows up neatly in a stat sheet. Born in Monopoli in Puglia, he built a career on pace, work-rate, and the willingness to cover every blade of grass on the right flank, switching between defence and midfield without complaint. That he was named a Knight of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic back in 2004 tells me his quiet contribution was recognised early. Players like this rarely make headlines, yet managers fight to keep them. To me, that selfless reliability is its own kind of greatness.
