Hussein Sulaimani

Hussein Sulaimani earns my respect as a workhorse of Saudi football. A left-back from Jeddah who spent his career in the Saudi Professional League, he played arguably the most thankless position on the pitch, expected to defend and attack without rest. At 174 cm he was never going to win matches on size alone, so I imagine his game was built on stamina and intelligence. Players who quietly anchor a flank for years rarely get the headlines they deserve. As a living witness to a key era of Middle Eastern football, he is exactly the sort of dependable figure worth remembering.
