My Take
Ibrahim Ba had the kind of career that maps the geography of football. Born in Dakar and capped eight times by France between 1997 and 1998 with two goals, he started at Le Havre and then carried his game across Italy, England, Turkey, and Sweden before finishing at AC Milan in 2008. I admire that range; a right midfielder with the pace to thrive in so many leagues clearly trusted his own legs. Wearing the France shirt during that golden late-90s era is no small thing. To me he's a reminder of how international football careers can stretch across a whole continent.
