Jackson Irvine

Jackson Irvine is the sort of player I instinctively respect, because his value rarely shows up in highlight reels. A Melbourne-born central midfielder who captains St. Pauli in the Bundesliga and plays for the Socceroos, he's earned that armband through graft across Celtic, Hull City, Hibernian and a string of British clubs. To me that winding path through smaller sides and steady self-improvement is more telling than any single transfer. Captaining a German top-flight side as an Australian midfielder says plenty about leadership and durability. I tend to value players teammates choose to follow, and Irvine clearly fits that mould.
