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.

Jackson Alexander Irvine (born 7 March 1993) is an Australian professional soccer player who plays as a central midfielder for Bundesliga club FC St. Pauli, which he captains, and the Australia national team. Irvine previously played for Celtic, Kilmarnock, Ross County, Burton Albion, Hull City and Hibernian.
