Jan Koller

Jan Koller is pure footballing romance the moment you hear his height: 202 cm of Czech striker from rural South Bohemia. I remember his playing days vividly. After Sparta Prague he went to Belgium, became top scorer with Lokeren, won two league titles with Anderlecht and claimed the 2000 Belgian Golden Shoe. The towering headers were spectacular, but what I love most is his improbable versatility, even stepping in as an emergency goalkeeper when needed. He blended intimidating physicality with a likeable, almost gentle presence, and that contrast made him one of the truly unique strikers of his generation.
