Jozy Altidore

I have a real soft spot for Jozy Altidore. Breaking into the New York Red Bulls at sixteen and earning a ten-million-dollar move to Villarreal at eighteen took uncommon nerve for a young American forward. What I appreciate most is his style: a physical, unselfish striker who threw his body around the box and did the grimy work most fans overlook. He carried the United States attack for years, weathering plenty of criticism along the way. He was never the flashiest, but the willingness to grind for the team is exactly the quality I value, and it made him quietly indispensable.
