My Take
Poborský will forever be that lob over Vitor Baia at Euro 96, a goal so audacious it relaunched a tournament. But I appreciate that he was more than one highlight: a genuinely technical winger with real pace who earned a Manchester United move off that summer. The detail I love is that he began and ended his career at Dynamo Ceske Budejovice, and they retired his number 8 there. That kind of loyalty to a home club is rare. He never quite settled at United, yet his Czech and Lazio years showed a player who understood width better than most. A proper craftsman of the flank.
