Kostas Chalkias

Kostas Chalkias is the kind of goalkeeper I instinctively warm to. Standing 199cm and hailing from Larissa, he must have been a daunting wall for any striker to face. His career took him from Panathinaikos to Portsmouth and PAOK, with 32 caps for Greece, but the line on his CV that stops me is being part of the Euro 2004 winning squad, one of football's great shocks. There's a particular loneliness to the goalkeeper's job, carrying the team from the very back, and I have enormous respect for those who shoulder it well. Chalkias quietly did exactly that.
