My Take
Vizek belongs to a vanished golden era of Czechoslovak football, and I have a soft spot for players from that generation. Olympic gold in 1980 and a bronze finish at the same year's Euros mark him as a genuine winner, and 13 goals in 55 internationals is no small return. The detail I keep coming back to is his sending-off in that final 1982 World Cup match against France. To me it speaks less of indiscipline than of a man who burned hot for the contest. He played with fire, and that competitive heat is exactly what I respect in a footballer.
