Michael Frontzeck

I have a soft spot for one-club-hearted players, and Michael Frontzeck is exactly that. Three separate stints at Borussia Mönchengladbach in his hometown tells you everything about loyalty and identity. Left backs rarely get the headlines, yet at 184 cm he had to defend, overlap and run the flank for ninety minutes. What impresses me more is his second act in coaching, all the way up to assisting at Wolfsburg. He never seems to have chased the spotlight; he just understood the unglamorous corners of the game and stayed useful. That quiet, craftsman-like durability is the kind of football life I genuinely admire.
