Mihael Mikić

Mihael Mikić is a footballer whose career I find quietly remarkable for its longevity in an unexpected place. The Croatian right midfielder, who could also play winger or right-back, became something of a cult figure in Japan during a long spell with Sanfrecce Hiroshima, where his crossing and set pieces helped deliver league titles. I have a soft spot for European players who go to a different football culture and truly become legends there rather than just collecting paychecks. The label here calls him American, but he is from Zagreb. His is the kind of well-traveled, deeply respected career that rarely makes global headlines.
