My Take
Philippe Mexès is the kind of defender I find irresistible: rugged, fearless and occasionally spectacular. Anchoring the back line for Auxerre, Roma and AC Milan, he earned the trust of demanding Italian clubs, which is no small endorsement of his quality. What I remember most are his audacious goals, wonder strikes you simply do not expect from a centre-back. He had a fiery edge too, but that competitiveness is part of the package. Twenty-nine France caps confirm the pedigree. To me he represents the romance of the old-school defender who could also produce moments of pure magic.
