Pipat Thonkanya

Pipat Thonkanya is exactly the sort of regional footballer I think deserves more memory than he gets. An Udon Thani-born forward, he featured for BEC Tero Sasana around their run to the 2003 AFC Champions League final, took spells in Vietnam, and was a key figure in PEA FC's 2008 Thai Premier League title. That he also played futsal tells me his close control was the real thing. I am drawn to players who quietly raise the level of their domestic game rather than chasing the brightest leagues, and he reads as a craftsman striker who helped Thai football grow on its own terms.
