My Take
Pontus Kåmark is the kind of footballer I instinctively trust. A defender from Västerås who earned 57 Sweden caps and bounced from IFK Göteborg to Leicester City, he was part of that gritty side that took third at the 1994 World Cup. Defenders rarely get the headlines, and that suits players like him just fine. My read is that he was a tidy, unselfish stopper who did the unglamorous work so the forwards could shine. I have a soft spot for the men who quietly hold the back line together, and Kåmark strikes me as exactly that breed of dependable professional.
