Ragnar Klavan

Ragnar Klavan is the kind of footballer I quietly admire, the dependable left-footed centre back who rarely makes headlines but anchors everything. Being called one of the greatest Estonian players ever says a lot, because Estonia isn't a footballing giant, so rising to the top there means you carried a national flag with limited spotlight. I like that he could slot in at left back too, the mark of a defender who reads the game rather than just occupying a position. Defenders like Klavan are easy to overlook, but anyone who has watched a back line collapse without one knows exactly what he was worth.
