Raul Rusescu

Rusescu chose the cruelest trade in football: striker, where you are judged in goals scored and chances spurned, week after relentless week. Born in 1988 in Ramnicu Valcea, he came up in a post-communist Romania still finding its feet, and football was a clear ladder out. I have a soft spot for forwards who keep stepping up to take the shot, knowing the whole stadium will remember if they miss. That nerve, the refusal to hide near goal, is the real mark of the breed. Even in retirement, that hunger tends to define the man who carried it.
