My Take

Ricardo Vaz Tê interests me as the quintessential journeyman striker, a 188 cm Lisbon-born forward who roamed across Bolton, Hull, Barnsley and West Ham before adding Greece, Scotland, Turkey and Portugal to his passport. I find more to admire in that restless, adaptable career than in any cushy stint at a single big club; he kept finding goals and finding a place wherever he landed. That kind of resilience and willingness to start over speaks to a real professional's mentality. I picture a tall, aerial threat with the Libra-like balance to fit into any league, and I genuinely warm to footballers who travel that hard for the game.
