My Take
Shota Arveladze is, to me, a genuine footballing great too easily overlooked outside Georgia. As his country's all-time top scorer with 291 league goals and a career spanning Ajax, Rangers and beyond, he carried a small nation's flag onto Europe's biggest stages. That kind of consistent finishing across leagues is rare and deserves real respect. What intrigues me now is his move into coaching, where a striker's instinct meets the patience of teaching. Players who can both score and mentor are unusual, and I find his journey from Tbilisi to the European elite genuinely inspiring. He is a name worth remembering.
