My Take
Sonny Anderson is exactly the kind of striker I gravitate toward: a Brazilian goal machine who proved himself far from home. Racking up 138 goals in 221 Ligue 1 matches with Lyon and Monaco, plus a spell at Barcelona, he showed a consistency that few imports sustain abroad. What impresses me is not just the scoring but the longevity and adaptability it took to thrive in France for so long. That he later moved into coaching and consultancy tells me his love of the game outlasted his playing days. A quietly remarkable career that deserves more remembering.
