Theofanis Gekas

Theofanis Gekas is the kind of striker I have a soft spot for: not a global superstar, just a relentless goal machine who topped the scoring charts in both Greece and the Bundesliga. That dual feat impresses me more than a glamorous CV would. He bounced around Germany, Turkey, England and Spain, which tells me he was always wanted, always finding the net somewhere. There's something honest about a poacher whose whole reputation rests on putting the ball away. Now into coaching and football administration, he feels like a player turning hard-won instinct into something he can pass on.
