Vagif Javadov

Vagif Javadov draws me in because he carries a footballing nation many fans rarely think about. Born in Baku in 1989, the 183 cm forward made enough noise to be voted Azerbaijani Footballer of the Year in 2009. Now retired from playing, he coaches Sumgayit FK's reserve side, and I find his pivot from finisher to teacher genuinely appealing. There is something I respect about doing the patient, low-glamour work of building up the next players for your home country away from any bright lights. That second chapter, quietly nurturing Azerbaijani football, strikes me as good and honest work.
