Xavier Margairaz

Swiss footballers tend to carry a reputation for discipline and intelligence, and Xavier Margairaz fits that mold for me. Born in Rances in the Canton of Vaud, the 185 cm midfielder built a career as a Swiss professional before retiring. Midfield play is the thinking person's position, the place where a match is quietly organized, and that is exactly the kind of footballer I respect most. The public record on him is modest, but the sweat of a man who ran European midfields is real. I admire players who make the game work from the engine room.
