Sweden - Centre-back Hysén, Glenn
Put Hysén into a high-pressure back line and the first thing you noticed was authority. At IFK Göteborg, Fiorentina and Liverpool, he combined centre-back strength with leadership, anticipation and the ability to defend large spaces without looking panicked, dettaglio non banale. Swedish captain at the 1990 World Cup and a league winner at Liverpool, he belongs among the country’s most complete defenders of the late 1980s: commanding, brave and cleaner on the ball than the hard-man image suggests.
