Footballers that have surpised you
Inspired a bit by the Linvoy thread. I often find myself defending footballers against the "they're all over paid, thick thugs" cliche.
To that end, I'd like to start a thread about footballers that have surprised you by being atypical of the above cliche.
For example, when he's not scoring from a blatantly offside position against Bolton and Stoke, Jody Craddock is reasonable with a paint brush.
