Rated as one of the best full-backs in Europe, he also has pace in abundance and has been described as a 'tenacious tackler'.
"He's more than just a tackler," he says.
A hard tackler with the positional sense to be both a fine man-marker and creative fulcrum, he possessed great finishing skills augmented by a fierce shot.
He's good with his head, he's a good tackler, strong and plays man on man.
