The people's rank, live from duel votes
Esteghlal Ahvaz gave him the armband and made him the first foreigner ever to captain a club in the Iranian league, and his coach Milan Zivadinovic took to calling him Our Ronaldo, partly for the haircut and partly for what the side lost without him. Fourth place with Iraq at the Athens Olympics in 2004, the WAFF Championship in 2002, a Hazfi Cup with Sepahan, and 59 caps across twelve years. Career record: 66 caps and 8 goals for Iraq; club career at Talaba SC, Esteghlal Ahvaz, Sepahan.
