Euro 2012: One to watch - Theodor Gebre Selassie (Czech Republic)
Country: Czech Republic
Caps: 8
Goals: 0
Club: FC Slovan Liberec
Age: 25
Position: Defender
Born to a Czech mother and Ethiopian father, Gebre Selassie is the first person of colour to represent the Czech Republic.
A tenacious, hard-tackling right back, he is equally at home in a flat back four or as a more defensive-minded wing back.
His lack of experience against big name players shouldn’t be too much of a problem as he will be ably covered by German based Roman Hubnik and Michal Kadlec, as well as Beskitas’ Tomas Sivok in defence.
