#1 Aaron Hughes
In spite of having Wes Brown, Sandesh Jhingan, Nemanja Lakic Pesic and many other household names in the defence, Kerala Blasters' defensive woes were as clear as the daylight.
Trending
Kerala Blasters' game against FC Goa at the Fatorda Stadium explained all the loopholes. While their marquee signing Dimitar Berbatov failed to impress and left the fans frustrating, this wasn't the situation last year.
Despite having a mediocre team in the third edition, Kerala Blasters displayed some great piece of football. Their Marquee signing Hughes stood at the helm and led the line for Blasters.
He played 11 games for Kerala Blasters and even bagged a goal to his name.
The impact of Northern Ireland defender was visible in the improvement of players like Jhingan. His ability to handle pressure with calm and composure was evident throughout his stint at KBFC.
Bringing Hughes back would find an end to the misery the club have. The Northern Ireland international is still playing competitive football.
Hughes is playing for Hearts of Midlothian in the Scotish top tier league. Hughes contract with Hearts is due to end this summer.
