At the age of 40, Gabor Kiraly set the tournament on fire after two fantastic performances for the Hungarians in the group stages of the tournament. Despite conceding seven in his next two games, which were thanks to Ronaldo and Hazard’s brilliance, Kiraly makes it to our list.

He set the record to be the oldest player at the Euros and sported his traditional sweatpants. Hungary only kept once clean sheet this tournament and that was down to the inconsistent defensive performances but Kiraly always had their back. With seventeen saves and sixteen claims in just four games, in which he conceded 8 goals – Kiraly was Hungary’s Mr. Dependable.

If not for this man, Hungary could have probably let in over 5 goals against Belgium and Portugal, and could not have won their game against Austria. With his vast experience, Kiraly’s presence in the Hungarian squad was vital.
