4) Zoltan Gera

Zoltan Gera
Gera is still one of the most important players for Hungary

At 37, the veteran midfielder will look to end his international career on a high, with a good showing from his team at this year’s Euro. He has been one of Hungary’s finest players for more than a decade now, and Hungary will depend on him to control the game from midfield.

He showed his class in the English Premier League, representing the likes of Fulham and West Bromwich Albion, where he became a cult hero, and currently plays for Hungarian club, Ferencvaros.

He was a part of Hungary’s squad which had a disappointing Euro 2008 qualifying campaign and finished sixth in their group. Hungary football and Gera have come a long way since then, as they are on the verge of qualifying for the last 16.

The experience of Gera, combining with the youthful Hungary players will give the team balance, and could potentially make Hungary a team to look out for in the knockout stages of the tournament.
