Indeed, we could hardly neglect to mention Fran Franczak: a young whippet of a lad born on the 16th of August, 2007, in the brisk climes of Poland. At the ripe age of 17, Franczak brings an impressive energy to the field from the heart of the midfield. He currently plies his trade for St Johnstone, where he's famed for donning the number 46 jersey.
Quite the compact dynamo, Franczak stands at 5 foot 9 inches (1.76 metres) tall and tips the scales at 10 stone 7 pounds (67 kilograms). It is this physique that provides that delightful blend of finesse and grit: a core characteristic of central midfielders.
The 2023 - 2024 season bore witness to Franczak's debut in the Scottish Premiership with St Johnstone, forever etching his name in the annals of the club’s glorious history. The first season saw him making eight first-team appearances, offering glimpses of his potential.
In the ongoing season of 2024 - 2025, Franczak continues to grapple with the rigours and challenges of top-flight football in Scotland. He has presently turned out twice for the first team, but it's the dawn of his career, and one could rightly expect this tally to rise.
