Dublin-born Roberto 'Pico' Lopes came up through Irish football and became a stalwart and captain at Shamrock Rovers. His Cape Verde call-up is the stuff of legend: the national-team manager first messaged him on LinkedIn in Portuguese, which Pico ignored, before following up nine months later in English. He has since become a centre-back fixture and a key leader as Cape Verde reached their first World Cup.
- Was recruited to play for Cape Verde via a LinkedIn message he initially ignored
- Long-serving captain of Shamrock Rovers
- Born and raised in Ireland
