Barney Ronay's simple but accurate reason why Granit Xhaka was signing of the season in the Guardian writers' best and worst of the season

I'm now intrigued to know which of our other players match up to Lord of the Rings characters.
 

Rigg and Hume - Merry and Pippin.

Gollum - that scouse freak up the road

Legolas - Le Fee, using his accuracy of passing/archery to provide the goods.
 
Nerdcore alert: here’s the first description of Gandalf from The Silmarillion, back when he’s Olórin the Maia. Easy to make the connection to Xhaka!

he walked among them unseen, or in form as one of them, and they did not know whence came the fair visions or the promptings of wisdom that he put into their hearts. In later days he was the friend of all the Children of Ilúvatar, and took pity on their sorrows; and those who listened to him awoke from despair and put away the imaginations of darkness.

Luke is Samwise - Mr Dependable

Dennis is Legolas thanks to his pretty hair
