The term 'maverick' is defined as 'an unorthodox or independent-minded person'.
That definition of the term is often used to describe certain football players. Those players who like to put on a show for the supporters. After all, football is supposed to be entertainment; it needs entertainers.
Over the years we've had Paul Gascoigne, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and more recently in the Premier League we've seen the likes of Allan Saint-Maximin excite Newcastle United supporters. Not even to mention the great Eden Hazard. All of these players listed can frustrate fans when they're not quite on it, but when they're in-form, it's hard to match in terms of sheer entertainment.
