Robin Koch is a Germany international with a good 10 years ahead which could take him anywhere in the world beyond Leeds United and yet he’s buying into this city wholeheartedly.
The 25-year-old doesn’t know whether he’s going to be plying his trade at Elland Road for three years or 15 years and yet he’s not just got his head down, focusing on his next training session, his next international cap, his route to the Champions League.
Like many professional footballers who have come through United’s doors or other clubs’ doors up and down the country, Koch would be forgiven for doing nothing in the city beyond the football he’s paid for.
