Solid, reliable, professional. Three words that embody Markko Rakkinen, one of Starblaydia's greatest-ever Left-Backs. He captained his club side, Tabeck FC, and played for Starblaydia at left back throughout his international career, which won him an great many number of caps.

His international highlight was undoubtedly when he kept his cool in the World Cup 28 final to score the fourth penalty in Starblaydia's Shoot-out victory over Bedistan, which they eventually won 7-6 after a 0-0 draw over 120 minutes.
