My Take
Aaron Clapham is the kind of footballer I instinctively root for: a Christchurch native who spent the bulk of his senior career with hometown Canterbury United rather than drifting from club to club. His time at the University of Louisville suggests a player willing to test himself abroad before coming home, and his pivot into coaching feels like a natural extension of that loyalty. At 172 cm he was never going to overpower anyone, so he must have relied on smarts and grit. I find one-club loyalty genuinely moving, and I suspect he will pour that same devotion into developing the next generation.
