Alan Stubbs

Alan Stubbs strikes me as the archetypal stubborn English centre-back, and I mean that as high praise. Standing 188 cm, he played top-flight football for every club he wore, Bolton, Everton, Sunderland and Derby, plus a five-year run at Celtic, and earning trust at each is no small feat for a defender. That he moved straight into management feels natural for a man whose job was reading the whole pitch from behind. He never rose above England B level, but I reserve real respect for these unglamorous craftsmen. He is the sort who leads with his back turned, by example.

Alan Stubbs (born 6 October 1971) is an English football manager and former professional footballer. As a player he was a centre-back who played top flight football for every club he played for. He played in the Premier League with Bolton Wanderers, Everton, Sunderland and Derby County as well as a five-year spell in the Scottish Premiership with Celtic. He was capped once at England B level.
