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.
