My Take
Andy Townsend strikes me as the kind of dependable midfielder every team quietly needs. A Maidstone lad who carved out a Premier League career with Chelsea, Aston Villa and Middlesbrough, he later reinvented himself as a sharp co-commentator for Premier League Productions and CBS Sports. Not every great player can articulate the game once they retire, but Townsend reads matches with a real insider's eye. At 180 centimetres anchoring the middle of the park, he was never flashy, but his value was obvious. I admire people who win twice over, first on the pitch and then in the booth, and his love of football clearly endures.
