Barry Bannan

I have a soft spot for players like Barry Bannan. At 169 cm, the Airdrie-born Scot was never going to win battles on size, so he built a career on vision and passing precision instead, moving from the Celtic Academy through Aston Villa and on to Millwall as a central midfielder. He has no glittering trophy haul, just a long, grounded grind of doing the unglamorous work that lets a team play. To me that quiet craftsmanship deserves real respect. He is the kind of understated playmaker whose value you only fully appreciate when he is missing.
