My Take

What I respect about Ben Gibson is the unglamorous path he took. A boy from Nunthorpe who climbed through Middlesbrough's academy and earned his stripes on loan at Plymouth, York and Tranmere before forcing his way into the first team. At 185 cm he is the kind of centre-back whose job is to head away crosses and organize the line rather than chase headlines. I have always had a soft spot for these dependable defensive grafters. He may never trend on social media, but the men who quietly hold a back line together are, to me, the real backbone of any serious football club.

Overview
