Ben Godfrey

Ben Godfrey is exactly the kind of footballer I find quietly compelling. A York-born centre-back who climbed through England's youth ranks to the senior side, he has spent recent seasons rebuilding his career, moving from Atalanta out on loan to Brøndby in Denmark. I respect that willingness to cross borders in search of regular football rather than coast on reputation. Defenders rarely get the headlines, but a committed, physical centre-back is the spine of any good team. Godfrey's path has been more grit than glamour, and that is precisely why I keep an eye on how his story unfolds.
