Ben Pearson

Ben Pearson is the kind of midfielder I instinctively root for. An Oldham lad shaped by Manchester United's academy, he never broke into that golden setup at the top, instead grinding out a career across Preston, Bournemouth and Stoke City. At a compact 176 centimetres he wins his battles in the tackle, breaking up play and feeding teammates, the unglamorous water-carrier who quietly banks points for the side. He will never headline a highlight reel, yet teams simply do not function without men like him. That kind of combative, selfless graft earns my wholehearted applause.
