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.

Benjamin David Pearson (born 4 January 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for EFL Championship club Stoke City. Pearson began his career at Manchester United's academy. He spent time out on loan at Barnsley, before signing for Preston North End in January 2016. Pearson spent five years at Deepdale before joining AFC Bournemouth in January 2021.
