My Take
Brian Kidd earns my affection for the shape of his whole career, not just its peak. Yes, he won the European Cup with Manchester United in 1968 as a striker, but what I admire is the decades he spent afterward in the shadows as a coach, including a long stint as Manchester City's assistant. A Manchester boy who served both halves of that city's footballing soul is a rare thing. The glamour belongs to goalscorers, yet the real love of the game often lives in those who quietly develop and support others. Kidd did both, and that dual legacy is, to me, the mark of a true football man.
