My Take

Brian McClair is exactly the type of footballer I gravitate toward: an unglamorous, relentlessly effective forward. Across nearly eleven years at Manchester United he stacked up 14 trophies, including four league titles, FA Cups and the Cup Winners' Cup, scoring vital goals without ever demanding the spotlight. Coming out of Airdrie in Scotland and climbing to the heart of an elite club is a grafter's story, and his move into coaching afterward fits that mold perfectly. I have a real weakness for honest, dependable professionals like him. The quiet steadiness he brought, right down to wearing number 13, is what I admire.

Overview
