My Take
Colin Calderwood appeals to me because his career is built on the unfashionable virtues. A 183cm centre-back from Stranraer who held the line for Tottenham and Aston Villa in the Premier League, then grafted through the Football League at clubs like Swindon and Nottingham Forest, he was never the star, always the spine. What I respect most is the second act: defenders who spend a career organizing others often make thoughtful coaches, and he went straight into management, right up to an interim post at Northampton. There is something deeply honest about a man who wins matches from the back and then teaches others to do the same. I rate that quiet authority.
