Colin Healy

What draws me to Colin Healy is the full arc of a working footballer's life. He earned his stripes the hard way, five years at Celtic and three at Sunderland, never the marquee name but always dependable. Then he came home, taking charge of Cork City in his own backyard before building up Kerry FC. I find that loyalty to place quietly moving. Plenty of ex-pros chase glamour; Healy returned to the grind of management in the League of Ireland, where the work is unglamorous and the rewards modest. To me he embodies football's real backbone, the people who keep the game standing.
