Connor Wickham

Connor Wickham reminds me how heavy the label of 'next big thing' can sit on a young English striker. A towering 191cm forward out of Hereford, he announced himself at Ipswich and earned a big move to Sunderland, with Crystal Palace and others along the way. Injuries clearly bit into what might have been, yet what I respect is the refusal to fade quietly -- Leeds, Preston, Forest Green, still chasing goals wherever the game took him. There is a quiet professional pride in that persistence. He may not have lived up to every prediction, but a long career built on simply showing up and competing is, in my book, its own kind of success.
