Conor Hourihane

Conor Hourihane is the kind of footballer I instinctively admire. The Cork-born midfielder grafted his way through English football, turning out for Aston Villa, Sunderland, Ipswich Town, Derby County and Barnsley, rarely a marquee name but consistently a team's engine. There is something deeply honest about a 1.80 m midfielder who earns his place through work rather than hype. That he moved into management at Barnsley after retiring suggests a player who always understood the game from the inside. I have real affection for these unflashy, durable professionals who quietly hold a side together, and his Irish grit comes through clearly.
