Craig Bellamy

Craig Bellamy is one of those one-off characters I enjoy following into the dugout. A Cardiff-born forward who debuted for Norwich in 1996 and broke Coventry's transfer record in 2000, he played with his temper on full display, all fire and grievance. I like a man who refuses to hide his edge and shouts on the pitch. The clashes came with the territory, but they also showed how badly he wanted to win. Now head coach of Wales, he clearly had the football brain underneath all that heat. Roughness and intelligence in one man makes for a fascinating manager.

Craig Douglas Bellamy (born 13 July 1979) is a Welsh football coach and former professional footballer who played as a forward. He is the current head coach of Wales. Born in Cardiff, Bellamy made his professional debut with Norwich City in 1996. He signed for Premier League side Coventry City in 2000, breaking the club's record transfer fee, but suffered relegation in his only season.
