Craig Cathcart

What I admire most about Craig Cathcart is the unglamorous patience of his path. Coming out of Manchester United's academy in Belfast, he could have stalled chasing a dream that wasn't his to take, but instead he grafted through loans in Belgium and the Championship before carving out a real career and earning his Northern Ireland caps. As a 188cm centre-back, he's the kind of dependable defender who rarely makes highlight reels yet quietly holds a backline together. I have a real soft spot for players like this, the ones who build a career on graft, trust and reading the game rather than flash.

Craig George Cathcart (born 6 February 1989) is a Northern Irish former professional footballer who played as a centre-back. A product of the Manchester United youth academy, Cathcart spent time on loan at Belgian club Royal Antwerp, and English Championship sides Plymouth Argyle and Watford, before joining then newly promoted club Blackpool in 2010.
