Craig Dawson

Craig Dawson is my kind of footballer, the unfashionable centre-back who simply refuses to disappear. Starting at non-league Radcliffe Borough and climbing through Bolton, West Brom, Watford, West Ham and Wolves is not a glamour story, it is a survival story written in headers and last-ditch blocks. Defenders like him rarely make highlight reels, except when they ghost in for a set-piece goal and steal the day. What I admire is the longevity: staying relevant in the Premier League for years on grit and reliability rather than hype. Football needs these unbreakable, dependable men far more than it admits.
