Dan Burn

At 201 cm, Dan Burn is a reassuring sight at the heart of Newcastle United's defence. What I love is the path he took: a local lad from Blyth who clawed up from Darlington in the lower leagues, through Fulham, into the Premier League and ultimately the England national team. That is no academy fast-track, it is grit and accumulation. There is something deeply satisfying about a hometown player making it at the top, and Burn is more than just height, he reads the game well. I have a soft spot for this kind of hard-earned, unglamorous success story.
