Darren Anderton

What strikes me about Darren Anderton is the loyalty. Twelve years and nearly 300 league appearances for Tottenham Hotspur is the kind of one-club devotion that has all but vanished from the modern game, and I respect it. He had the talent to be a fixture for England, yet injuries dogged so much of his prime that it's tempting to wonder what might have been. The 1999 League Cup win feels like the deserved reward for sticking around through the lean years. To me he reads as a craftsman's footballer rather than a headline-grabber, and there's something quietly admirable in that.
