Dave Beasant

Dave Beasant is my kind of goalkeeper. At 193cm he was a wall, and what I admire most is the journeyman arc: from the rowdy Wimbledon era through Chelsea, Southampton and Newcastle, a man who kept being wanted somewhere. To me, repeated transfers across that many clubs are not a sign of instability but proof of durable usefulness, which is harder to sustain than a single flashy peak. His later turn to coaching reads like a craftsman passing on his trade. I respect that long, unglamorous career more than I would a brief burst of fame. A proper, reliable last line of defence.
