My Take
David Marshall, the 190 cm Glaswegian keeper born in 1985, has a story I genuinely respect. He rose through Celtic's youth system and became the hero of a famous European win over Barcelona, the kind of night that defines a goalkeeper forever. What impresses me most is his resilience. When he lost his place to Artur Boruc, he didn't sulk; he moved to Norwich City and rebuilt his career. There's a stubborn Scottish steel in that, a quiet refusal to be finished. I see in Marshall the unfussy, durable temperament that the best shot-stoppers seem to share, and I admire it.
