David Moyes

David Moyes embodies a kind of self-made resilience I find easy to root for. A Glasgow-born Scot who logged over 540 appearances as a no-nonsense centre-back at Celtic and beyond, he carried that grit straight into management, building organized, defensively sound sides on hard work rather than star power. I respect that he kept clawing his way back after a difficult spell at a giant club, repeatedly earning Manager of the Year recognition by patiently elevating Everton. He is not the flashy name on a shortlist, but he is the dependable craftsman dressing rooms trust, and that OBE feels thoroughly earned.
