Dean Austin

Dean Austin's second act interests me more than his first. As a player he was a dependable defender, with 124 appearances over six years at Tottenham and a long stint at Crystal Palace. But becoming head of recruitment at Coventry City is the truly compelling chapter. The man who battled on the pitch now decides which battlers get a chance, and few people are better placed to judge a footballer than one who lived that grind himself. I admire those who pour their playing experience back into the game's foundations, and Austin strikes me as exactly that kind of steward.
