My Take
Dennis Wise is my kind of footballer: undersized, unglamorous, and absolutely relentless. The Wikidata import here lists oddities like a two-centimetre height and a Roman Empire birthplace, but the real man is far more compelling than any glitch. As the snarling heartbeat of Wimbledon's Crazy Gang in that 1988 FA Cup shock over Liverpool, and then the engine of Chelsea through the 1990s, he embodied the truth that grit can outlast talent. His later turns in management and recruitment show a mind for the game, not just a temper. I respect builders of dressing-room spirit, and few did it harder.
