My Take
Des Walker is my model of the elegant defender. At Nottingham Forest he reached seven Wembley cup finals and won five, earning club Player of the Year three times and four straight PFA Team of the Year selections—numbers that betray how quietly excellent he was. What I admired wasn't crunching tackles but that recovery pace; he'd simply glide across to snuff out danger before it became danger. (The data quirk listing his birthplace as the Roman Empire is amusing—he's a proud Londoner and England international.) Now coaching, I suspect that sharp positional reading translates straight into how he teaches the game.
