My Take
Davids, the Surinamese-born Dutch midfielder they called "The Pitbull," is the kind of footballer I'll always champion. At just 168 cm, he covered ground relentlessly and broke up attacks with a ferocity that belied his size, and the dreadlocks and protective goggles made him instantly iconic. What earns my deepest respect is that he kept competing at the top while managing a serious eye condition. He was never the glamour name, but a side needs a destroyer like him to function. I hope his coaching work passes that same fire on to a new generation.
