My Take
I find Emmerson Boyce a wonderfully grounded figure. Born in Aylesbury and starting at sixteen as an apprentice at Luton Town, he carved out a long career as a reliable right back, the unglamorous job of stopping other teams' stars rather than scoring the goals that make headlines. What impresses me most is what came after: stepping into management with Wigan Athletic Women shows a curiosity and generosity that not every retired player has. I respect athletes who give back the craft they spent years mastering. Boyce reads to me as the steady, intelligent professional every dressing room secretly relies on, and I admire that quality enormously.
