My Take
Eniola Aluko interests me because she refused to be defined by a single chapter. A British-Nigerian winger who tormented defenders despite a compact frame, she then pivoted into broadcasting and football executive roles without missing a beat. That combination of on-pitch instinct and off-pitch intellect is rare, and her Brunel education clearly shows. I find her most compelling as a boundary-pusher: she has spoken hard truths within the game and opened doors in spaces that long excluded women like her. Whatever one makes of her opinions, she earned a seat at the table the difficult way, and that commands respect.
