Frank Fielding

Goalkeeping is the position I respect most, because it is so cruelly thankless, and Frank Fielding lived that life. Out of Blackburn Rovers' academy, he embarked on a relentless apprenticeship of loans, Wycombe, Northampton, Rochdale, Leeds, Derby, before settling at the latter. That nomadic CV could read as failure, but I see it differently: a goalkeeper who kept fighting for minutes, refusing to let the role hand him to anyone. There is no shortcut to becoming the last line of defence, and Fielding clearly took the long, grinding road. I value that stubborn, unshowy reliability far more than a flashy reputation.
