Gary Cahill

Gary Cahill is the sort of defender I instinctively trust. A 193 cm centre-back who came up the hard way, from the AFC Dronfield youth setup to the Aston Villa Academy and a formative loan at Burnley, he earned every step rather than being handed a stage. I think that grind is exactly why his defending had such backbone. He could win aerial duels and stand firm one-on-one, the unglamorous spine every good team needs. I have a soft spot for players who do the quiet, thankless work, and Cahill struck me as a model professional whose value rarely showed up in highlight reels.
