My Take
Jimmy Case is the sort of footballer I have a soft spot for: the engine-room midfielder who made great teams tick without demanding the spotlight. Coming up with Liverpool through their dominant late-1970s and early-1980s run, he was a hard-running, ball-winning presence whose value showed in results more than headlines. The fact that he later moved into coaching tells me the game was in his bones, not just his legs. Born in 1954 in Liverpool, he feels like one of those craftsmen every era of English football needs, and I think he deserves more credit than nostalgia usually gives him.
