Jody Morris

Jody Morris embodies a career arc I find genuinely respectable. A Hammersmith-born midfielder who tasted real silverware at Chelsea, the 1998 UEFA Super Cup and the 2000 FA Cup, before moving through Leeds, Millwall and others, then reinventing himself as a coach up to managing Swindon Town. What I admire is the transition itself: a player who reached the top choosing to spend his second act trying to lift younger players there too. That's harder and less glamorous than it sounds.
