My Take
Fagan is my kind of football figure, the quiet craftsman who served Liverpool for nearly three decades in the shadows before finally taking the top job and immediately winning a continental-treble's worth of silverware. I find that arc deeply moving: no ego, no rush, just patient mastery rewarded at last. As one of only a handful of English managers to lift the European Cup, he deserves more spotlight than his understated personality ever sought. Born in Liverpool in 1921, he gave a club his whole life. To me, that loyalty and unflashy excellence is the real measure of greatness in the game.
