Joe Hart

Joe Hart embodies a kind of footballing romance I find easy to root for. Born in Shrewsbury, he started and effectively closed the loop at his hometown club, which is the sort of full-circle story that fans cherish. At 196 cm he became England's first-choice goalkeeper, a position I consider the cruelest on the pitch, where ninety minutes of excellence can be erased by one error. That he sustained that pressure for years, after apparently also playing cricket, speaks to rare nerve and athleticism. Now coaching the next generation, he carries the calm of a man who knows exactly how exposed the spotlight can be.
