Jonathan Greening

Jonathan Greening's career reads like a perfect circle, and that is exactly why it draws me in. From breaking through at York City in 1996 to being part of Manchester United's 1998-99 Champions League-winning squad, he touched the very summit of the game, even if only from the bench in that final. What moves me is the return journey: today he manages Scarborough Athletic, the club of his Yorkshire hometown. A man who saw the top coming home to nurture the grassroots feels deeply right to me. Football, at its best, is about coming back to where you started.
