My Take
Magennis is my favorite kind of footballer, the one with an unorthodox path. A towering 188 cm striker from Bangor in Northern Ireland, he spent his youth as a goalkeeper before switching to the complete opposite end of the pitch in 2008, a gutsy reinvention that few players would dare. That he went on to earn full international caps shows the gamble paid off. I am drawn to players who lead with physical commitment and grit rather than polish, and there is something easy to root for in a big man who simply throws himself at the game.
