My Take
Kris Boyd is my kind of striker: unglamorous, ruthless, and almost embarrassingly effective. Becoming the all-time top scorer in Scottish top-flight history with 167 goals is not luck, it is years of being in exactly the right place at exactly the right moment. He was never the flashiest player on the pitch, but the goal column never lied. I rather enjoy his second act as an outspoken Sky Sports pundit, too, because that bluntness clearly comes from a man who knows what scoring under pressure actually feels like. Quiet feet, loud numbers. I respect that.
