Lee Cattermole

What I find compelling about Lee Cattermole is how completely he embodied a vanishing kind of footballer. A Stockton-on-Tees lad who came through Middlesbrough's academy, he made his name as a snarling, tackle-everything central midfielder, the disciplinary record almost a badge of his refusal to coast. I have a soft spot for players whose value never shows up neatly in highlight reels but who hold a team together through sheer combat. That he has moved into management at Gateshead feels exactly right to me. The same stubborn, unglamorous commitment that defined his playing days should make him a manager worth watching closely.
