Leon Clarke

Leon Clarke is exactly the kind of footballer I find quietly heroic. A 6 ft 2 in striker from Birmingham who came up at Wolves and then turned out for some twenty-three clubs across loans and permanent moves, he embodies the journeyman's grind. Plenty would read that itinerant career as instability, but I read it the other way: clubs kept calling because he kept scoring. Survival at that level for so many years takes resilience most fans never see.
