My Take
Brady is one of those footballers I admire more the longer I look at him. Winning the FA Cup with Arsenal and then back-to-back Serie A titles with Juventus, all on the strength of a cultured left foot and a brilliant footballing brain, is a rare kind of career. He was never the biggest man on the pitch, yet he ran games through vision and passing rather than power. Seventy-two caps for Ireland and an English Football Hall of Fame place feel entirely earned. For me, he embodies the craftsman playmaker, the type whose intelligence ages far better than raw athleticism ever could.
