My Take
Michael Dawson is exactly the kind of player pundits undervalue and managers quietly cherish. A 6-foot-2 centre back from Northallerton, he learned the trade beside Des Walker at Nottingham Forest before his £8 million move to Tottenham, where he lifted the 2008 League Cup. Defenders rarely get the headlines forwards do, but the loyalty and physical commitment a good centre back brings is the spine of any team. I respect that he became a sports pundit afterward, because the best defenders are essentially readers of the game in real time. That analytical instinct doesn't retire when the boots come off.
