My Take
Nathan Baker is exactly the kind of defender I appreciate most. A towering centre-back out of Worcester who came through the Aston Villa academy, sharpened his craft on loan at Lincoln and Millwall, and anchored Bristol City, he built a career on the unglamorous art of stopping forwards rather than scoring goals. His England youth caps tell me he was marked as a serious talent early. Defenders like him rarely get the headlines, but they are the spine that lets flashier teammates shine. I have real respect for that kind of selfless, do-the-dirty-work professionalism.
