Patrick Bamford

Bamford interests me as a study in resilience. A Nottingham High School kid who broke through at Forest, got snapped up by Chelsea, then spent years bouncing through loans before settling into his role as a forward. The striker's job is the cruelest in football, judged purely on goals, and he chose it anyway. What I value isn't any single tally but the refusal to wilt under that scrutiny. At Sheffield United he plays the unglamorous, hard-running role that keeps a side honest. Goals are the metric, but effort is the character, and Bamford has never looked short on the latter.
