Paul Ince

I have a soft spot for midfielders who do the unglamorous running, and Paul Ince was exactly that kind of warrior. Born in Ilford, he came up at West Ham before commanding the engine room at Manchester United, Liverpool, and even Inter Milan in Italy. What strikes me is his blend of ferocity and range; he tackled, broke up play, and still pushed forward, the kind of leader teams are built around. That he moved into management after retiring tells me his competitive drive never switched off. Holding his own across Europe at just 178 cm took real grit, and I genuinely admire him for it.
