My Take
Phil Bardsley is exactly the kind of footballer I root for. Five years at Manchester United yielded only 18 appearances and a string of loans to Antwerp, Burnley, Rangers, Aston Villa and Sheffield United, yet he kept grinding rather than fading away. Full-backs do the unglamorous, bruising work that scorers get credit for, and earning a Scotland cap proves he refused to quit when chances were thin. I have a soft spot for the journeyman who out-works his luck. There is more honest character in a career like his than in many flashier ones, and I find that genuinely admirable.
