Robert Green

Robert Green will forever be linked to one painful World Cup moment, but reducing him to that does him a disservice. He made 241 appearances for Norwich, earned a PFA Team of the Year nod, and stood tall in the Premier League at 187 centimetres for over a decade. Goalkeeping is the loneliest job in football, where a single error can define a reputation. What strikes me is his resilience: he kept going, finished his career on his terms, and now reads the game sharply as a commentator. I respect men who refuse to be defined by their worst day.
