Shaun Maloney

Shaun Maloney has one of those biographies that surprises you on the first line, born in Miri, Sarawak, in Malaysia in 1983, yet he became a Scotland international. As a player he turned out for Celtic, Aston Villa, Wigan Athletic, Hull City and Chicago Fire, an attacking midfielder or winger whose game I imagine relied on guile more than size at 171 cm. What I find telling is that he didn't drift away from football after retiring; he moved into coaching and management. That instinct to stay in the game and teach it usually points to someone who reads the sport more deeply than most.

Shaun Richard Maloney (born 24 January 1983) is a football coach, and former player who is currently interim assistant manager at Scottish Premiership side Celtic. Maloney played for Celtic, Aston Villa, Wigan Athletic, Chicago Fire, Hull City and the Scotland national team as an attacking midfielder or winger.
