My Take
Sol Campbell is the kind of defender I deeply respect. Born in East London to Jamaican parents and rising through Tottenham before a 20-year Premier League career and 11 years with England, he embodied the quiet, physical, uncompromising centre-back. At 188 cm he was a wall, and there is something I admire about players who let their durability do the talking rather than chasing headlines. He kept most of his private life off the record, which only adds to the impression of a serious professional. Now passing his knowledge on as a coach, he strikes me as a genuine craftsman of the game.
