My Take

Thomas has the underdog arc I can never resist. Released by West Ham's academy at 16 and dropping all the way to non-league Boreham Wood, he could easily have faded, yet he clawed his way to Huddersfield, then on to the Championship and the Wales national team as a winger. That kind of detour usually breaks young players; instead it seems to have hardened him. I find more to admire in a footballer who was once told no and kept running than in someone handed an easy ascent. He still has plenty of career ahead, and I'll happily follow where this grafter's story goes.

Overview
