My Take

Stan Collymore is, to me, one of the most compelling what-if figures of 1990s English football. A towering striker, he commanded a British-record £8.5 million move from Nottingham Forest to Liverpool in 1995, a price tag that was itself a verdict on his raw talent. What interests me now is his second act as a pundit and football strategist at Southend United, where his sharp, fearless commentary actually carries weight. Having lived through both the brilliance and the turbulence of a public career, he speaks about the game with a hard-earned credibility few ex-players can match. Light and shadow made him worth listening to.
