My Take

Stephen Darby's story appeals to the romantic in me. A Liverpool-born right-back who came up through Liverpool's youth ranks, lifted the FA Youth Cup in 2006 and earned senior minutes from 2008 to 2012, he also represented England at under-19 level. The full-back is one of football's most thankless roles, asked to defend and attack in equal measure while rarely getting credit for either. At 185 cm and built for the lung-busting grind of the flank, Darby embodies that honest, do-it-all professional. I have real affection for hometown players who graft their way up, and his looks like a career of quiet integrity.
