My Take
Steve Nicol embodies a kind of footballer I deeply admire: the intelligent utility man who makes a great team function. At Liverpool through the 1980s he slotted across the back line and midfield without ego, and at 178 cm he won with reading and tempo rather than physical dominance. Earning regular Scotland caps and a 1986 World Cup appearance underlines how trusted he was. His later move into coaching feels like a natural continuation of that tactical brain. I'll always take the dependable craftsman over the flashy individualist, and he's a fine example.
