My Take
What strikes me about Steve Perryman is the rarity of a one-club lifetime in modern football. Seventeen years at Tottenham, winning the FA Cup, League Cup, and UEFA Cup twice each, is the kind of loyalty the sport has all but forgotten. He was never the flashiest name, but I have a deep respect for the spine of a team, the defender-midfielder who simply turns up and wins things quietly. The MBE and his later move into coaching only confirm the impression: this is a man who gave himself entirely to the game. That, to me, is true greatness.
