My Take
Steve Staunton commands my respect as a Drogheda man who served two separate spells each at Aston Villa and Liverpool, no small feat for a defender surviving the Premier League grind for years. The detail that he also played Gaelic football grounds him for me in the Irish soil he came from. After hanging up his boots he managed the Republic of Ireland, a role that carries crushing expectation, and I refuse to reduce his career to results alone. Building something as a player and then shouldering the weight of management asks for two different kinds of courage, and he gave both. A man made for the green shirt.
