Sylvinho

What I admire about Sylvinho is the quiet dignity of a true full-back. He was never the headline star, but his overlapping runs down the left at Corinthians and Arsenal showed a player who understood the unglamorous craft of his position. The fact that Gooners remember him so fondly tells me more about his character than any trophy could. His move into coaching feels natural, almost inevitable, for someone whose love of the game clearly never cooled. I find players like him underrated by history but treasured by those who actually watched them play.
