My Take
Terry Yorath strikes me as the embodiment of unglamorous Welsh grit. Born in Cardiff, he grinded through Leeds United, Coventry, Tottenham and even Vancouver as a player, then turned manager and led the Welsh national side. Doing both jobs at international level is rare, and it speaks to a footballing intelligence that outlasted his legs. He passed away in 2026, but a life spent serving his country's shirt does not fade. I have always had a weakness for these no-frills professionals who build careers on substance rather than spectacle. He was the kind of football lifer the game needs more of.
