My Take
Tom Huddlestone is the kind of footballer I have a soft spot for: a tall, composed defensive midfielder who dictated play rather than chased headlines. Coming up through Nottingham Forest and Derby County before turning pro in 2003, he built a long English career on reading the game and spraying passes. What I like most is the second act. Moving into coaching, now an assistant at Birmingham City, shows he wants to pass on the craft, not just retire on memories. At 188 cm he had the frame, but it was his calm on the ball that made him useful for so long.
