My Take
Tony Cottee is my kind of footballer. At 170 cm he was never the towering target man, yet he scored across nearly two decades in England's top flight for West Ham, Everton and Leicester. That tells me he hunted goals with instinct rather than physique, a poacher who lived on anticipation. What I find even better is his second act: coaching, then commentary. He has experienced the game as player, manager and analyst, and that complete view is exactly why his punditry carries weight. I always trust insight from someone who has actually felt the pressure of the penalty box, and Cottee clearly has.
