My Take
Troy Deeney is the embodiment of a self-made footballer, and that is precisely why I respect him. Starting at Chelmsley Town and clawing up through Walsall, he built a career on grit rather than pedigree, the kind of journey that produces a player who knows the value of every yard. At 183 cm he was always a physical, combative striker, and now he has carried that fighter's mentality into punditry and management. I am drawn to careers earned the hard way far more than to anointed prodigies. Deeney strikes me as a natural leader, the dressing-room captain who drags a team forward by sheer will.
