Will Grigg

I find Will Grigg genuinely endearing, because he represents the honest, unglamorous heart of football. A Solihull-born striker who plays for Northern Ireland, he broke through at Walsall, winning Player of the Season, and has kept grinding out goals down the divisions, currently at Chesterfield. I am drawn to players who are beloved in the lower leagues rather than the spotlight; there is something purer about it. His instinct for finding the net, paired with the famous fan chants that follow him, captures the communal joy of the game. He is grounded, durable, and exactly the sort of pro I root for.
