Is Jack Colback the least glamorous footballer in the Premier League?

now there's a fucking name

always twinned him with sylvain legwinski in my head, but the latter was less good (although possibly even less glam)

colback is out of contract in the summer

going rate for an epl proven versatile midfielder/utility drone on a free transfer probably £50k a week at least?

steve sidwell got £50k a week from chelsea seven years ago when he signed on a free transfer during that brief period where they espoused parsimony and filled the squad with tat like him, pizarro and ben haim

also i'm captivated by felix magath's interviews at the moment, with his womblish demeanour, faultless politeness and surprisingly good english, he couldn't possibly appear less glam or risqué for a former golden era west germany attacking midfielder, ex-bundesliga winning manager and supposed dictatorial lunatic

he is verging on ASMR territory

(fwiw I've diced with ASMR Begovic as a display name but it doesn't quite work)

i have decided never to wiki who william kvist is

steed malbranque apparently named by his parents on account of looking like a very english baby & the avengers being the chief english cultural touchstone in belgium in the 70s, idk

yesterday I learned that Kvist has won Danish player of the year twice.

Russell Martin is now Norwich captain, with 70+ premier league games and 11 Scotland caps. I couldn't pick him out of a line-up.

Martin remarked before a game against Croatia in June 2013 that he was not recognised by Scottish taxi drivers transporting him for Scotland matches.[17]

I think the taxi driver test is a good benchmark - anonymous cab rides are never going to get Jim Whyte shouting about you on Transfer Deadline Day.

His solitary cap:

"Michael James Evans for Tony Cascarino (85 mins)"

Transfer fees at £600k then £750k then dwindling away to £0.

An entire career of hardly ever scoring and never scoring against anyone good with that one month featuring four goals (vs Forest, West Ham and Coventry) getting him the POTM award.

Ongoing shitness being put down to a previously undiagnosed "asthmatic-related complaint".

He attended St Boniface's Catholic College and played Junior football for Prince Rock Youth during his schools days.[citation needed] He is nicknamed "Trigger" after a character from Only Fools and Horses.

GISed russell martin and im fairly surely ive never seen him before

probably watched four of five norwich games in which he has played

hes probably in the top 10 central defenders in the world, misrecognised as a big rather than as a koscielny type nippy recovery cb

Gary Cahill @GaryJCahill · Apr 18

Great training session today, massive few weeks coming up - bring it on!#ComeOnYouBlues #CFC

thats p much as interesting as his social media presence gets

ordinary bloke doing a job

...which involves being a subtle & talented reader of play & a man with fairly high responsibility for a champions league win

It's his name, plus his really quite lengthy apprenticeship at decidedly unglamorous places like Villa and Bolton and Burnley. The idea of him ending up winning a Champions League medal and being a first team regular at Chelsea seemed entirely preposterous until the moment when it actually happened.

Full name Craig Dawson[1]

Prior to becoming a professional footballer, Dawson worked as a glass collector at his local pub, while playing for a local team called Rochdale St Clements.[2]

Euro 2016 beats everything - NI's Baird
Northern Ireland midfielder Chris Baird says playing in Euro 2016 "beats everything" in his 78-cap international career.

Meanwhile Krul’s friend Jack Colback has been informed he will be sent to train with the academy players if he does not agree a move away from St James’. Unwanted by Benitez the midfielder saw a loan move to Wolves break down last night. Colback wants to stay in the north east and has been offered to Sunderland, his old club and Middlesbrough. Sunderland have said they do not want him, Middlesbrough appear lukewarm. Hull would like him on loan but Colback would prefer to stay closer to home.

ah well then fuck him
