		In seven years, using nothing but his own passion for the game and his philosophies on what it takes to be a footballer, he’s taken an ailing football club by the scruff of the neck and transformed the entire business into a model of everything a football club should be.
		With English football as loaded with superstars as it’s ever likely to be, the fact that one player has dominated for two seasons (and who knows how many more) should make anyone accept that there’s a very, very special player amongst us.
