He's just so recognisable in every way. The name, the diminutive stature, the composure, the decisiveness, the ability to do things nobody on the pitch would dare, the range of passing... the list goes on.
Also echo what a lovely bloke he seems like, and how he looks at that Roma move in retrospect shows a lot of perspective. The stuff with Le Bris and how they are so intertwined since he was young is very touching and shows how loyal he is. Hopefully that relationship with us pushes him on.
Whatever happens to us and whether we beat the odds, I think we should appreciate the chance to watch him, because as that Times article from before the final said, you could argue we haven't had a player like him in most of our lifetimes.
