Football can be a cold game. Been there, seen it, done it. Be it players, managers, clubs, or supporters, sport moves on fast in today’s world, seemingly dominated by instant gratification and obsession with the next best thing.

Some players manage to etch themselves into the hearts and minds of fans forever for their dazzling displays of ability and passion on the pitch, with some kind-hearted souls doing their best for clubs off the field too. Think along the lines of Alexei Eremenko or Tommy Burns.
