My abiding memory of him has to be his running onto the field at the start of the 2hf in that epic UCL game at the Etihad…
Staring down Diego Costa.

I recall a lot of people mocking him for it at the time, calling him a fake tough guy. That felt very uncharitable to me even then, even before knowing what he would lead this club to and with what attitude.

I absolutely fucking loved that. Costa clearly shat himself.
