I’m not sure if fans are doing him a disservice here or not.
Trying to sum him up in just one word seems rather strange, and to a lesser extent, somewhat restrictive as well, but fans gave it their best go, and we should applaud them for it.
That was the challenge that @Blades1889_com set Sheffield United fans the other day on Twitter when they asked fans to describe Blades defender Phil Jagielka in one word.
Jagielka, a product of the Blades academy system is currently in his second spell at the club, having originally left the club in 2007, before returning to the club last summer as a free agent. Having racked up nearly 650 league appearances and 40 England caps, it’s not as if fans are short of content when it comes to the 37-year-old’s career, and as a result there were plenty of responses to the question at hand.

What about you? How would you describe Jagielka in one word?
