Just had a quick check and it wouldn’t be all that inaccurate to be fair, seems a pretty even split in his career between seasons in the top 2 and bottom 2 divisions, edging more toward the lower leagues.
8 in the bottom 2 leagues of England and 7 from the top 2 leagues from a quick count, but may have missed one somewhere. But he looks to have played maybe more games in the top 2 divisions, by about 80 at a guess.
15 seasons as a pro
5 seasons in League 2
3 seasons in League 1
3 seasons in the Championship
4 seasons in the Premier League
(1 season in Scotland)
Some seasons he’s technically been in the Championship like 09/10 season (10 games) but quickly dropped to the league below and played more in league 1 that season (29). So on that one I have counted the season as a league 1 season due to the bulk of the games being played there.
So in short, don’t know what he would be described as. A journeyman defender maybe? [Post edited 4 Jan 2023 12:02]

Are you blaming your machine??
I often do the same but deep down I know it’s all about the little buttons on my phone and fat fingers on my hands 😉 |  | | |

So a gradual rise from the start of his career to the premier league then ? |  |

Well it was only a small fraction of his career as a Premier League player so doesn’t feel like an accurate way to describe his career as a whole, no.
So in short, your sentence is accurate in terms of how he got to play in the Premier League, but it’s not a sentence representative of his overall career. | |

When was he diagnosed with colitis (I think)?, this would have affected his development and progress as a player I would have thought. I can’t imagine many teams in the top two divisions taking a punt on a player with a debilitating disease until they know it’s being controlled.
I may be wrong though | | | |

No idea, just commenting on what divisions he played in rather than making any conclusions as to why.
Makes no difference to me.
Gary Neville won Champions Leagues and Premier Leagues and he appears to be an awful manager. | |

What is the significance if he was a lower league player?
There's a guy managing in the Prem who only played Welsh league football!
Brendon only played non league as far as I'm aware. |  | | |

Mourinho was a lower league player, plenty of good managers have had poor footballing careers and plenty of awful ones have had outstanding careers as footballers.
I would say the ability to manage and ability to play is extremely far apart. It’s closer linked to coaching than managing. | |
