admirers

Coote's alleged insults about Liverpool and Klopp – who even his biggest admirers would admit was confrontational from his technical area – allow sceptics to challenge that principle of integrity.

Brentford are among the admirers of Greece and Celta Vigo striker Anastasios Douvikas, 25.

It wasn't until his time at Coventry City, where he spent two years, helping them to the Championship play-off final which turned out to be his final match, that admirers circled.

I love seeing someone work so hard but I think the other reason he has so many admirers is that he is not a whinger, a diver or a cheater, when a lot of modern-day forward players are.

He was deeply inspired by the techniques used by Western painters but his work remained rooted in Asian philosophy, infusing light and texture in ways that, admirers say, evokes a profound sense of calmness.
