SHAKESPEARE INFLUENCE

Craig is a calm, stabilising influence around the place. He was number two under Nigel Pearson when they came in (in 2008) and steadied the club after relegation to League One and helped mastermind promotion back up to the Championship. Then he returned with Pearson for a second spell in 2011 and there was another promotion, this time to the Premier League.
