Best Memory
Nine years to this day (September 11th) I was caretaker manager against Blackburn and we won 3-0. They’d just fired Sir Bob and Graeme Souness was coming in but he wasn’t allowed to take part in the game so I took control of the game and it was, so far in football, probably my proudest and most memorable day.
Memories before he joined the club
Well, it’s really strange because, as a fourteen year old school boy I actually signed for the club as a school boy so from the age of fourteen to twenty I spent most of my youth here before I left to go to Cardiff and came back as a coach because I had to finish through injury so I came back as a coach at 28 so I’ve spent most of my time, really at this football club. I mean I have had stints in America, in the MLS with the Canadian team Toronto, I’ve been at Leeds United, I’ve been with Gary Speed when he was manager at Sheffield United so I’ve been around but most of my time has been spent at this Football club.
