New ex-players (and managers) thread

[Jeff]

Nice write up of MON's new book. Some interesting and funny anecdotes, I guess the really good story about Savage will have to wait for people who buy the book though

Martin O’Neill: ‘I deserved criticism. But it was an absolute outpouring’

The manager reflects with Ewan Murray on his time under Brian Clough, working with Roy Keane and the ‘brutally brilliant’ Old Firm rivalry

88p if you buy it from Waterstones. I think Amazon is slightly more than that.

I don't usually read autobiographies, especially football ones... But I do think MON's could be really interesting and a good read.

Will wait to see some reviews, so if anyone gets it would love to hear opinions on it Especially how big a part of it his time here is.

He was here 5 years so I would expect there’s at least a page or two. Most of it will, of course, be about trying to ring Robbie Savage at his mam and dad’s house only to find he wasn’t there.

Where was he?

Where was he?

At his nan’s house! The lad is crackers.

Hang on a sec, if he was there he must have missed MON’s call and never spoken to him about moving to Leicester?!

Well, there’s the twist — he rang back! So everything turned out okay.

****. OFF.

You’re shitting me, that’s nuts.

Honestly, it sounds made up but Sav himself swears blind it’s absolutely accurate. I can’t wait to hear the other side of this one.

So you're telling me that Sav missed a call from O'Neill because he was at his nan's?

Was he hoping to get picked?

Good little player for us, a bit of quality and fight during an absolutely shit period in our recent history.

Surely Canada aren’t so short of bodies that a man who hasn’t played in 3 years was ever in contention?

 

[Robin127]

Canada are pretty decent, I watched several of their qualifying matches, they've got a couple of very good players and are coached very well.
