Just read on bbc sport that the head coach of our 8-13 year old academy team has left to become assistant manager to Roy Keane at Sunderland. Strange choice...?

As an academy coach must have had a hand in producing some of our young guns, but presume he must know Keane as it is quite a promotion.

Tony played for Leicester United and was signed by Brian Clough for Forest along with Neil Lyne.
That could be where I saw him then, I used to someties watch Leicester Utd.
If I remember correctly wasn't the transfer of Lyne and Loughlan one of the ones investigated when Clough was accused of taking bungs?

To answer my own question, yes it was..
"The 'bungs' inquiry concluded that Fenton benefited financially from the transfers of Anthony Loughlan and Neil Lyne from Leicester United in 1989"

I can remember all sorts of useless trivia from 20 years ago, particularly football and music stuff. But I forget stuff from last week. Must be my age.

I trained with and then later played against Leicester United. I also played alongside Neil Lyne at another club.

Tony was very good friends with Roy Keane at Forest, he was Godather to Roy Keanes kids and Keane was Godfather to Tonys kids. Tony is a fantastic bloke and a great coach who will be a major success in the coming seasons. This is the next step on the ladder to the top for Tony.
