They had a famous FA Cup run in the early 1990s, eventually being knocked out by Crewe 3-1 in the 3rd round. Roly Howard was manager for a record 33 years (1972-2005), although he will always be remembered by some fans as Kenny Dalglish's window cleaner. TV presenter Ray Stubbs once asked: "How's business, Roly?" to which Roly replied "Oh you know - ups and downs."
Former players include Michael Ball (Everton and Rangers) and Stephen Wright (Liverpool and Sunderland). The club motto is 'To Enjoy, Not Destroy.'
GARY Lineker's long face was niggling away, so I 'googled' to find out what his problem was.
It seems the FA are punishing Gaz and Co (Alan Hansen and Alan Shearer) for telling it like it is with regard to England's poor performances of late.
Wouldn't they be better served looking for a replacement manager? Someone who DOES believe Jamie Carragher and John Terry could help us win a World Cup? Or am I alone in thinking Steve McClaren is tactically average, woefully uninspiring and insufficiently qualified for the job?
At the moment we're bang on track to come third (and therefore not qualify) in our Euro group behind Croatia and Russia. The Israelis could also pose a threat. Bring back Beckham!!!!
Do I have any suggestions for an England manager? To be honest, apart from Alex Ferguson (and that's a wee bit unlikely), none.
