Replace Brendan with him now. 

I’ve often thought that he has all the attributes to go into management.

 

Shame it’s such a rarity for keepers to go on to be top-tier managers.

Luke is 17 now goes to as many games with his Grandad as he can, he is an apprentice plumber and my pride and joy, we still have 6 monthly check ups but so far he has been in remission for 4 years. Kasper keeps in contact with him on instabook and they hope to get him a job on the clubs Estates team once he is qualified. That 3 year battle Luke had even showed an old timer like me that it’s important to make happy memories when you can as they are what help blot out the tough days

Truly brilliant to read this, thank you for letting us know how Luke’s getting on.

Screaming and shouting at staff such as laundry girls. Moaning about inane crap around the training ground. Occasionally demeaning to youth players. 
 

I got told he’s changed a lot from what he was once. 

I have been a c*** in the past, im

sure many of us have been. Doesn’t mean we are now or don’t change. Good on him for changing positively 

[Wymsey]

He has, literally, experienced everything in football and normal life.

From relegation to beig a Premier League winner, to being one of the first people to go to the tragic helicopter incident..

One of my mates trained with him at Leicester for a little bit and didn't have a good word to say about him. Told me he was incredibly arrogant. 

 

But this was 10 years ago and people can change and grow.

Only son of a rich and famous dad, what chance did he stand?

Met this young man at the Royal when my grandson had a rare blood cancer, Kasper came to do the Christmas visit and sat with Luke all afternoon, luke was 11 and a goalie as well, about middle of the following January Luke was on the ward and having a horrible time with treatment and out of the blue one afternoon in walked Kasper in greens and mask as Luke was in isolation, he spent two hours looking at videos on an iPad with Luke and talking about shot stopping, he gave Luke hope, he gave him dreams again, my daughter (Luke’s mum) was in tears seeing them together as she knew Luke was in a huge battle to survive but Kasper was so calm he took Dawn for a coffee and gave her his personal number and said anything that was needed he would try help, the club sent loads of stuff for Luke and Khun Top arranged for a squad video to be made, Kasper walked with my family through the pains of a child being sick, don’t ever think footballers don’t care ! They do and this one is a special man, if you read this Kasper, Love always Dan 

Such a wonderful read. I hope Luke goes on to make a full recovery and is able to pass this story onto his kids too. Inspiring 🙏🏼

Well done.    But only one of those was really famous.   The late, great Jock Wallace.

Peter Shilton - though not really famous for his management skills. If I remember correctly he took Plymouth down in his spell in charge

Hows he getting away without amy criticism?

 

ball landed in the six yard box and he's pushing his own defender.

 

Absolute fanny and a large reason why we're shit at corners.
