Walshy on the Brian Little Years

[Clive Redman]

Steve Walsh talks about playing under Brian Little in the latest in a series of blogs about his former City managers...

"We had some good times together but we were up against it a lot and Brian didn’t have much money to spend. He brought in workers, not necessarily classy players, but effective ones and people that could do a job. We had a very workmanlike team until Julian Joachim came through and added that extra bit of class.

"I’d always said to David Pleat that he should get Julian involved more and when Brian came in he really gave him his chance. He was definitely the man that brought Joachy on."

good manager will always remember that day at wembley against d#rby

I played 80 minutes and even managed to hit the post. How I played I’ll never know because it turned out that I’d shattered the cartilage in four places. I did some stupid damage by carrying on and it all came from that final, but I wanted to play and that was it.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - what a nutjob... but what a ledge.

Great read.

Red cards also lead to my role as makeshift striker the previous season after I’d been sent off in the early part of the campaign against Wolves and Charlton. Before a game with Swindon, Brian said, “I’m going to put you out of the way so you can’t get f***ing booked!” He’d obviously seen me playing up front in training at close quarters and I went on a great run, scoring in 8 out of 9 games, so it was a stroke of genius from Brian.

I predicted Walsy would be up front for that game

The Carling stand was thanks to Brian Little
