Garry Cook interview in The Athletic

[Dazzle84]

Cheers, mate. Taking a closer look at it brings another question to mind: do they devote a large proportion to U.S. sports, and North American sports generally? Because I can't say I have any real interest in any of them.

They have that section but I don't follow that, so all football for me

Really insightful. Mancini sounds a right character. The thought of him coming down in his silk pyjamas for breakfast at Cook‘s... hahaha

Stood there asking Garry for a hairdryer for his hair

Very insightful read, the work he put into City we are still reaping the benefits from.

I absolutely loved that interview. Seemed to be the right guy to have for that time. Mancini sounds hilarious and you had to laugh at him and his team drinking the wine sent back by Hughes. I bet that ain’t the first time that’s happened in the football world!
PS for those wondering if The Athletic is worth it, it definitely is!

Salesmen always have the best tales.

I loved Garry and i loved Mancini,would have both back in a heartbeat.

The football/results wouldn’t have been as good but those two completely understood what City is about.

Never in a million years would Pep have dished it out to Bacon chops like Mancini did in the Derby. Pep would have made him a brew then told the media post-match how wonderful United are instead.

Gary came to a BM Christmas party at the ground one year with his rather lovely P.A. She got a lot of attention, especially from a lot of drunk bald middle aged men. He seemed quite a nice bloke.

Had his faults but definitely deserves a place in our history books in helping selling the club to Sheikh Mansour.

The Cook and Benjani exclusives the last couple of days have been brilliant

And a smoking jacket.
