David Phillips

[Lavinda Past]

Man, what a sad story, I'm sorry, it shows what different matches mean to different people, it makes my school complaint very trivial now :(

Not a problem Alf. It's nearly 40 years ago, so I'm pretty much over it now...
(I mean the defeat by the mighty Carlisle)

It was a crazy transfer, but it appears if Billy McNeill wanted to do something then it would happen no matter what.

Tony book often comes across as fairly brutal and harsh in a lot of interviews

Skip came from an army background and certainly with the youth teams he brought through he was a strict disciplinarian.
Lakey talks about it in his book as I do in Teenage Kicks.
A lot of the players (looking back) say it was the making of them, for some it was the breaking of them...... Chris Coleman being I good example. Played a few A team games and one reserve game aged 16 having left school summer of 86 and looked promising. But Skip's style was not for him and he was allowed to leave after 3 months, returning to his home town club Swansea.

He should have played for Germany instead of Wales.

£65,000 from Plymouth… always reminds me of the 5-1 Charlton promotion game and Barry Davies.
