Joe Royle - has he been acknowledged enough?

[Spurs quarter 69]

I thought he was great as a player

Would recommend his performance in the 3 1 win against Liverpool in the October of 77.at MR. Crowd on fire" your the shit of Merseyside" and Joe had a worldy.

Joe Royle - Old school. Good bloke. Good player, good manager. Ran the circus well.

Kids nowadays could never understand or appreciate what he brought to the table in those years.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

The right man at the wrong time.

What could've been if he'd come when first approached.

Very important part of our lengthy climb back from our 'enjoyable' tour of the second and third divisions.

 

[Revolver]

25th anniversary jogs the memory.

We were bloody awful when Joe Royle joined us. All we knew was failure and to be mocked. If we had got the wrong manager in 1998 god know where we would be now. Not with Pep as manager I would guess.

You could think well he got us relegated from the premier league but it was the journey back there that made the modern City so unique.

He is one of our best managers.
