Tony Coleman to sell his 69 FA Cup Winners Medal

I haven't heard the interview, but he obviously hasn't met any Aussie Blues that is for sure! We love to give it to the Poms when they are over here, but it doesn't mean we hate them. Sad he feels that way about Australia and Australians.

I've transcribed it on the blog (link on the left), and will post a recording of it shortly.

Thanks for that Matt. Geez, strong words, bit disappointing really. Anyone who whereabouts in Australia he lived? Can understand a little where's coming from, but I don't honestly think this is true for most Aussies.

If you haven't heard it before, the "Blue Tuesday" show on BBC Radio Manchester with Paul Lake, Ian Cheeseman, and the delightful Emily Brobyn is an entertaining and informative look at current Manchester City issues. It's well worth the weekly listen.

Are you after a date Wheelsy?

The only thing I'd say to the Aussie contingent is that Tony Coleman has always had a reputation as being a pretty difficult character, as referred to in a piece from the now dormant purelymancity site on our hardest ever players (relevant text pasted in below, but link here if anyone wants the full article: http://www.purelymancity.com/index.php/features/so-who-was-citys-hardest-player-ever/.

Tony Coleman

When Malcolm Allison suggested signing the young winger in 1967, Joe Mercer’s reaction was less than enthusiastic: ‘Oh no, not Tony Coleman, no, no. I was at Lilleshall when he threw a bed out of the window. He did all sorts. No, Malcolm. No. He was in serious trouble with a referee’.

‘He had a crew-cut, seemed to have tattoo marks all over his arms, wore jeans and a T-shirt, and spoke with a Scouse accent you could almost cut with a knife,’ wrote Mike Doyle, who attended the same course at Lilleshall. Doyle believed the bed incident was a result of Coleman merely wanting ‘to inject some excitement into what he felt was becoming a repetitive sort of existence’.

But Coleman proved an inspired choice for City, despite his lack of goals (’I don’t like being kissed’, was his reasoning for not scoring that often). Even Mercer was to later regard him with something approaching affection.

“Tony Coleman? I was the only manager he didn’t hit,” he once remarked.

Er, no. There's a few things in the way.

Firstly, she's a bit old for me. Secondly, she has a boyfriend. Thirdly... oh yeah... she lives 10000 MILES AWAY!!!

She's rock solid though, she's looked after us in the past and she may just give us the chance to rebutt Coleman's comments in the future, which is good.
