Just finished reading Paul Stewart's book - very harrowing reading (I thought Whitey's book was harrowing but this was beyond that.....) however, two stories within the book made me laugh and realise what a comedy club we were in the mid - late 80's....
When signing for City.....
''In that first meeting I was introduced to Freddie Pye, a scrap metal merchant, who was director, the coach Jimmy Frizzell - and the coach driver whose name was Derek. I remember thinking ''What the fuck is the coach driver doing here?'' (I learned that he would sit on the bench, and got so involved in team affairs that he was invited to contract talks. He was into everything)
At Spurs and the bright lights of London
''One night we met Elton John, George Michael, the singers Pepsi and Shirley and Petula Clark. Another night Rod Stewart and his then wife Rachel Hunter were there. When I was at Manchester City, you were more likely to bump into Little & Large....''
