Good Dave Jones interview

[atrottel]

Interview with Dave Jones in the Independent, mostly to do with his book:
Dave Jones: 'I feel cheated out of my job as a Premier League manager' - News & Comment, Football - The Independent

Interesting tidbit I'd never heard though:

As a 16-year-old himself, Jones was told by the Everton coaches that he was being released. That was on a Thursday. On the Saturday, the manager, Harry Catterick, was sacked, along with all his coaching staff. So Jones decided to turn up for training the following Tuesday, hoping that nobody would know he shouldn't be there. Nobody did, and at 17 he made his first-team debut.

That's well funny.

When Southampton visited Old Trafford shortly after the charges had been made public, Ferguson told him he wanted to walk out of the tunnel "shoulder to shoulder" with him, as a gesture of solidarity. The Manchester United fans echoed their support. Then the match started, Southampton clawing a 3-3 draw. At the final whistle, the United manager put his arm round Jones' shoulder. "You can f**king well walk back to the dressing room on your own,"

Fergie, sometimes you have to love the guy.

He does come out with some chuckles.

Always found it funny when his assistant manager burst that balloon in the dug out and Fergie shites himself then turns round to him and goes "You ****** prick!" lol

That still cracks me up.

Dave Jones was my boyhood hero, and lived down the road from me.
A friend of mine actually bought his house. We used to play footy on the near by field, and often Davey would have a few kicks when he walked past.

Top guy

Have a lot of time for Dave Jones. Would like to see him have another crack a the Prem.
