gnasher16 30,470 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 As a fan of football you have to visit the iconic sights in the game.....and keep taking pictures of the same things over and over again Legend is a much over used word these days.....but in this case how else could you describe him. 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

socks 32,253 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 I can't se how a football manager can be a hero ??? What heroic deeds did he carry out as a football manager ??? ...... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oneredtrim 148 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) Yeah the England Manager that never was. The FA fooked up there Them Southerners were never going to give a Outspoken Northerner the job He did get a subliminal trail Max...when in the last two for the job with greenwood (mcmenemy having already been ruled out), he was asked to look after/over a young english side playing in a tournament in japan on an early astro-related turf, unfortunately for him somebody stuck a mic under his beak and he said...'for a nation that can put a tv in my wristwatch, it's suprising you cant grow a bit of bleedin turf, if god would have waanted to play football in the heavens he'd have turfed the clouds' (a metaphor relating to the sky-high bounce the false turf provided)...Greenwood got the walk-thru.

King. 215 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 I can't se how a football manager can be a hero ??? What heroic deeds did he carry out as a football manager ??? ...... +1 all football managers do is tell a few lads how to kick a football. A paramedic is more of a hero in a day than a football manager is in a lifetime. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

johnny boy68 11,726 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Football managers are not heroes per se but they do get treated like heroes, that's more to do with people worshipping them than them doing anything heroic. Though they're not heroes in the true sense, Shankly was a legend though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
