What an achievement bringing Martin O'Neill out of retirement. Couldn't get as a manager but delighted he joins our midfield next season.
Whoops! I'd quite fancy Martin in our midfield next season but I guess I'd better change it to Gary...
There must be some from the past as well. Wasn't Alan Devonshire a sturdy yeoman farmer who led the singing at the county fair. And of course Hardy wrote a novel about West Ham's greatest ever manager - Under the Ron Greenwood Tree.
Robert Green sounds like a country Vicar to me...
