Andre-Villas Boas is taking over at Shanghai SIPG, replacing the departing Sven-Goran Eriksson.
He's reunited with Hulk, who he's managed at Porto and Zenit St. Petersburg, though the rest of the squad are basically nobodies.
Why's he taken that job, you may ask? £11m a season is why. Bloody hell.
 
I suggested it to him once and got my head bitten off. So sadly not. He is actually Barry Daines.
One of the unluckiest of our number. Being number 2 to the worlds best, who was also never seemingly injured!! Dainsey was a very decent keeper whenever called upon! :emoticon-0148-yes:
 
When Pat was let go to Arsenal I felt I'd lost a brother.Couldn't believe it.Did that have something to do with Terry Neill,I wonder?
 
My apologies OS for forgetting the post-Pat season! I try and put that decision and the aftermath out of my Spurs memory bank - I just got too angry at the time.
 
Just watched Gerry Taggert (ex Bolton and Leicester etc) discussing his career. Fascinating insight on a journeyman pros view of what constituted a great player in his eyes: basically anyone that was willing to mix it and put the occasional elbow in!!! :emoticon-0181-fubar

However, he also named Chris Fairclough in his best team. Had quite forgotten he had a spell with Spurs and was a really classy CB. Wasn't he another plagued by injuries?
 
Yes I was.

If you are Dainesy, you'll be able to answer this:

Just how big were Mark Kendall's tracksuit trousers?

I remember him coming out for a pre-season game at Brisbane Road and he was the size of a house. Not a 2 up, 2 down terrace property. We're talking a detached house with at least 4 bathrooms and a sizeable kitchen extension.

Oh and thanks. You were great in 77-78
