No - he was a youngster at Newcastle, but they released him and he went to Carlisle. Man U signed him from Carlisle, but he only played 1 game for them before going back to Newcastle.
Graham Kavanagh sacked by Carlisle and Colchester United manager Joe Dunne leaves by mutual consent. Time for the roundabout to turn.
It's nice to see some English players going abroad again (Micah Richards has just signed loan deal with Firoentina). If they cannot get first team Premier League football then it's got to be a decent education to play in Serie A, the Bundesliga or primera liga and all the better for the national team..
I would call it a 'typical' England match of late, when playing a team intent on defending. Plenty of possession, a few nice moves but ultimately very little in the way of clear cut chances.
I looks like I chose the better England match to watch - the women's T20 against South Africa. A spectacular collapse by SA from 71-2 to 99 all out.
I wonder when the last time a World Cup winning manager claimed one of our players was a danger man for his side! http://hereisthecity.com/en-gb/2014...ch-united-everton-and-watford-stars-are-dan/?
I wonder when the last time a World Cup winning manager claimed to have heard of one of our players - at least until vey recently.
Maybe it's an age thing, but, apart from Alf Ramsey, I'd be hard pressed to actually name a World Cup winning manager...
