On the one hand, he does seem to have been rather a decent sort of a chap and I suppose that at the end of the day that's more important than his odd conviction that Geoff Thomas was an international-standard footballer.Quote:

I can only assume that, now GT has passed, Phil is still faithfully mimicking his every move and is now lying very still in a wooden box.Quote:

Had his managerial flaws but a top man.

I deliberately didn't draw that parallel for fear of who it might get started, a! :-(Quote:
