My work have hired him as guest speaker at our conference next week. Heard great things from his time with NUFC and Falcons, anyone been to one of his talks before?

No but I removed him from my Twitter feed as his patter was shocking.

Well if anyone is interested we had a couple of hours with the big man yesterday. Spoke a lot of sense, went on a bit and seemed a bit pissed but on the whole was good.

 

Told a few stories, said Keegan was a terrible coach and we'd have won the league if he hadn't got sucked in to the media and it stopped the team enjoying themselves.

 

Said Andy Cole was sold as his attitude was appalling. We'd lose 3-2 but if Cole had scored both he'd be buzzing in the dressing room afterwards. Said KK saw Ferdinand as a much better character for the dressing room.

 

Spoke a lot about rugby too, his time with the Lions in particular.

 

Good craic really, our MD gave him a bottle of champagne as a thank you, to which his response was 'thanks a lot I'm off to share this with Gazza'

Also when Sir Bobby suggested bringing Mourinho in as his assistant, Freddy Shepherd and Douglas Hall 'were pissing themselves' saying he'd totally lost the plot if he thinks an interpreter could be the next manager of NUFC....!
