Probably our best manager since Sir Alf. Probably as good. Also a very good player in his own right for Chelsea and Tottenham. His talents also stretched to being a decent singer and.not abad thespian in "HZel

Met his mum and dad outside the " Mariner's Arms" on the Highway in Shadwell very approachable couple ,mother was a comedian. Think his.family came from the East End but he was born and brought up In " Corned Beef Island") , Dagenham to you.

How did it get the name "Corned Beef Island", Obes?

Co written with Gordon Williams.
They also wrote the book " They used to play on grass". A futuristic novel about plastic pitches. I've read it and it's quite good.

How did it get the name "Corned Beef Island", Obes?

From what I’ve heard it’s because most of the houses were built with red bricks that looked like tins of corned beef and it was city not island obes rip el tel wish he was the manager now and not the gonk think we might have finally win something with him in charge

Apparently it got that name when the overflow slum clearance estates were built in Dagenham and Becontree prior to the War they did'nt have many shops so it was reckoned they existed on Corned Beef.

Top bloke. RIP.

Got to see the gonk letting England down with a penalty my Nan could have hit harder.

 

[BigPaul]

Should have stayed as England boss a lot longer than 2 years, imagine what he could have done with Beckham, Scholes etc.
Another fuck up by the clueless fuckwits at the FA!!!

I seem to remember he was "required to resign" due to some legal battle he had to fight concerning financial problems.
I may have got that completely wrong.

Because they make a lot of soup there?
Just a wild guess.

Even then he set himself really low standards that he struggled to achieve.

Quite a character & a good football brain but did not fit the ideal FA mould like Nosegate ,

Just a wild guess.

There was a robbery of a store containing corned beef during WW2 where tins of corned beef went missing. However everyone on that estate seemed to have a lot of the stuff. Hence the name.

RIP, great memories of Euro 96'
