That was a great piece to read. Makes you applaud the man even more. 

Never knew the stories about him being stabbed or being involved in a car crash that left him in a very bad way. Certainly could have been worse but he never gave up on achieving something in football despite having his playing days done with. 

He was certainly motivated and gave everything, football and outside of football, his all. 

This is a great article, there's a lot in there that I hadn't heard before. I thin it's his life experience that makes him such a good man manager and an engaging bloke to listen to. He should consider writing an autobiography one day, it could inspire some people.
