''We should have won by more in the end really but it always going to be hard work when you are playing against an alehouse team who play the game more like rugby union. They get the ball down and stop at every free kick and it is very difficult to get a flowing game going.'' Did he really say this? I mean - really? I'm still asleep - I must be.
He said it on radio sheffield try here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/southyorkshire/realmedia/sport/football/audio_archives/barnsley/2005_6_season/
RE: He said it on radio sheffield ''playing against an alehouse team''. Mmm. He deserves his ginger/grey beard.
He definitely said it, I heard it with my eyes. I don't think he liked media duty. I reckon he thought if he said that he wouldn't be asked to do it again.
