Chris Jones
RIP
I though he was a prat as a manager, met him once and he told me he was a bit of a Tottenham fan, you'd never believe it from the football his teams played.
What he did with Watford was unreal, football will always credit the cup winning managers but that Watford journey was every bit as good as winning the CL in footballing achievements. I truly believe that

t was the style of play I did not like.
I remember that too.... he really appeared to have lost the plot at that point! Alan Smith for Lineker... unbelieveable!Bit of a shock to read this, RIP.
Still remember him subbing Lineker off in his final international for Alan Fooking Smith. We were robbed against the Dutch, mind.
I have to agree on the subject of English footballers.Well, he did have Barnes at his best...
Those sides of Villa and Watford were great to watch. And not that dissimilar to what Klopp does.
I met him once. Charming and intelligent man. He said the problem with British footballers were that, on the whole, they were stupid in comparison to the continental players. You can't train them. If he had had any intelligent players he would have won everything... (his tongue firmly in cheek).
