I sit uncomfortably on a flimsy plastic seat, wringing my hands nervously as I look out at the sea of journalists in front of me. I had done previous bits and pieces for TV and Newspapers in my previous role as a Southampton academy coach, but nothing like this. As each of the journalists came...

Two of the greatest players ever to grace the game of football starting out in their managerial careers. The goal? to climb as high as they can go in the world of footbal, perhaps Henry will end up at Arsenal? Beckham at Man Utd? I will be taking the role of Beckham and Josh will be taking the...

Andre Villas-Boas is one of my absolute favourite managers, I was gutted when things didn't work out for him at Chelsea and then Tottenham. I feel he should have been given more time at both clubs, but the past is the past! and now it is time for his future!! This story will be focussed on...
