Self serving shite

What a nob ched

They were a bog standard team of bog standard players, with no real discernible game plan and hadn’t a clue how to break Pools down.
Love how the sign collapsed on him at the end.

I did enjoy cooper saying that we are a team of blokes.

We completely did a job on them, aside from one minor communication issue between Mani O and Dixon at the end they barely had a chance.

What an arse, dunno what game he was at.

You mean that tap in as he called it.

The stars must of aligned at that moment.

When Pools signed Cooper A guy I knew who was a director at Fulham said we would regret getting him as he would start ok for a few games then loose interest and be a sick note he was right and he did not last long. Today he came across as a bitter man, who could not accept that the better team won.

When he signed for Pools it was me who arranged the transport of his furniture etc from Exeter to Stokesley. I met him 6 or 7 times and always found him a really nice bloke. BTW his blonde wife was a absolute stunner back then. But it is really disappointing listening to him winge and make up bull shit. Maybe it is a desperate under pressure manager thing. He dad played in the great Leeds side of the seventies.

His was a strange spell at Pools.
Seem to remember he started like a train and scored 10 goals from midfield. Think Houchen was manager at the time- mid nineties just after Lord Harold had redeveloped the ground.

He then went completely off the boil in the second half of the season and barely played. Think he had his head turned and was trying to engineer a move and basically went on strike.

Sure he left at the end of that season under a bit of a cloud - literally going from hero to zero in a matter of months. He may have even been top scorer that season, despite packing up by February.

His stint at Pools was a bit like Chris Beech's, in that they both had a falling out with the club over scoring bonuses which were supposedly withheld or interest from another club and therefore downed tools and refused to try.

I remember him well, the miserable bugger, petulant beyond reason.
Never smiled.

Comedy gold that interview. Well worth a watch

not the nicest bloke by a long way. remember having a real bust up with him and his late father after a birmingham city youth team game where i had to be physically restrained due to their comments on how i handled the game. not going to take that from anybody especially after being asked how many league games i played in as if that made a difference. that was possibly the mildest of comments. should have put a report in but thats not my way as for me it was all done and dusted in the end but problems always arose when i had to officiate that club.
