None-Latics trivia question

[leeslover]

Not a trick question, I just can’t remember the answer. Who was the manager a few years ago who got sacked after his chairman walked into the hotel room to find the boss demonstrating his party piece, namely landing a freshly laden directly turd into a cup from on top of a wardrobe?

That wasn't Neil McDonald's departure from Carlisle was it? A week into the season. Or was that something to do with him knocking off a close relative of the chairman?

Steve Harrison (former England No.2 to Taylor)

I'm confused now, who crapped in the cup and who diddled the Chairman's missus?

Coventry City manager Chris Coleman has brought in vastly experienced Steve Harrison as his new number two.

 

Former England coach Harrison, 56, has come in to replace the outgoing Steve Kean, having signed a two-year deal to become Coleman's assistant manager.

 

Harrison has been out of football since ending his seven-year stay with Middlesbrough a year ago.

 

Blackpool-born Harrison first worked with Coleman in his days on the coaching staff at Crystal Palace.

 

His playing career started with seven years at his home town club Blackpool before a move to Graham Taylor's Watford in 1978 via Vancouver Whitecaps. And he ended his career at Charlton in 1982.

 

After joining Taylor's coaching staff at Watford, he followed him to Aston Villa.

 

He returned to Watford in January 1988, spending two seasons manager at Vicarage Road.

 

STEVE HARRISON

Born Blackpool, Boxing Day 1952

Played for Blackpool, Vancouver Whitecaps, Watford, Charlton Athletic

Managed Watford (Jan 1988-March 1990)

Coached: Watford, Villa, England, Wolves, Millwall, Palace, Preston, Middlesbrough

 

But the larger than life, always popular character has always done his best work behind the scenes and he rejoined Taylor, working for him with England and latterly to Wolves.

 

He also had coaching jobs at Millwall, Palace, and Preston before returning to work for Villa under John Gregory.

 

He was then lured to Teesside in July 2001 by new Boro boss Steve McClaren, along with a clutch of fellow Villa workmates, including Gareth Southgate.

 

After helping first McClaren and then latterly Southgate establish Boro as a Premier League force, he left the Riverside last summer as a result of health problems.

 

But, after a year out of the game, he was Coleman's first choice to succeed Kean.

 

 

 

For the younger members on here, Harrison was on the coaching staff at Palace at the end of Steve Coppell's first reign as manager and had a "party trick" where he would sit on the edge of a hotel wardrobe and :censored: into a paper cup placed on the floor below, which he often did in front of the players on their travels. He was sacked for it at Millwall before he joined Palace.

I think it's really tragic when people get serious about stuff. It's such an absurdity to take anything really seriously ... I make an honest attempt not to take anything seriously: I worked that attitude out about the time I was eighteen, I mean, what does it all mean when you get right down to it, what's the story here? Being alive is so weird.

Now I want to know what our players are going to do for entertainment, when holed up in hotels for all these away trips this season

Any suggestions anyone!
