Malcolm Allison R.I.P.

[Diego_Sideburns]

Big Malcolm Allison has died aged 83. He was the brains behind Citeh's massive success in the late 1960s and Crystal Palace's glamorous FA Cup run in 1976. He also coached Sporting Lisbon to the Portuguese championship and cup win in 1982.

 

His infamy covered womanising, gambling and falling out with his employers, colleagues and players. After his acrimonious marriage break-up, he slid into the hands of alcoholism and dementia.
