Mike Milligan


Recommended Posts

Bumped in to him in a pub in West Didsbury yesterday evening. He was in with Bryan Gunn and another fella he didn't name.

 

Great guy, really friendly. Keeps himself involved, working for Yeovil as a scout now and again and was down to do a Dinner at the Manchester FA. Was watching the Norwich game with great interest and had his photo taken with JSS (FANBOY!!).

Who wouldn't want to have their picture taken with Mike Milligan?

 

LEDGE.

 

Quite. Fanboy all you want, you didn't even want to have a chat with the man :wink:. He was a top bloke, nice of him to stay and have a chat with us for a bit.

 

P.S. Bryan Gunn has really let himself go, and he was pretty chunky when he was in charge at Norwich.

I didn't want to burden OWTB with JSS's face...

Mega under-rated player with Latics. Doesn't often get mentioned as one of the stars of the 'pinch me' era but he was a key part of it all. Always remember his cracking back flick goal against City in a great 3-3 draw at Maine Road.

Speaking of former players letting themselves go, did anyone see Neville Southall on Soccer AM? He has a head like Jabba The Hut!!

 

 

Yeh ,

loved the comment by presenter after NS had mentioned about playing hide & seek at Bury .

 

"Don't think he will be playing that anymore" !!!!! :lol:

Me for one. He couldn't get out of the place quick enough when we were relegated from the Premier league. A relegation he was part of. Would have

thought more of him if he had made a comittment to try to get us back up like Danny Murphy did at Fulham.

 

Him and Henry were terrific though .....Yard Dogs

He did actually talk about his exit with us when discussing the club's current situation. He bemoaned that there was no plan in place at the time for us to consolidate our recent successes following relegation. Us and Norwich offered him the same money and he went to JR and said he wanted to stay but wanted to know that there were plans to bring in quality to have another pop at getting back up. JR told him he could make no guarantees at all as there was nothing in place so he decided to go to Norwich instead.

And, let's face it, he made the right decision.
