He was reported as being very critical of Curbs and his man management when he left. Where was his happiest time in English football? And who, from a distance, does he regard appears to have those man-management skills he regarded so lacking in English football? I'll start him off Nigel Adkins, and if he doesn't know maybe highlight skills Swedish coaches have.
Proper cult hero was big Mathias. Kind of bit crap a times but also capable of some very good play and had a big heart. One of thos players that I always felt was trying to do the right thing when he was on the bal, just didn't always have the skills to put it into action.
Did he realise he was wearing a shirt with his name spelt incorrectly on the back or did someone have to point it out to him?
For some strange reason, in one match I watched Matt running back across the penalty area to line up a for a free kick, or corner or something, can't even remember who we were playing. As he passed a defender he punched him in the kidneys, and carried on unobserved by any official, and probably most of the crowd. Was that something he did as a matter of course, or was it a one off, and if so does he remember it, and can he tell us what provoked it?

Saw him do something similar within 30 seconds of coming on as a sub against Liverpool at the Valley. Cant remember who it was, I think maybe Hyppia. Made me laugh, he didn't even try to be subtle about it.
He also picked up Shola ameobi by the armpit after he smashed him through the advertising hoardings in front of me once. Lot of man love for Sven. My favourite player at the time even though he didn't play much.

Question for Matt , maybe a bit unfair .... Does Matt prefer Charlton or Palace?

Is he still friends with Martin Pringle ?
