When he took over Newcastle United, you have to remember that they were near the bottom of the second division.
I just about remember those days when they were fighting relegation, but he kept them in the second division.
He transformed the club's fortunes and they got back into the top flight.
And then they played some of the greatest football that has ever been seen.
in the top flight in England.
They didn't always win games, but they were involved in some spectacular matches.
And they almost, almost won the title in 1996.
They were 12 points clear at the turn of the year.
Many people thought they were going to win the title.
But of course, Sir Alex Ferguson of Manchester United and Eric Cantona
had different ideas and they reeled him in.
Everyone will remember that incredible interview which he gave at the end of a live game on Sky Sports where he lost his cool and he was so insulted by the fact that
Alex Ferguson had been playing mind games suggesting that the opposition were trying harder when they played Manchester United than when they played Newcastle United and he snapped in that interview and there was that very very famous outburst when he said I would love it I would love it if we beat Manchester United of course

He also went on to manage Fulham.
First of all, he joined Fulham as a sort of chief football officer in a sort of executive role.
And Ray Wilkins was the head coach.
But when they failed to win promotion, he took over as the manager.
And after, I think, they lost in the playoffs, he did manage to get them in the Premier League.
Those were the days when Fulham were very, very ambitious and owned by Mohamed Al-Fayed.
