I loved that story of Alan 'Clarkie' taking his squad on a trip daaarn t' pit lol. To make them realise how lucky they were to be well paid football players, in about 1979-80 I think.

And also along those lines, didn't he get the staff to start washing their kits and cleaning their boots ?. To once again give them a feeling of higher importance.
Something that a lot of managers wouldn't think of doing these days.
