He also behaved well when he was here. There's an edge to him. Even when he is tyring to behave himself you can see he is biting his lip. I think our.media guy at the time, Matt Young may have helped him, but for me, he has his methods and they work.

By contrast I was talking to a
friend of a former who played under home some time ago, not a roth player, who said he was a complete tw@t who crossed a line, so you have to be able to work with him for his methods to work, thus the high player turnover. Many can't.
Couldn't agree more with this and other positive memories of SE. We were never out of games with him, phenomenal team spirit and I for one, loved the ride. Chaotic at times but under his leadership he brought memories that I'll cherish forever. Ambitious but brilliant being the pinnacle of course.

So what if he isn't whiter than white, he hasn't killed anyone, so much needless venom towards him from some quarters.
