I don't know if we get much of a mention in his book but its great to hear a football man talking straight. His dislike of Man Yoo is entertaining! Heres a link to an article on The Times site www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,27-994456,00.html |

Quote from article...
"United’s support was built on sympathy after the Munich disaster. If you go to Old Trafford you don’t see that many people from Manchester," he says. "I’ll never understand why you get these knobheads coming up on coaches from places like Torquay to support them. I went to one game and all I heard was Irish accents, hundreds of them."
I'm proud to say he used to play for Stoke! ;D
PS ~ Nowt against any Irish people though - all gloryhunters are knobheads in my book!

Well seeing as Doyle is an Irish name and I think he played for Ireland? I doubt whether he has much against Irish people either. I know for a fact that most Irish people interested in football either support Liverpool or Manure unfortunately.

I thought he played for England as most people did during that period of managers of the England team.
Unless they were at Stoke of course. Why Greenhoff was never capped amazes me.

Imagine MCF and Mike Doyle discussing Man U. Christ - the air would be blue - and not necessarily sky blue either!
Did we have another Doyle playing for us in the early 80's - I remember I had a Pannini sticker of someone with that name at the time?

He joined us in the close seson of 1978. Played a crucial part in our promotion with Durban.
After beating West Ham in a vital 4 pointer Doyle stood on the edge of the Stoke End penalty area shamelesly baiting the visiting supporters. To his credit despite leaving the love of his life he still did a great job for us.
Thinking about it its crazy that theres some who didn't rate Durban as a manager. The signing of Doyle was a masterstroke.
