[34] More tributes for Wood
---------------------------------
Posted Tuesday, July 9, 2002 by bar-knee:
Wilf McGuinness in the MEN
“We were going for the double that year and certainly favourites to beat Villa in the
FA Cup final. But all that changed when Ray was flattened by McParland in the first
half. I don’t think there has ever quite been a foul like that in an FA Cup final. Ray
had the ball in his hands but McParland chased him for 10 yards and then hit him with
a flying head-butt. That was the only time I ever saw Duncan Edwards angry on a
football pitch. He came racing over with his eyes blazing but managed to control
himself. It was obvious straight off that Ray was badly injured. It was reported after
the match that he had fractured his cheekbone but I think his jaw was also broken by
that challenge from McParland. The medical staff walked Ray around behind the stands
trying to get him to come to his senses but it was obvious that he couldn’t continue
in goal. We didn’t have substitutes in those days so Jackie Blanchflower had to go in
goal. Ray came back in the second half and played up front !
for a while just to make up the numbers which says a lot about his bravery. But he was
in great pain and he had to be brought off again and, with ten men, we couldn’t hold
out an Villa beat us.
Ray was a very competent goalkeeper who went on to play for England but it is fair to
say that he wasn’t considered one of the bright lights in the team which became famous
as the Busby Babes. I will never forget his performance in a European Cup tie against
Borussia Dortmund in the mid-50s. We had drawn 3-3 against them at Maine Road and they
must have thought they were through to the next round with the home leg to come.
However, Ray stopped everything that came his way in the second match in Dortmund. He
was absolutely brilliant and it was his performance more than anything else which got
us a 0-0 draw and a place in the next round. He was a bit unfortunate in his spell at
Old Trafford in that there was a lot of clamour for the club to go out and buy Harry
Gregg from Doncaster Rovers who everyone was raving about. Harry did eventually arrive
and Ray hardly got a look-in at first-team level after that and eventually left not
long after the Munich disaster.”

Posted Tuesday, July 9, 2002 by bar-knee:
“I got to know Ray reasonably well. He was a quiet, undemonstrative man but very
interesting to listen to. He had some heart problems back in the 80s and underwent
by-pass surgery but he was captain of his local golf club in Bexhill and was in good
health right up his heart attack last weekend.”

The FSANFFSC? Nope - its the FSF - the Football Supporters Federation.

When they said that they had got rid of Ohdearme in the close season, because of lack
of success on the pitch, I think that most people raised an eyebrow. If that were the
real reason, then why not do it in May, or just before the World Cup when no-one would
really be looking?
Just like with the Stam issue, it is perfectly obvious what the real reason for his
dismissal, and the way that it was done does not suggest that they had anyone lined up
to step into his shoes. Imagine them going into the new season with Kiddo at the
helm?? There would have been riots, if he had been in charge whilst Rio was sold to us.
There have been strong rumours for some time here, that Martin O'Neill will be
replaced by Keano as player-manager at the end of this season. Roy the Boy has always
said that he wants to play for the hoops, and O'Neill is a rare commodity in this day
and age - a man of his word. No-one seriously believes that Sir Alex will see out his
3 years, and if we lift the European Cup at OT at the end of the season, I can see
them both bowing out in style.
Like Kidd, Steve McClaren was an unsung hero at OT, and showed that it was no fluke by
his boro side beating us twice last season. I reckon that this would have been a
really bold move, although it would seem that he also preferred to honour his current
contract. However, most leeds fans would settle for being relegated, if it meant
getting the double over us.
And so, to the cockney wide boy - who my nephews think is me! He always talks a good
game on tv, but is a nearly man who has never really won anything. Despite what is
being said about a 2 year deal, I reckon that he is only really a stop-gap until
O'Neill becomes available. There will be an interesting battle for his signature!!
So, Ohdearme spends £100m on his baybees, and wins nowt! Ridsdale must be nuts, if he
has forgotten to check El Tel's CV, or has it been carefully edited like an episode of
Hazel?

Posted Tuesday, July 9, 2002 by bar-knee:
"All I wish Terry is good luck in the job at Leeds. It doesn't matter to me who is in
the job now, but I really do wish him well. Terry is very experienced in coaching and
management and has built up a fantastic reputation for himself down the years. Now he
just has to go on and win something for Leeds. And I honestly believe that, if he can
keep hold of the players there that he needs to pick up trophies, then he will
certainly win something. The fact is that Terry has got to go in there, take it on and
turn it into trophies. And, providing he doesn't have to suffer the same kind of
off-field problems that I had to contend with over the last couple of years at the
club, then he can do that without any shadow of doubt. I have left Terry with a
top-class squad packed with experience and talent. With a bit of luck, I don't think
he will be far away from the title this season."

:"We had a very friendly meeting with Venables. He wanted to know where we stood and I

:form an important part of our plans under Terry. He was absolutely fine about that.
:And let's say Terry's appointment won't hinder the chance of all this uncertainty
:being put to rest. I was told Rio was both pleasantly surprised and hugely impressed
:with Terry's appointment. He volunteered that and I was pleased to hear it."

---------------------------------
Posted Tuesday, July 9, 2002 by bar-knee:
George Graham reckons Rio will now stay at leeds - surely didn't get the job just
because of that?
"Terry's arrival as manager is a massive plus for Leeds in their bid to hang on to
Rio. Terry's arrival, in that respect, could not have been better timed. It will help
their cause. There is no question it is a massive plus in their fight to stop Rio
going to United. Terry has a terrific personality and he will leave Rio in no doubt
about how he sees his future. They are both London lads and know each other
inside-out. Terry knows all about Rio's qualities as a player, while Ferdinand - like
every other player you care to mention - will have the utmost respect for Terry's
coaching ability and man-management skills."

[15] Ray Wood RIP
---------------------------------
Posted Tuesday, July 9, 2002 by bar-knee:
Ray Wood passed away after a heart attack yesterday.
Wood was goalier for United in the infamous 1957 Cup Final against Villa when he was
fouled and had his jaw broken in a rough challenge early on, went off injured, only to
come back and try and keep later on in the game.
He survived the Munich tragedy, winning 2 titles and playing over 200 times.
There was unhappiness about the delay in a testimonial for the families of those
involved in the terrible events of February 6th and the way it was handled by the club
in the way the team were compensated, he later thankfully managed to stop an auction
sale of his medals when he'd wanted them to go to his family.
Our thoughts go out to his family

[13] Leeds stop another united agent from spoiling our fun
---------------------------------
Posted Tuesday, July 9, 2002 by bar-knee:
Guardian report that McClaren nearly got the Leeds job
'It is a stark contrast from the situation facing McClaren, who has been left in an
invidious position at Middlesbrough that threatens to compromise his relationship with
the chairman Steve Gibson and the chief executive Keith Lamb.
Though there was no direct contact between himself and Ridsdale, the Leeds chairman
had held detailed negotiations with representatives of the Middlesbrough manager with
a view to exploiting a get-out clause in his contract that allows him to join another
Premiership club if compensation of £1.2m were agreed.
Contrary to reports that McClaren had turned down the job, Leeds had been informed he
was willing to leave Middlesbrough. The Teesside club would have been powerless to
prevent his departure and a deal had been provisionally agreed until members of the
Leeds plc board had second thoughts over the weekend.
Ridsdale was informed that there were reservations about McClaren's close links with
Manchester United, and it was also pointed out that Venables would not cost a penny in
compensation.'

Posted Tuesday, July 9, 2002 by bar-knee:
"Within seconds, I felt at ease with him. 'In that moment, if I had any doubts they
just disappeared. It was really a magic moment. I have done a lot of homework - not
just on the club and the players but also the fans and the local culture. I don't have
any problems or worries about working with such high-profile players. Since I first
became a coach in 1978, I have worked with some of the best in the world - Figo, Rui
Costa, Futre . . . many, many others. At the end of the day, you want players to
respect you - whether you are right or wrong. You should be ready to win the hearts of
the players through your competence, ideas and technical capability. I am confident
that I will convince them that my work is not to burden them but to make them become
better players. I believe in inner discipline, in common rules, common missions,
common principles. I am not a policeman. What I don't like is to deal with people who
lie to football. In that sense you can say I am a no-nonsense !
person. If you lie against football you damage the interests of the fans, the club and
your team-mates. We cannot support that."

[1]Teddy shagged my wife ...
---------------------------------
Posted Tuesday, July 9, 2002 by redend:
.... nearly.
A regular RN contributor, lets call him Michael, reports that his wife was in Marbella
this weekend on an Irish girls weekend lash-up. He gets this phone call from the Mrs
at 2AM Saturday morning asking if our man knows a footballer called Teddy Sheringham
cos she's just been bending his ear in the bar. She doesn't have any interest in
football you see but her friends identify the authenticity of the Teddy.
Michael patiently explains - err yes he's a bit of a United legend having scored one
or two important goals in 1999 - in particular in the Nou Camp, Barcelona.
As if to reinforce the hero worship point (and bear in mind he may have partaken of
several cold beverages) he then explained to his Mrs that she had permission to offer
her body to him as some kind of sacrificial gesture to the Red God. After all Teddy
had already given Michael a multiple orgasm in the Nou Camp so it would only be fair.
So she went back to the bar and passed on the details of her conversation to Edward -
although, to defend her honour, we should point out she explained she wasn't that type
of girl so the shag was not on. She explained that her husband was an ST holder at OT
and, thanks to Teddy, he had moistened his undergarments in the Nou Camp.
Teddy revealed that "the Spurs fans are pretty fickle" and repeated several times that
"United fans are the greatest in the World ...".

Says he hasn't thought about England, pre the World Cup he was offered to a few

"It's not something I have ever really considered, and if I ever left Italian football
I would be more likely to return to Spain or go hover really considered, and if I ever
left Italian football I would be more likely to return to Spain or go home to Brazil.
I think English football is exciting and the game has moved on incredibly over the
last few years. But it's not a League I have any desire to play in. I don't think
going to the Premiership would make me a better player - something I'm always striving
to do. The pace of the English game is so frantic and it doesn't suit the way we are
brought up to play - perhaps that is why so many Brazilians avoid going there. There
was talk of interest from England and tentative enquiries from Italy and Spain. But
PSV didn't talk, they signed me - and my career took off. I had two great seasons at
PSV - it was an education and an honour. But after that, like most Brazilians, I was
always destined to play in either Spain or Italy."
