Yep big Pompey fan and still is, hes a mate on FB, not sure what he does as a job, we were both on the YTS at the BR training school in Dean Street at the time.
Cracking lad was Sid. Started to get back to a few Swindon games a few seasons back. The Cobblers and Kettering game remember it so well. The Pool balls were also flying around in the car park. After the game at the Cobblers witnessed my first knife at a footy game before we left to go home. Back then some scary times without doubt. Spent a lot of time at Pompey during the 70’s as Jimmy Quinn will tell you  Chris Kamara made me realise that blood is red and the 6:57 was never coming through Didcot. It’s been a long long journey. |

With a long way still to go.... Sid is a decent lad and they were a couple of the scariest moments as a Town fan I have experienced. And yes turns out Jimmy went to school with my older sister. |

We have actually met a few times. I recall Bury away being one if my memory serves me well. |

True but you've predicted that he will be gone within a month so no more secure than Wigan and if that is the case Power would have made him aware and can't see him paying up any six month contract if that did happen
You've taken the "month" out of context. This time next month is with the caveat of if the court case is settled (in or out of court) come 28th November. Which I did state "IF"  |

Just occurred to me that having Sheridan on board adds to the impressive tally of international caps gained by former Town managers.
Off the top of my head, can't think of another English club that comes close?
One for the STFC trivia buffs.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!

Southend must be close. Bobby Moore 108 caps. Paul Sturrock 20 caps. Chris Powell 5 caps. Sol Campbell 73 caps. Alvin Martin 15 caps. Ronnie Whelan 53 caps. Peter Taylor 4 caps. Plus several from earlier last century. |

Depends on how many caps those earlier Southend managers had because it's quite a bit less than Swindon's.
15 of the 38 men to manage Swindon on a permanent basis have international caps.
Vizard (Wales, 22 caps)
Harris (Scotland, 1 cap)
Page (England, 7 caps)
Mackay (Scotland, 22 caps)
Macari (Scotland, 24 caps)
Ardiles (Argentina, 52 caps)
Hoddle (England, 53 caps)
McMahon (England, 17 caps)
Quinn (Northern Ireland, 46 caps)
Todd (England, 27 caps)
Wise (England, 21 caps)
Sturrock (Scotland, 20 caps)
Malpas (Scotland, 55 caps)
Wilson (Northern Ireland, 24 caps)
Sheridan (Republic of Ireland, 34 caps)
If you count caretaker managers then 43 more caps emerge (unless I've missed someone?)
Mike Walsh (Republic of Ireland, 4 caps)
Ady Williams (Wales, 13 caps),
Paul Bodin (Wales, 23 caps)
Noel Hunt (Republic of Ireland, 3 caps)
Either way, it's an impressive haul for a lower league side
It's also kind of funny that our manager during the one Premier League season plus the man who achieved our first second tier promotion (Head), the League Cup success (Williams) and Anglo-Italian fun (Ford) had a combined total of zero caps between them!

Not that many it seems. Frank Broome 7 David Jack 9 Gary Waddock 21 caretaker. No idea about any other club but I just remembered Southend had a fair few off the top of my head then googled it. We do seem to be able to attract ex internationals as manager but according to Wellens can't attract players due to our location! |
