Title: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: Dozno9 on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:25:15 The LMA list 19 managers past and present that have achieved 1,000 English club games. I just wondered, without cheating, how many people would know who they were?
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: thedarkprince on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:28:48 The LMA list 19 managers past and present that have achieved 1,000 English club games. I just wondered, without cheating, how many people would care who they were? Corrected it for you. And yes, I'm struggling beyond about 5 or 6. Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: tans on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:30:20 Gradi
Ferguson Big ron Thats all i can think of Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: Dozno9 on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:32:21 Nothing wrong with a bit of a quiz, although the want for education frightens some people. ;D
Those 3 are indeed there, I only got 8. Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: thedarkprince on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:36:24 Those three and:
Clough (Snr) Dave Bassett Redknapp? Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: thedarkprince on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:37:50 I imagine there'll be some old schoolers in there like Busby, Shankley, Robson (or does abroad not count?).
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: fittons_coaching_badge on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:38:08 Brian Clough

2. Dave Bassett 3. Harry Redknapp 4. Ron Atkinson 5. Alex Ferguson 6. Brian Clough 7. Bobby Robson 8. Matt Busby 9. Jim Smith Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: thedarkprince on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:43:31 Despite mocking this, it's a good'un.
How about Hodgson? He must've racked up a fair few for Malmo, Inter, etc. Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: thedarkprince on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:44:09 Ooh!
Graham "Do I not like that" Taylor? Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: Paolo69 on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:44:21 Lennie Lawrence?
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: Paolo69 on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:45:02 Maybe even John Ward?
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: thedarkprince on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:45:28 Going a bit left-field with this one but... Wenger?
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: Dozno9 on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:46:07 1. Dario Gradi
2. Dave Bassett 3. Harry Redknapp 4. Ron Atkinson 5. Alex Ferguson 6. Brian Clough 7. Bobby Robson 8. Matt Busby 9. Jim Smith 10. Graham Taylor 11. Lennie Lawrence English clubs only so no Hodgson. Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: Dozno9 on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:47:03 No Ward and curiously no Wenger.
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: thedarkprince on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:48:18 Ok, temptation kicked in so I've taken a look at the list. Some interesting ones there, a couple that surprised me too.
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: DV on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:51:39 Steve Coppell? Neil Warnock has been around for a fair few years.
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: Dozno9 on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:52:39 1. Dario Gradi
2. Dave Bassett 3. Harry Redknapp 4. Ron Atkinson 5. Alex Ferguson 6. Brian Clough 7. Bobby Robson 8. Matt Busby 9. Jim Smith 10. Graham Taylor 11. Lennie Lawrence 12. Steve Coppell 13. Neil Warnock Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: thedarkprince on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:52:41 Wenger is 884 according to Wiki.
Oh, and DV is a cheat. Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: DV on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:53:19 DV is not a cheat.
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: thedarkprince on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:54:26 Fair enough but I wouldn't have guessed Coppell in a million years.
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: Dozno9 on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:55:12 Coppell, I would have never have thought it and it's not that many clubs either.
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: thedarkprince on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:55:58 Coppell, I would have never have thought it and it's not that many clubs either. How many? Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: DV on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:57:05 Fair enough but I wouldn't have guessed Coppell. He's been around a fair old while though and despite some odd short spells, he's generally been in a job. Although Wiki say 988 games! Graham Turner was Hereford manager for what, 15 odd years - so he must have clocked up almost enough just for them. Still going at Shrewsbury. Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: wiggy on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:57:35 Pardew?
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: sheepshagger on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:57:42 Bob Paisley ?
Bill Shankly ? Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: DV on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:58:34 How many? Palace, Palace, Man City (6 games!!) Palace, Palace, Brentford, Brighton, Reading, Bristol City (2 games!!) Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: sheepshagger on Monday, February 6, 2012, 20:58:54 Sam allerdyce ?
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: Processed Beats on Monday, February 6, 2012, 21:00:43 Joe Royle?
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: wiggy on Monday, February 6, 2012, 21:01:07 West Ham used to keep their managers for years and years. John Lyall must have got close.
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: Dozno9 on Monday, February 6, 2012, 21:03:48 1. Dario Gradi
2. Dave Bassett 3. Harry Redknapp 4. Ron Atkinson 5. Alex Ferguson 6. Brian Clough 7. Bobby Robson 8. Matt Busby 9. Jim Smith 10. Graham Taylor 11. Lennie Lawrence 12. Steve Coppell 13. Neil Warnock 14. Graham Turner 15. Joe Royle Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: wiggy on Monday, February 6, 2012, 21:04:35 Balls, this is doing my head in.
Howard Kendall? Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: Dozno9 on Monday, February 6, 2012, 21:04:53 Nope
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, February 6, 2012, 21:10:27 David Moyes?
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: wiggy on Monday, February 6, 2012, 21:11:26 John Bond?
I thought Kendall was a shoe in. If Bond isn't there I am giving up and looking at the LMA website! Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: Dozno9 on Monday, February 6, 2012, 21:12:37 No Moyes, the other 3 are fairly hard tbh. Names you would have heard of (albeit one for me) but spent more time in the lower leagues.
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: wiggy on Monday, February 6, 2012, 21:14:12 Lawrie McMenemy?
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: Dozno9 on Monday, February 6, 2012, 21:14:49 Think of our yellow belly neighbours.
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, February 6, 2012, 21:15:34 Chris Wilder? No idea of his record previously mind you.
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: Flashheart on Monday, February 6, 2012, 21:17:41 Paul Sturrock
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: Dozno9 on Monday, February 6, 2012, 21:18:33 Think of our yellow belly neighbours a few years back.
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: wiggy on Monday, February 6, 2012, 21:19:45 Fuck it, I have cheated now, and feel dirty.
I think they must have miscounted for some of my suggestions above! Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: adje on Monday, February 6, 2012, 21:31:00 denis smith?
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: Dozno9 on Monday, February 6, 2012, 21:31:18 The list is:
1. Dario Gradi 2. Dave Bassett 3. Harry Redknapp 4. Ron Atkinson 5. Alex Ferguson 6. Brian Clough 7. Bobby Robson 8. Matt Busby 9. Jim Smith 10. Graham Taylor 11. Lennie Lawrence 12. Steve Coppell 13. Neil Warnock 14. Graham Turner 15. Joe Royle 16. Brian Horton 17. Denis Smith 18. Alan Buckley 19. Alec Stock Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: Ironside on Monday, February 6, 2012, 21:32:56 Fuck, I cheated too.
What the fuck? He was actually as hit manager, on a par with Malpas... Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: thedarkprince on Tuesday, February 7, 2012, 08:48:21 Never even heard of Alec Stock.
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: REDBUCK on Tuesday, February 7, 2012, 08:53:10 Shame on you - Alex Stock. Manager of Non League Yeovil
http://www.ciderspace.co.uk/asp/history/stock-alec-tribute.asp Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: thedarkprince on Tuesday, February 7, 2012, 09:31:31 To be fair, he had stopped managing before I was even born!
There's quite an eclectic mix of clubs he managed... Yeovil, Orient, Roma!, QPR, Luton, Fulham, Bournemouth. Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, February 7, 2012, 09:32:39 Never even heard of Alec Stock. He was the character that "Ron Manager" was based on in the fast Show. Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, February 7, 2012, 09:33:15 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4I1ye2gcEo
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: Dozno9 on Tuesday, February 7, 2012, 10:15:27 He's the one I had never heard of either.
Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: thedarkprince on Tuesday, February 7, 2012, 10:36:12 He was the character that "Ron Manager" was based on in the fast Show. Yes, I read his wiki as well. Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, February 7, 2012, 10:40:08 Yes, I read his wiki as well. Being in my mid to late 40's I remember Alec Stock as a manager up against us and TBH its common knowledge that he was the basis for Ron Manager because Paul Whitehouse has said that in EVERY interview he has ever had about the sketch.

Quote A lot of football managers used to talk in that strange accent, trying speak “proper” but not quite getting there. Was the Ron Manager character derived from memories of seeing Alec Stock on TV? Yes, when I worked at Hackney Council me and a mate used to do impersonations of him all the time. “Enduring image” seemed like the sort of thing he would say and “he took that with aplomb”. No one outside football would ever use a word like “aplomb”.They dug out a clip of him for The Fast Show night and he was great, he said “Well, you know, the goal’s gone in, England are on the march, the bunting’s out isn’t it, the cakes are there...” It’s the empire and all that: “We like Gandhi, as a person, but we’re celebrating England aren’t we?” I love saying “association football” as well. Title: Re: LMA - 1,000 Club Post by: thedarkprince on Tuesday, February 7, 2012, 12:24:32 Fair enough JJ but you can see why I was suspicious...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alec_Stock Quote Ron Manager, a character in BBC comedy sketch show The Fast Show is based on Stock, told by George Best in his autobiography. |
