Add in the fact he used to play for them too!
And he could live in Sorrento while working there!
He passed away in 94.
I grew up watching his Friday evenings Southern TV prog Out Of Town, my Dad loved it.
JH was a clever bloke, he packed a lot into his long life.
He must have a new contract from Uncle Tone on it's way, shirley?
Me too - we even sang/whistled along to his song at the end of each show - great stuff.
That’s stuck in my mind, now, 50 years on
. As well at its replacement, the Spanish guitar solo.

I remember sliding down the bank as kid to make a quick exit from the Northstand.

The Napoli chairman is a complete crank, as far from Tony Bloom as you can get.
He's crazy for not paying Spalletti what he's worth.
Not a surprise for De Zerbi to turn down that loon, if true.
Napoli chief's most outrageous claims - from "cretin" Messi to English vaginas
Aurelio De Laurentiis has owned Napoli for 18 years and during that time he has come out with some absolutely bizarre comments on a wide variety of topics. Here are the best of them

If De Zerbi makes it till the end of next season with us which is not certain especially if we start well then I really don't expect for him to be with us the season after next.
The strange thing is that when Potter left we slated him but if De Zerbi goes I get the impression we won't.

The key difference, and what really turned me against Potter - the Club showed enormous faith and loyalty to Potter, even when he was stringing together long winless runs, with few goals and lame performances - the Club very openly and publicly supported him. That faith, loyalty, support and commitment was NOT reciprocated when Potter left in September. The Club senior people place enormous emphasis on loyalty and commitment to each other. And Potter signed up to that. But it was weasel words, he flew for cash. Believe me, our top people are very bitter toward the man for that. Of course, outwardly they all rightly share positive platitudes about what Potter achieved, but deep down, there is a very real raw bitterness towards him. And I am 100% aligned to that. And I bet deep down our top team behind closed doors are PMSLOL at Potter and Chelsea’s demise, and the £85m they handed us in the process!
It was also the poaching of Roberts, Bruno, Macauley and a bit later Winstanley. Potter would’ve absolutely had a big say in that in his cosy chats with Boehly.
Mid Albion season.
It could’ve left us in deep sh1t this season.
All in a typically emotionless Brummie Potter manner. The personality antithesis of RDZ and Mac Allister.
Thank fck TB had brilliantly planned contingency plans.
Nah……TB and PB were happy to let him prostitute himself to a job he was never going to handle because they already knew they had an upgrade available. £20m compo and a better manager…….there’s no bitterness from our top boys.

I imagine the way RDZ talks about players deserving opportunities at ‘bigger clubs’ with the chance to play in ‘bigger competitions’ is very true of his own future.
Enjoy the ride because this guy seems the real deal and will be managing one of the big 6 in the next few years IMO.
Newcastle would be my bet….

RDZ is too smart to follow Pep, no one will really want to do that.
um bongo molongo

That’s my bet as well. I wouldn’t think Pep will go more than 1-2 more seasons, especially if they win the CL this year. One more good season with us and you’d think RDZ, recommended by Pep, would be a very likely option.
