Peter Reid

Uh, but in terms of, yeah, so you support City, then the, uh, posters started to appear on my wall, uh, taken out the Manchester Evening News.

I think Peter Reid was up there.

Niall Quinn, David White.

But they were, yeah, they were a good team to watch.

I mean, you start the decade with, I mean, arguably the best English manager in the league in, in Howard Kendall given ag- again at 1990, given the recent past and what he's done with Everton, he's gone abroad and he's, he's obviously kind of come back.

Um, you'll end the decade with another kind of ex-Everton, um, manager of course in, in Joe Royle.

But in between then it's, you know, Peter Reid coming in just ending playing days and, and, and, and, um, kind of stepping up and kind of doing all right and then he's hooked and, you know, Brian Horton comes in from nowhere, but it, it's quite exciting and, uh, fair to say Alan Ball doesn't really, uh, fill everyone's, um, heart with joy.

I mean, it's, it, it's also chopping and changing in direction and style as well which w- we know now is just the, the, a sign of a club in, in real crisis when they, you know, they interview two managers for a post who play completely different styles of football.

And then obviously there's been a gap with Mick Buxton.

Um, and then we did Peter Reid.

So if we were gonna continue in order like that, um, I'd be hope- Roy Keane would be...

You know, by the time we get to him, [laughs] I'll be like, "This, we- I don't think we can make this happen," but I would, uh, I would absolutely love it to 'cause, um, but that would be- talk about being intimidated.

We dabbled with it.

Like, Barley sometimes says to me, "Do you want me to try and make it happen?" And I'm, I didn't, like, I d- I, I don't know.

We've kind of gone past to the Peter Reid bit now so, um...

We've made some reaches out, but if anybody knows Howard Wilkinson, please drop me a message and, and let me know.

We don't have to agree with all the policies, as we know, but as a country we've got to get together because it's a hard world out there.

Yes, that was the Peter Reid who said, I'm Peter Reid, I played footy.

Peter Reid, Everton and England former manager, Henry Riley catcher, and of course good friend of Andy Burnham.

Mr Burnham is no stranger to Everton Football Club.

Right, let's talk a little bit about Hope now.

And I was happy to go out and play in that position.

You had Paul Bracewell and Peter Reid as your two central midfield players.

And Kevin Sheedy was maybe a bit more of a winger than you were.

How did you see that?

and then you became part of the savior really the poland game where

which was it and uh you had to win yeah we had to win it was the third game of the of the group stage and if we did not win we were out and bobby had uh had changed the team uh back to something that we were familiar with which was all for all for two and uh I played on the right-hand side.

Peter Reid came in with Glenn Hoddle and Stevie Hodge.

So it was a balanced thing.

the annoying thing for me the TikToks all that kind of stuff is what allows you to put out content like that right life of a footballer all this kind of stuff is actual football so see when that starts affecting the basics of what you what you are as a person now in your career is football so if that starts getting in the way Bennett Bennett concentrate on what actually makes you tick as a football and if it's taking if people like us are sitting around a table and pointing a finger and people are writing in saying too many TikTok blah blah blah like take away the negativity take away the outside noise and concentrate what you actually done when you were 3, 4, 5 year old I

know you can't upset players these days but if that was Peter Reid Seymour John Ward Steve Parkin, Barnsley, he'd say, disable that account today or you don't play for us again.

Done.

Exactly.

pitch I could sit and have a beer with Simo on a Saturday night 7 till 11 put the world to rights talk anything but football yeah yeah shake hands, see you, great night.

Monday morning, I'd go in and you'd walk by and I'd be at that level of respect where I'm like, right, I need to be at it today and I want to be at it because he's doing, just because I've sat and had a beer with him, there's no favours.

Yeah, if you're not doing the, you're not doing the job, but like Peter Reid, he'd sit with you all day.

If you're not at it, train in the next day.

Venables leaves Leeds.

Peter Reid said, I didn't even ask about the money, just as well, because I'm not entirely sure you'd believe what you were told.

A man desperate for a job, really, and just desperate to be back in there.

And sometimes maybe managers...
