Oh definitely, just look at Arsenal. When you played, didn't the coach have you walking around the pitch in formation, and it would be stop/start as they explained things individually and collectively.

Nothing so technical. It was touch, hit channels, and outwork the opposition. My fitness levels were incredible. During pre season we would run 40 miles per week, sprints, doggies etc. Until you were sick, that's how they wanted us. We weren't rated as footballers, so to be fitter than the opposition was the most important thing. My coach was an awful individual. We obviously worked on repetition, but it was very basic stuff. Swansea had a bloke named Ron Walton, he didn't kill his players and worked more on improving them as footballers. He's Mark Waltons Dad. Ex city keeper.

No piggyback and wheelbarrow races? I was ace at sprinting, doggies were shit though. I used to run 7 miles a day just for fun at my own pace. Hated any organised runs though, as there was always some idiot up front who thought they were Mo Farah!

Going back to the point on co-commentators, Earnie does what I want from one in telling me things that are not obvious and I can see for myself. Some of the best at this are on the NFL coverage - Tony Romo, Tom Brady, etc. They are even able to predict plays before they happen. The likes of Ally McCoist although not necessarily in that bracket bring pure enjoyment of the game and humour which is not a bad thing.
