Never a fan of his as a manager, but he's a diamond when it comes to the important things in life.

If anyone hasnt seen it there's a film titled 'Marvellous' involving Lou Macari which is worth a watch in this doom laden world.

Apparently, when he was manager of Swindon, he'd run the bollocks off his players, they wouldn't see a ball for a week, and that was during the season as well :hehe: I remember being a kid, doing kit duty and Leigh Barnard whinging about the state of his boots, which i was supposed to keep clean. Len Ashurst was listening, and said to Barnard, in top scouse accent "Shut your whinging, ya little ****, or i'll send you back to Macari' :hehe:
Thank you for sharing this story. I was friends with one of his sons growing up and remember being welcomed in to their house. Also we played headers and volleys with Lou at the local park, what a leap that guy had! My memory of him was as a warm and friendly guy, I was very much in awe of him as a famous footballer of course. Wonderful to see the work he’s been doing helping others less fortunate.
