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 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'

I know Brian Hillier's (RIP, he was the chairman when they were promoted / relegated due to financial issues ) best mate, he used to take his lad down to watch them train ( occasionally the lad would join in as he was a good non-league payer who wanted to step up ) , you are right, Lou used to run them all week till they dropped, then they would play crap , so Lou would run them some more my mate will not hear a bad word said about Lou, nothing but 100% respect for him

Hillier served time i think, then went onto to try and get Calne town into the football league,
