...I think it might have been Kanchelskis who went on to score the first goal that day, whoever it was I backed him so that miss is a fond memory.
I have no particularly good feeling for Unsworth the player, he was ok and I remember his only international appearance against Japan. I don't think he was international level.
I think Unsworth is a far better coach than footballer. Teams like Man City and Chelsea have better individual players than we have at youth level but Unsworth has installed a real team ethic that is unique. This really shouldn't be underestimated, building such camaraderie amongst young professionals who are ultimately competing against each other for lucrative but limited contracts is no mean feat.
I'm always reluctant about youth coaches making the step up, I remember Colin Harvey unable to make the transition. Key is lack of evidence in the transfer market but this becomes less significant with the appointment of a DoF, and his recommendation of Calvert-Lewin to the Board is already bearing fruit.
Calls for him to be next cab on the rank might not be as daft as they once appeared.
