August 26 – Reidy Sacked and the Shankly Gates Open
One of English football’s iconic landmarks unveiled as Peter Reid needs cheering up.
AS everyone’s favourite dour scouser came home today in 1993 his wife no doubt broke into a chorus of “Cheer Up Peter Reid”, as her man had just been sacked as Manchester City manager after three years in charge at Maine Road. Read the whole sorry story here.
Just a short nugget today folks. We could have told you about Hernan Crespo signing for Chelsea, for that happened on this day in 2003, but we have had enough of Chelsea’s vulgar cash splurging so instead we are going back to Mereryside in 1982. Read what happened here.
Reidy takes on the Toon Army.
