Don Howe Biography on the way. 08:56 - Nov 23 with 1559 views

I see LFW re-tweeting this one.

Look forward to reading this. Not a very subjective title and byline, but I hope the book is nuanced as his career deserves a proper examination. To my mind a seriously underrated Rangers manager, but also associated with some dreadful football at Arsenal and Wimbledon. No doubt, he is held in the highest regard, though.

Always liked his persona as well, calm and dignified.

40 years ago this month, Don Howe moved officially into the role of England coach, holding it for 13 years under three managers. As The Times said: "He never gets the England job, he just comes with the job." Excited to share the cover of my Don Howe biography, out in April pic.twitter.com/333evwEun7

When he took over we were nailed on to go down, he got us up last mid-table and was unlucky not to go all the way in the FA cup as well.

That should be a good read, a really good manager for us although a few players from that era don't speak favorably of him such as Ferdinand. Did a good job for England as well under Venables and Bobby Robson

Deserves to be celebrated for his uncompromising approach to pronunciation in his Football Italia days.

David Tossell's a really good author. I'd recommend another of his books that was out recently:

All Crazee Now: English Football and Footballers in the 1970s https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1785317571/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_C1XC67RGZ303BT5
