He started his managerial career at Portsmouth. Meaningless point and trivia but the he Chennaiyin club colours and badge shares some similarities with the Portsmouth badge.




In playing your game I see the similarity of the colours, the crescent half moon and the horns, the stars and the ears, but more disturbingly I see a todger hanging out of the guys mouth that I can't now un-see.

He actually looks like the head of an upper-class Indian family from a Bollywood blockbuster (albeit a somewhat paler version) - he is even wearing Indian type garb too.

Love the man




All he needs is a bit darker skin and a fat moustache.

It clearly complements Pompey's rusty tea-towel holder.

Good man, Grecian.
Hadn't struck me before but he played and managed us, QPR and Derby. Are there any other people who have both played and managed for three or more of the same clubs?

Allardyce has managed Bolton and Sunderland and been caretaker manager of Preston and played for them all.

That's a brilliant photograph. He looks a bit like Stalin without the 'tache.
