The legend that is George Boateng has returned to the club as an academy coach. Good luck George
-
Bang Bang Boateng.
-
I loved George, our best defensive midfielder of the last twenty years.
-
He's had some useful coaching experience since retiring as a player, and his personal life as a devout Christian may mean he has the right approach for youngsters.

If anyone gets out of line he will break their arms with his face.

If anyone gets out of line he will break their arms with his face.
And throw their boots over the stand.

Is KMac still “reassigned” to a different role at the club or is he back involved with the playing side?

Yes, respected religious role models. Always a safe pair of hands when it comes to looking after youngsters. ;)

Happy enough with Boateng back, and good luck to him. But the idea that being Christian makes someone any more or less suitable for a role (unless it's a role at an actual church) is nonsense.

Lovely, lovely chap. An engine like Johm McGinn, a smile like a toothpaste advertisement. Met him in the Villa shop buying a shirt for his girlfriend. My daughter, then a skinny bird, modelled one for him to get the size right. Welcome back George.

New avfc U18’s coach is Richard Beale. Assistant is George Boateng. [gregg evans]

hmm I think Stan Petrov might have something to say about that! Not that GB wasnt a great player.
-

I mean...Catholic priests.
-
Welcome back George.
-
Yes, welcome back George, but try to suppress your own crab DNA when you're instructing them! I found your sideways passing and treating the half-way line as a minefield frustrating on many occasions.
-
I seem to recall he left for Boro in a strop as his teammates convinced him he had won the end of season dinner player of the year award and to act surprised, when in fact he hadn’t.

It wasn't his team-mates, it was Dave Ismay.

Beale is a very good youth coach, was at SHA for years and think likes of Redmond, Butland and Demari Gray were all developed and pushed up to first team under his watch.

Can't believe George was with us for only 3 seasons, how come we got rid ?

He asked to leave. It was when the likes of Southgate and Ugo were heading out the door, and there were rumours he'd taken something that was sais at an awards dinner badly. Something like that anyway. He was also interviewed and cited Villa's lack of ambition.

I was at a dinner on Sunday and sat next to a senior Birmingham referee. He said that the 2 most unpleasant people he had met in football were Neil Warnock and Dave Ismay.

I know you shouldn't speak ill of the dead. But.

Great interview. Seems like a great guy and very down to earth.Enjoyed him at the villa albeit for a limited time.

He left in 2002 after GT had returned, Ugo and Southgate had left for Boro prior to that. He was on the verge of the Dutch squad for that year's World Cup, in fact he was heavily linked with Liverpool before ending up at Boro ( see Southgate and Chelsea).

GAZZA BREAKS ARM ON GEORGE BOATENG FACE
Middlesbrough v Aston Villa 1999-00
"Gazza forearm smashes George Boateng in the face but does not take into account that George Boateng's face is made of steel"

I'm a little confused was the Dave Ismay wind up at the Award Ceremony with us or was it at Boro?

It was with us. Boateng had scored the scruffiest of goals a few weeks earlier and Laugh a Decade Ismay announced at the awards bash that he'd won Goal of the Season.

I was there and found it embarrassing, and I am not easily embarrassed. Usually well oiled, to be fair.
