George Boateng Academy Coach

[darren woolley]

Welcome back George.

[spartacuss]

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.

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

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.

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

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?
