What was your expectations when McMenemy first took charge?


Were they high or low?
Extremely high and we went from Monkwearmouth School at lunchtime to welcome him and got on Look North. They videoed from above at the crowd and I prayed that everyone saw it except Fitzimmons as we were late back for English lol.

His first game v Blackburn 0-2 and they hardly had a fit team. A Scotsman shouts down the tunnel “that’s p&ss3d on your parade Mr McMenemy”. That was Ian Miller and 30 years after I was teaching with his son and still do.

Crazy!!!
