Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted May 19, 2016 Tony Spearing was part of Dan Ashworth''s team at WBA.Ashworth picked up a huge amount of praise and credibility for the success of their scouting and training at WBA at the time, leading to him being poached by the FA. The FA came in for Ashworth on Hodgson''s recommendation, after he worked with him at Albion.I wouldn''t be surprised if Norwich have gone for Spearing partly on advice from Hodgson - Delia is good friends with Roy and he recommended David McNally to them after they worked together at Fulham.Delia, MWJ and McNally all went out to watch Hodgson''s first England game against Norway as his guests. In that game a certain Alex Tettey stood out at defensive midfield. A few months later, Norwich signed Tettey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
