Naturalcynic 817 Posted January 28, 2022 On House of Games tonight there was a question about Leeroy Rosenior who apparently lasted 10 minutes as manager of Torquay. This reminded me of a similar occurrence at NCFC about 20 years ago when we appointed someone but he resigned before even taking up the post. All I remember is he wore a flat cap and sounded permanently depressed, but I have no idea who he was or why he resigned. Can anyone shed any light on this, or have I “misremembered” the incident?

Are you getting confused with a greyhound racing manager at Yarmouth? 🤣 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Google Bot 3,934 Posted January 28, 2022 I remember Mike Phelan coming back and was manager for a small period - you're not thinking of that? He never really seemed like he wanted to be here, was a bit surreal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could have been him, but I think my memory is playing tricks on me and I’m confusing the event with Mick Wadsworth who I believe was our reluctant assistant manager back in the 90s and left fairly soon after arriving.

alex_ncfc 686 Posted January 30, 2022 Didn't we hire a manager before Walker in 1992 who changed his mind as he didn't want to move to Norwich? Maybe it was him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
