One of my mates I used to work with played a few games for the Eagles back in the 00's and told me how much the players hated their coach at the time Ken Judge. They had this "in-joke" point system going where they'd line him up and kick footies at him at training when he wasn't watching, trying to hit him, thus earning points in their game. My mate said quite a few of the players despised judge so much they deliberately made mistakes or bludged in front of him at training so they could just get dropped and go back to play for their WAFL club that weekend. One of his teammates even spread a rumour about himself and a non-existent dependence on an illegal substance, designed to get himself traded back to his home state - his ploy apparently didn't work. The only bloke at the club they hated as much as Ken Judge was Rod Lester-Smith, who was the football manager or something at the time.

Lol Ben Cousins told a story in his book about how he ducked off to grab some Hungry Jacks when he was hungry one day at Southern Cross Station before they headed back to the airport. Ken Judge berated him in front of anyone and all Cuz could say back was 'they're our major sponsor aren't they?'.

Was on board until the bolded, no way an early 2000s Eagles player had to make up a story about using drugs. :drunk:

Would have had to have spread the rumour far and wide for the club to have done something about it. I mean we are talking billboard on the graham farmer freeway levels of spread.

Very much fingers in the ear shouting “lalalalalala” from my club at that point.

Haha, back in the early 90's before Eddie was even hosting the Footy Show, let alone president of the Pies, and was just a sports muckraker on Ch 10, apparently the Collingwood players had very little time for him. I recall a good mate of mine speaking to one of Collingwood players back then (who may or may not have coached a premiership team this weekend) who reckoned Eddie just hung around them like a bad smell, usually uninvited and sponging off their drink cards.

Ten years later the players were all schmoozing up to Eddie.

Who was the legend that text into SEN on Friday morning when they were discussing animals and said David Glascott had a monkey. I was hoping Garry and Tim could shed some further light on it. Perhaps they didnt want to.. :tearsofjoy:

Gordon Strachan at his best


  1. Reporter: "Gordon, can we have a quick word please?"
    Strachan: "Velocity" (walks off).
  2. I've got more important things to think about. I've got a yogurt to finish by today, the expiry date is today. That can be my priority rather than Agustin Delgado.
  3. Reporter: "Bang, there goes your unbeaten run. Can you take it?"
    Strachan: "No, I'm just going to crumble like a wreck. I'll go home, become an alcoholic and maybe jump off a bridge. Umm, I think I can take it, yeah."
  4. "I tried to get the disappointment out of my system by going for a walk. I ended up 17 miles from home and I had to phone my wife, Lesley to come and pick me up."
  5. Reporter: "Gordon, do you think James Beattie deserves to be in the England squad?"
    Strachan: "I don't care, I'm Scottish."
  6. Reporter: "Gordon, you must be delighted with that result?"
    Strachan: "You're spot on! You can read me like a book!"
  7. Reporter: "Welcome to Southampton Football Club. Do you think you are the right man to turn things around?"
    Strachan: "No. I was asked if I thought I was the right man for the job and I said: 'No, I think they should have got George Graham because I'm useless.'"
  8. Reporter: "There's no negative vibes or negative feelings here?"
    Strachan: "Apart from yourself, we're all quite positive round here. I'm going to whack you over the head with a big stick. Down negative man, down!"
  9. On good friend and former Aberdeen teammate Alex McLeish: "We even competed for the acne cream when we were younger. Obviously, I won that one."
  10. Reporter: "So, Gordon, in what areas do you think Middlesbrough were better than you today?"
    Strachan: "What areas? Mainly that big green one out there..."
  11. Talking about Wayne Rooney: "It's an incredible rise to stardom. At 17 you're more likely to get a call from Michael Jackson than Sven Goran Eriksson."
  12. On Eric Cantona's bizarre press conference: "If a Frenchman goes on about seagulls, trawlers and sardines, he’s called a philosopher. I’d just be called a short Scottish bum talking crap."
  13. “Pahars has also caught every virus going except a computer virus and he is probably working on that even now.”
  14. Reporter: "This might sound like a daft question, but you'll be happy to get your first win under your belt, won't you?"
    Strachan: "You're right. It is a daft question. I'm not even going to bother answering that one. It is a daft question, you're spot on there."
  15. Talking about being attacked by a Celtic fan while an Aberdeen player in 1980: "It's always great fun getting attacked. One of the highlights of my career. The fella who beat me up got fined £100 for that but they had a whip-round in the pub and he got £200!"
  16. On his cooking ability: "It's embarrassing, I'm not proud of it. I can't even make myself anything to eat. I had to phone her and she said, 'I've left something to put in the microwave'. An hour later and I'm asking, "Where's the microwave?""
  17. Reporter: "Is that your best start to a season?"
    Strachan: "Well I've still got a job so it's far better than the Coventry one, that's for sure."
  18. Reporter: "You don't take losing lightly, do you Gordon?"
    Strachan: "I don't take stupid comments lightly either."
  19. “I have discovered that when you go to Anfield or Old Trafford, it pays not to wear a coloured shirt because everyone can see the stains as the pressure mounts. I always wear a white shirt so nobody sees you sweat.”
  20. On Sir Alex Ferguson while at Aberdeen: "He used to play tapes of Bill Shankly talking. I remember that and a singer he liked. I don't know who it was but it was crap. He played it on the team bus too, and all the boys hated it. Until one night it got chucked away. If he's still wondering who threw that tape off the bus, it was me. So maybe he was right and I'm not to be trusted."
