Look to true leaders Bill and Mooro tomorrow lads

It’s been one of the greatest privileges of my long ife to meet many good footballers and to work with two who became  friends – Mooro and Bonzo!

These two were almost inseparable in my book as leaders and I was reminded when talking to Bill yesterday afternoon that leadership comes in many forms.

Both Bill and Bob shared the same quality – a quiet delivery and the ability to cut to the chase in seconds – don’t beat around the bush with these guys. they smell bs mile away and they hate the star effer thing.

Both  were blessed with extraordinary football giftings but I have  never heard a boastful or even swear word out of either.

It just happened that alongside those abilities came the quiet leadership qualities that led them both to greatness.

It was never an overpowering thing – just a simple quality of being able to communicate quietly and with immense authority.

How we need just one like either of them right at this very moment. Guys who knew how to inspire both by words and actions on the pitch.

They will both be there tomorrow on our ClaretandHugh flag which will fly proudly inside the London Stadium for the first time as we head into the most vital of vital games.

We would ask the players to adopt the Bill and Bob attitude  – two guys who didn’t know the meaning of the word loser!
