Yeah just read the article it's really frank. Was especially intrigued by the parts on imposter syndrome and not feeling joy after a victory, just relief.

I must admit that when he played for Oxford that he didn't set the world alight, which having read the article is not surprising
His relative Finton was/is Sligo’s youngest goalkeeper
Having managed at premier and championship level, his contacts and scouting knowledge, would make a ideal candidate for DOF
Plus must have had dealings with Tiger in the past.

I played against Brian McDermott when he ended up playing for a side down here. A local guy was one of the first big roll over winners on the lottery and he ploughed a lot of money into a club here. Half the team were ex football league players and they strolled the county league here. I always remember how well he struck a football with so little effort. He did well to get the managers jobs he did from that point.

Stamco?
It was Stamco. They had a number of ex full time pro's playing. Steve Gatting was another I recall playing against.
Stamco is a building supplies firm. So as they climbed the leagues they had to change their name to St Leonard's Stamcroft then Hastings Utd as they couldn't have a business name.
