Big Roy Evans Interview

[RedProf]

Why do you think Evans bought Scales and Babb? I remember being in Ibiza when almost on 2 consecutive days I picked up the paper and saw Scales one day (a bit out the blue that one IIRC) then Babb the next. We still had Ruddock and Wright. Do you think he did it as he had planned to go with 3 CBs when we played? Or do you think it was another fck up of the Kirkland/Dudek transfer sorts?

Great interview.

Never knew he was known as 'Big Roy Evans' though.

[Radar]

Roy's only 59 Seems like he should be alot older than that.

[alunevans]

I think that Souness bought Ruddock

ok 2 then. bought scales and babb on the same day didn't he?

[breffniboy]

We must also remember that over the period he was manager (except 1 and his time with GH) he has brought us the closest to winning the title and also didn't finish outside the top 4 but no champ league spot then so was looked upon as failure..........shame as it was the last proper footballing side we've had.

Although the dual manager thing didn't work out, I often think a blending of Roy's attacking philosophy with rafa's eye for a defender and clean sheets nouse, what a side we would be. Then again, it's chalk and cheese there innit?

the signing of babb was good for 2 reasons:

1 he had great pace
2 that time he smacked his knackers off the goal posts.....classic

When I hear Phil Babb, thats the first thing I think of.

Really?

Because I remember being scared of defending corners
