After all, they were two unexceptional Championship teams with few obvious connections. Then, two days later, Wolves appointed Glenn Hoddle as manager. Suddenly the tie represented the detached, intellectual former England coach's first meeting with the managerial incarnation of Dennis Wise, the energetic, emotional midfielder who captained Chelsea under Hoddle in the mid-90s and guided Millwall to last season's FA Cup final. guardianwisehood ------------------------------------------------------------ Interview: Steve Perryman Steve Perryman's work with Exeter and Yeading in the FA Cup has helped to restore his faith in the English game, writes Donald McRae guardperryman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

analyst Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 A great book about Italian division 2 and 3 soccer is the Miracle of Castel de Sangro by Joe McGinniss. Its a true story based on a year the author spent in the small Italian town, supporting the local soccer team which had miraculously been promoted a couple seasons in a row. It tells about broken management promises, the ambitions of the players and their comraderie to one another, a tough team coach, potential underworld connections, and more. Its a great book by an American who has written political exposes before but who is a true soccer fanatic. The book is published by Little Brown.
