Big John Toshack
« on: August 13, 2018, 09:00:36 pm »


I saw a headline on the BBC website 'Lee Erwin leaves Kilmarnock for John Toshack's Tractor Sazi in Iran'. He's coaching/managing in the Persian Gulf Pro League.

His last three coaching jobs have all been clubs I've never heard of:

Kazhar Lankaran, Wydad Casablanca and now this Tractor lot. Has he been blackballed out of Europe or is it they just pay big dollars? Seems weird for a feller who coached Real Madrid twice, mind you, he doesn't stay in a job long. Such a weird Management/Coaching CV:

1978–1983 Swansea City (Player–manager)

1983–1984 Swansea City

1984–1985 Sporting CP

1985–1989 Real Sociedad

1989–1990 Real Madrid

1991–1994 Real Sociedad

1994 Wales

1995–1997 Deportivo

1997–1999 Beşiktaş

1999 Real Madrid

2000–2001 Saint-Étienne

2001–2002 Real Sociedad

2002–2003 Catania

2004 Real Murcia

2004–2010 Wales

2011–2012 Macedonia

2013 Khazar Lankaran

2014–2016 Wydad Casablanca

2018– Tractor Sazi


Loved him as a player, especially playing in tandem with King Kev back in the day  :thumbup

YNWA Tosh..

For those over 50, get your pneumonia shots. I got mine a couple years ago.
Great shout, my brother pestered me to get mine last month, and it's one less thing to worry about since.

Come on big fella, show your legendary strength and pull through this.

Get well soon. I remember seeing news of his signing on an Echo board by Central Station.

£110,000. Big money at the time but he repaid every penny.

The first line is Stevie Heighway's always running

Never forget his goal in the 3:2 v Everton. He announced himself and became a hero. Get well soon Tosh.
