Former Red McAllister steps down at Coventry. . .

Really sad news. Best wishes for Mrs Macca, and thanks to Steve for that magical run in 2001.

 

Steve?

Terribly sad.

Gary, I meant of course. I guess it's a reflex reaction I get every time I write "Macca".

 

Ah, right. Sorry, I was being a little obtuse there.

 

This has been on on-going struggle for his family...I seem to remember this popping up the season after the Treble run.

All I can do is wish the best of luck and hope that it's eventually ends on a positive note. Obviously, I only know on a public footballing level, but he has never been anything less than the benchmark status of class.

 

From all reports Gary is a true gentleman and I wish he, his wife, and family the best. For me I'll always recall the great free kick in the derby during the treble year. It was all there: skill, tactics, deception and style.

 

That, and refusing to celebrate when scoring a goal that all but sent Coventry down to the first division. The man is class defined.

 

An almost-forgotten tradition, nowadays.

Class.
