Didn't catch anything but taking penalties near the end, but his two sons took penalties. It's interesting to note that they both play for Derby. So he could have chosen for them to play for Stoke, where he had most if his best years, but he chose Derby instead.

Also interesting to note, they were crap at their penalties, missed the goal entirely, so it's good to see our penalty taking prowess is filtering down to the youth teams too.

its very easy to fall in love with this city

I'm sure that's a factor. But I'd like to think that

a) he had a few options and maybe our youth set up was the best of the options and

b) it's been ages since he played for Derby, so Derby's got to be a pretty smashing place for him to still be here. I know it's commutable to Stoke, but still, nice that decided to settle here. Mind you though, when the other option is Stoke...

PS whoever caught the end if Soccer AM, anyone else think Kurt Angle was a waxwork? Scared the **** out of me when he moved.

stoke is an awful city, why would you want to live there

His kids are settled in Derbyshire schools, schools that fully support their desires to play footy. Or something like that anyway, think the strong community ethos of DCFC has helped.

He's the manager of our u14s side and is currently doing all his coaching badges. I reckon his kids are younger than 14 so he probably just brought them along with him

It's not that bad, I really miss it when I'm away

Kevin Phillips sons play for our youth team aswell (either both or one of them)
