"I can only speak from my point of view, how you influenced my life.

"Of all the coaches I worked with, and I worked with a few, my time with you at Newcastle was as good as it ever got.

"Your honesty, your professionalism, your dedication, is what they are recognising and it is about time, because people like you who give so much to the game sometimes don't get recognised.

"You deserve it, mate. You have done so much for football.

"If someone was to say what does Arthur Cox mean to you, apart from a very, very good friend, I would say he is the most honest person I have ever met in my life and that honesty transfers to all the people around you.

"You probably won't enjoy this, because you don't like publicity - we all know that - but just for once, let yourself go, have a little bit of wine and be sure there are so many people who would love to be there (I'm one of them) to recognise what you have done in football.

"Well done, mate. I am pleased for you."

He barely put a foot wrong in his first 5 years.

Selling Wilson to buy Micklewhite and Christie was a masterstroke.

Gary Micklewhite was probably one of his most underrated signings ever..... brilliant winger, we can rave about Cally/McMinn and there dribbling and skill..... no one could match Micklewhite’s vision and crossing. Sublime.
