Look like a similar role to that of Liam Brady at Arsenal.

 

Haircut to match as well! :D

Heard this after the Man United Youth Cup Final, asked someone who would know and they nodded and smiled.

Great news.

 

I love Gary Mac.

Great to hear he's coming back but is he actually a decent coach or is it just sentiment?

 

thats what they'd do.....they would pay soemone thousands of pounds and put them in a pivotal position in the club for sentiment

They wanted him back for the reserves but it was too soon after the death of his wife. Good to have him back, a true legend.

McAllister gets on his bike

By James Mossop, Sunday Telegraph

As Liverpool head for the great Athenian adventure, one of their former stars, Gary McAllister, is providing a whole new meaning to the expression 'on yer bike'.

 

He sets off today on a 1,200-mile cycle ride to Spain alongside former England internationals Russell Osman and Tony Dorigo, Scotland's Alan McInally, former Leicester goalkeeper Ian Andrews and various celebrities, all with the drive to raise money for a breast cancer charity.

 

McAllister's wife, Denise, died of the disease last year after he had resigned as Coventry City manager to look after her. When Osman, a former Ipswich Town defender, came up with the idea of the ride from Wembley to the La Manga Club, enthusiasm soared.

 

"Everyone has been touched by people they know who have suffered cancer. It's going to be tough, but it is a fantastic idea. I run 15-20 miles a week, but cycling involves a different set of muscles and riding over the Pyrenees into Spain will be interesting - and hard."

He is managing to take a quick break from it to fly in and out of Athens to see Liverpool try to win the European Cup again and he regards his time at Anfield, where he became a crowd favourite, as a dream. "Looking back is like waking from a fantasy," he said.

 

Today he and the others will do a lap of Wembley Stadium before the Conference play-off final between Morecambe and Exeter before starting their 14-stage run to La Manga, where they plan to arrive on June 2 in time to play in the Lee Addison Footballers Golf Classic.

 

They are hoping to raise in excess of £100,000 for the Boobs (Boys Out On Bikes) charity, with the ultimate aim of pulling in £1m in three years.

 

McAllister does not find cycling easy; Osman loves it but, as the Scot says: "We have been given state-of-the-art bikes by the Giant cycle team and their professionals will be alongside. But these drop handlebars take a bit of getting used to. I was a Chopper lad."

 

Their route will resemble a Tour de France with support vehicles and a television crew as they go through Caen, Alencon, Saumur, Bianzay, Pocheres, Gabarnet and Laruns before reaching their first Spanish stop at Sabinanigo. Then they roll through Zaragoza and four more towns before reaching La Manga.

 

Donations may be sent to Boobs Charitable Trust, BNB Management, Tuition House, 27-37 St George's Road, Wimbledon, SW19 4DS or log on to www.boysoutonbikes.org.
