 “I went over to chat to him and there’s a kid with a bag so I said to him ‘Are you the physio?’ He said ‘No, I’m the head of health, medical, physiology and something else and something else and well-being’. I said to him ‘How wide is your f___ing office door? You’ll never get that title on there!’
 
 Older than old skool itself, you have to love him.

 A good manager but would be even better if he embraced change and moved with the times.
