Hugely inspiring as a young parent myself.
Certainly someone I wouldn't rule out being in contention for the Town job if Kieran leaves this summer. So long as City don't win the playoffs, of course! [Post edited 14 Mar 13:04]

I liked the bit about Chris Hogg.
Sounded like he did an 8 hour round trip to give Liam and Fran a hug. What a guy.
"Then there is Chris Hogg, his assistant, who he met while the pair were progressing through Ipswich’s academy. Hogg took charge of two matches during Manning’s absence. Manning clears his throat a little.
“Probably the hardest one to talk about,” he says, a smile unfolding on his face. “First and foremost I couldn’t have a better friend. He was one of the first people I called to speak about it. Eight hours later he’s knocking on my door, having made the four-hour journey from Ipswich. He walked in, gave us all a hug, walked out and that was it, which speaks volumes of him as a person. He just gets it; he is comfortable with it being quiet, just being present or playing with Isaac. He doesn’t feel like he has to be doing something.” |  |

What a friend that is. Walks in, gives a massive hug and then leaves to not intrude at such a time.
I knew he was a good one when he married George Burleys daughter |  |

Was the bit of the piece that choked me up the most. Chapeau to Liam. One of those strange terribly sad but hugely uplifting stories. |  | | |

I can't remember who said football is the most important of the unimportant things, but they were right.
Puts the game into perspective, but also highlights it's power to help pick you up from the lowest of low points. | |
