Exclusive Interview with Sir Les Ferdinand (Video)

[Stanley]

Great stuff Pete.

Dave Sexton would be an INCREDIBLE interview.

Failing that, Phil Parkes, Don Givens, Ian Gillard would all be excellent.

Dave Sexton would be great, but I believe he is 80?

Maybe very difficult, but Parkes and gillard are on the radar

By bizarre coincidence his birthday is actually TODAY! He turned 80. Pete it would be an unbelievable coup if you managed to secure an interview with the great man. I've never seen a single interview with him, I think he was always quite a shy, retiring and modest type of man. I dont know what sort of health he's in these days but if it isnt great (and I pray that's not the case), then all the more reason why it would be such an achievement, if for no other reason than just to get a few words of wisdom from him, and as some kind of historical document. I doubt there were more than a handful throughout his career, particularly in relation to that one glorious season with QPR. And I dont care what anyone says, IMO he was without doubt the greatest manager in our history.

His Wiki page says: "He currently resides in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, where he is due to be commemorated with a new building in the town centre. He has lived in Kenilworth since becoming Coventry City manager in 1981 and the building in his honour, Sexton House, is a refurbished building divided between shops and offices."

If its any help here's a couple of links:

PS - Great news about Parkes and Gillard. Try and get Givens too!
