Pat Nevin - The World's First Player/Chief Executive Sacked in the Morning

    • Sport

How on earth did Pat Nevin become both a player and the chief executive at Motherwell FC? Roles that meant he was simultaneously being managed by and was the boss of, the man in the Fir Park dugout. Pat talks us through the job, how the dynamic worked in the dressing room and what he was like around the negotiating table. We also hear the alarming fault he found with the Motherwell pitch, how he ignored his Clyde manager's advice to go interrailing and why it was a godsend that the Chelsea training ground was right beside Heathrow.
