Peter Reid in the November issue of Reader’s Digest magazine
PETER REID in an interview with former Loaded editor James Brown says he still worries about Maradona and his inability to stop him scoring one of the World Cup’s greatest ever goals when he dribbled round six English players before knocking the ball into the net – and England out of the tournament.
“I still have nightmares about Maradona. Genuinely. I wake up worrying about it. You just couldn’t get near him.”
Commenting on his time in Bangkok, Reid says:
“I don’t know why they took to me, but the players were great. I have a laugh. I’m not one of those serious coaches. Enjoy it and do it with a smile on your face. The Thai press know people at home think I’m miserable. I mean, the song ‘Cheer Up Peter Reid’ [to the tune of ‘Daydream Believer’] nearly made the Top 40 in Britain. But I’m not miserable; it’s just that I concentrate on my work.”
“Being an international manager is great but the pull of working with a famous old club back in the Premier League was just too good to turn down.”
“It’s fair to say my return was greeted with slightly less fanfare than my first day in Bangkok.”
