THOUGH

it is 19 years since I worked there as a manager, Blackburn is still a place I return to, for the occasional evening at one of my favourite hotels, the Northcote Manor near our old training ground. I’ve had a couple of super evenings up there this week, including one hosted by the Michelin-starred John Williams, the godfather of chefs, from London’s Ritz, who invited us into the kitchen to see the preparation of what we were about to eat. The old mill town feels like a place on the up, with Rovers going well in the Championship. It’s great to see. I look back on my four years there with great affection.
