No, I actually first started at their bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur before making the controversial move to the other side of North London.

Who was the toughest player you had to defend against?

It must be Liverpool's Ian Rush, he had everything as a player. His movement, speed and work rate are phenomenal and you have to concentrate for the whole 90 minutes when up against him.

When you were coach at Rangers, how did the players react to your coaching methods?

When I first started coaching, it was a real shock to the players. The training sessions were not hard but the players had to think a lot. Football is not only a physical game but also a psychological one. A player needs to have the skills and to be able to think quickly in the game.

What are your views on the lack of interest shown in Hong Kong football?

It is disappointing to see that there is little interest shown in local football. But with the recent development of soccer schools by Arsenal and Manchester United, I am hopeful that the standards will be raised in the future.

Is there any rivalry between the Arsenal and Manchester United soccer schools?

No, there are no rivalries between us. In fact, I hope there will be more clubs developing their soccer schools here so that there will be more interest shown by the community in local football. We also need to encourage commercial companies to support these activities for the community.

Do you see yourself returning to England in the near future?

No, I am happy with working and developing Hong Kong football at the moment and I have no plans to return to England.
