The Big Interview with Graham Hunter
Jody Morris: The Long Road Home
•
So many questions surround Jody Morris' career - and, as I found out during our captivating conversation, the man himself is not short of answers. What was life like under Hoddle, Vialli and Gullit at pre-Abramovich Chelsea? How does he feel about being named as the toughest opponent of Xavi's career? And how did he go from the offer of a five-year contract at Chelsea to, within five years, playing First Division football for St Johnstone?
Morris has survived and thrived because he understands football and knows how to break it down. It is no surprise that he is now coaching the Chelsea Under-18s and is determined to establish himself in management. Don't be surprised to see him in the dugout at Stamford Bridge in the future.
Enjoy
Graham
