Very good choice I think

Was harshly treated as the fall guy @ Southampton and has already got experience working within the FA

If only he had stayed as a coach for us his reputation would still be high with all of our fans, when he worked with Curbs, he was the best

Good news, should do well, could just be what we actually need.

Great appointment, and congratulations Uncle Les!

Uncle Les; Gerrard won't ever make it. He's not good enough.

I also remember hearing a rumour that when he was our coach...the Charlton academy side stole his tie.

That's why I love him.

Good luck to him. He knows A LOT about football.

He certainly does - in fact he's probably forgot more than we know.

Good luck, Les - one of the good guys.

I always felt sorry for him when Laidlaw Ford gave Curbs a brand new Scorpio while Les had to make do with an Escort. Well who had the last laugh Alan eh?

Back in the day he was known as Alan “Two Fords” Curbishley.
