I'd love to know the story behind his drugs ban and departure. I hated him when he fucked off after his ban was up .It seemed we looked after him and he shit on us .
But I guess there is a lot of shit I dont know.

After listening to the Michael Tonge undr the Cosh, the other day I think there may be more to it than meets the eye.
Basically when Tonge moved to Stoke. Blackwell said to him....’I don’t want you to go but I’ve been told not to persuade you to stay’
Guessing Paddy would have been one of the highest earners at the club at the time too so no doubt this could have been McCabe’s doing.
I thought he negotiated the transfer while banned? It was reported at the time that McCabe had him pay his wages back.
I thought he renegotiated his contract with a 400k release clause. Warnock knew about it and bought him straight away (or whatever the actual sale amount was).
This also could be a rare case of someone writing a book before ever actually reading one.
He's not writing it.
No shit.
That may raise a few eyebrows......
Wonder if it will tell of his dealings with some denizens of Woodhouse?

Warnock's admonishment for the incident you've referred to was ' I've told him not to go out in Halifax'.If they haven’t been bitten off in Kenny’s case.

‘A journeyman ‘keeper from the lower leagues’ who had three real clubs as a pro, played for two clubs at the highest level and for his country?Not sure that this would be a very interesting read.
Maybe the bit about why he left after the drugs test and the Muscat fight but 300 pages of stories of him getting drunk in a restaurant/pub and then having a fight. Not sure anyone outside of a few hundred United fans would be that bothered. Enjoyed Danny Hall's other books but I am not sure many people are desperate to read a story about a journeyman keeper from the lower leagues noone has really heard of outside of the clubs he played for. Think maybe an article in the Star may have sufficed here but a whole book?
I think there are other United players that would generate more interest - Billy Whitehurst for instance, although his might be full of fights also come to think of it!

He played for 8 clubs, if we're splitting hairs. One was Maltby Main...I think my point is he is not really well known to average football fans - he spent maybe 2 seasons out of a 20 year career at the top level - and played for 10 clubs not three I think. I was surprised he played for Ireland 7 times? Was he the back up to Given - i assume these were friendly games but still impressive to get that many caps as I thought he had only played maybe once or twice.
I am not sure outside of a few United and maybe QPR fans who would be that interested in reading 300 pages on him. Just did not think he is worth 'a book'
Maybe loads of Blades would spend £15 on his book but I doubt it.

Three real clubs as a pro'. United, QPR and Leeds. Won promotion to the Prem with two of them. Play-off finals, promotion, relegation, Tevez affair, drugs ban, controversial sale, promotion again, on the wrong end of the most famous goal in PL history, moved to one of biggest clubs in the country, which was also a basket case, as had his previous.
That's just on-field stuff. If you don't fancy it, that's absolutely fine though
We'll seeSounds like you are on commision -you could write the blurb for it!
There might be a few interesting stories but genuinely dont think he's that interesting or known as a character for a book to sell many copies outside of a few hundred Blades maybe.
I might be wrong. We'll see when it is released. Sort of book that will be in the Works for a quid in a few years time I anticipate!

Wrong. It was suggested the SYT is/was a ‘spin-off’ of The Star. It isn’t/wasn’t. That thread was apparently two and a half years ago though, so I’ll forgive your fading memory...( and suggested,when asked if there was a link between the SY Times and the Star, that there wasn’t. When it was pointed out they were both owned by Johnston Press, even the smileys went missing).
