Barry Oddnob
Oddnob started his mangerial career at Deedar Rovers in the Femfresh League (North) in 1998, after retiring from football at 23 with a groin injury picked up from a fight at a Pukka Pie shop in Frechville. Deedar Rovers crashed through the leagues ... downwards ... eventually bottoming out in the Sheffield and District Sunday five-a-side league six, finishing at the foot of the table with one point and a goal difference of two hundred and seven against an six for. He was sacked (or resigned, or just gave up) and looked for a further appointment, applying for the then vacant Tottenham Hotspur job, the role eventually going to Sergio deSergio. Oddnob's next job was assistant manager to the assistant manager at Crevice Wipes 1XI, a hygenic aid manufacturer in Leeds where he played a few games in goal when Janet Rinser, their regular keeper was in hospital having her womb out. He let in a record eighty goals in seven matches and Rinser was forced to return with her bandages on to stop the club sliding to twentieth in the table. Oddnob left the club after the manager called him a fat, useless cunt.
Oddnob worked part time in B&Q for several months and applied for jobs at Southampton FC, Boca Juniors and Paris St Colin, a small French club on the outskirts of the capital. After a trial period with PSC whereby the club lost eight games on the trot, Oddnob was deported. Further roles included assistant manager to ISIS Blacks, a Syrian team club and Eccleshall Pensioners. The later job lasted almost six years but the club disbanded after three players died in the same nursing home in the same week (police investigations continue) and the centre forward was institutionalised with a form of Alzheimers.
Oddnob was appointed manager of Sheffield United on the sacking on Nigel Adkins on 15 Mar 2016. His opening statement included, "I am happy to join Sheffield Wednesday today in their challenge for the Premiership." Chairman Nigel McCabe added, "Steve joins a long line of daft , gullible cunts here at the beautiful downtown McCabe stadium. We are investing £20m next year in new assets to propel this great club I own up to new heights of mediocrity and disappintment and Neil is just the man to steer us there."
