Funnily enough, it was one of the things I said they should do. Him, and @alanshearer would be great as club ambassadors.

Doing this is a good thing. It shows that they aren’t about to remove the heritage from the club. Bring in people who know and love the club, and know and love the city. It’ll help keep the core values.
