For me, as a Stoke fan. It wasnt him saving us from religation from the championship, getting us promoted to the premier league and staying there. It wasn't an FA cup final, nor our Europian tour. Those were all great things, but, It was one moment... September 13th 2010, Stoke vs Aston Villa. It was announched before the game that he wasnt there following the death of his mother. At half time we were one nil down and as the players came out for the second half, there he was! It gave the fans and the players that lift we needed following a poor start to the season and we won the game two one. In that one moment he was, still is a Stoke legend.
Even though he says he moves on, as a Stoke fan it’s amazing to hear the love and passion in his voice when he talks about the club. Best manager in our history by a mile, he transformed everything about our club. What a legend
This guy is an absolute legend in Stoke. Did so much for the club and the city. Stoke were a mediocre championship club like they are now, but in his second spell along with new owners took Stoke to the top flight and kept them there after they were favourites for relegation. The football may not have been easy on the eye but it got the job done and the Britannia Stadium was a fortress. He even helped revolutionise the throw-in. I read somewhere that the average height of his team was 6'2. Master of set-pieces.
My father worked with Tony Pulis as his Chief Scout and/or Coach at Gillingham, Bristol City, Portsmouth, Plymouth and Stoke. My dad wanted Stoke to sign (Cheick) Tiote, (Hatem) Ben Arfa and (Demba) Ba before they got 'discovered' but nothing came of it unfortunately, definitely a weird watch for me.
Extremely interesting interview. Glad the interviewers don't talk over the guest. Well done. And good to hear some interesting views on football and life.
That's a funny example to use about Napoleon. "Not many people have taken armies into Russian and gone all the way to Moscow." Napoleon's invasion of Russian was the single worst decision/mistake he ever made. 80% of of his army never made it back alive and within 2 years Napoleon was enprisoned on a remote island in the Atlantic.

Tony Pulis seems like a really great guy. I'd say he's a legend not just a Stoke legend.
Grand Mother***
As a stoke city fan of 55 years i think our best ever manager

I could listen to Tony's stories all day long great Manager football needs people like him

What is the list of other players that he put forward that weren't at the level required? Swings and roundabouts with a shoe string budget
As a stoke fan I would like to sit down and talk stoke all day this guy is a legend.
Extremely interesting interview.
Glad the interviewers don't talk over the guest.

Ricardo Fuller, Legend🔥
Stoke City legend
Such a good listen
Need you back at Stoke TP!
The most underated manager ever, (underdog like no other)
Enough that he qualified to europa With Stoke? !!
He never finished that high with Stoke bro.
It was because Stoke reached the FA cup final. Man City had already qualified for UCL so Stoke got a place in the Europa League.
@@khal6400 yeah i know, still impressive, it’s stoke😂
and we won our group too
Why did the interviewer pull him away from Fuller? That was the highlight reel.
Great show
A proper gentleman.
class!!!!!
Interesting to look at his head to head record against Wenger.
You better change that title in the Thumbnail before Don Robbie catches up with you...
The story about the legend that is Ricardo Fuller is hilarious…. 🔴⚪️🔴⚪️
Quality
Tony Pulis must have played rugby as a kid because it showed in his football teams!
Yeah his teams would have scared the shit out of a puff like you 😂
. 👑 king Tony mowbray 👑.
We went Wembley in 2000 tony
Does this interviewer think Pep was manager of City back in 2011??? 😂
topman
Imagine your whole management career being encapsulated by a long throw in. Absolute misery.
Far more to that team than long throw in's!
How this guy still hasn't been approached by clubs is a joke ,simply one of the greatest managers the prem has ever seen.
Nonsense
Same as Gerard Houllier , why wouldn't you approach these legends
As he has said himself he’s older now and football management has moved on from his style.
Going a bit overboard there 🤣🤣
@@Anfielddisciple - Gerard Houllier died in 2020.
Is there anything the interviewer won’t laugh at?
Let’s have some more agree to disagrees!
Poor from you Rory. Mancini was manager for City in 2011
Yeh just got up to that bit. How can you get that so wrong 🤣
