Nathan Jones

[d3d4]

Hi all,

I had the pleasure of talking to the Luton manager Nathan Jones today. During the interview, he talks about his three years at Roots Hall under Alan Little.

Hope you enjoy.

Having seen "Skippy" as we called him play for us loads of times , when i got to actually play against him in the SUSC v SUFC match of 1999 , i was so confident that because i knew exactly what he was going to do , i would be able to stop him when he did his little step over shuffle move .

So late in the 1st half i saw him legging it down the left wing with the ball on his left foot. I came across knowing full well what was coming next ..... then in a split second as i dived in with my perfect tackle , he dropped his shoulder and his skippy stepover thingy was so quick , so sharp , so brilliantly executed that he was away down the wing while i was sliding on my backside on the turf. I couldnt believe it and we had a laugh at my expense !!!!

Sometimes you just gotta take your hat off and say " Unbelievable Tekkers !!!! "

Going to be appointed the new Stoke boss in the next 24hrs.

At least Luton saw it coming and protected them selves (financially)

 

[mattitouk]

Confirmed he has signed on their os:

(I think i read somewhere it was a 3 and a half year deal)

Good luck Nathan, liked him as a player, and followed his managerial progress with interest

Lets hope Luton massively struggle now. Good luck to Jonesy!!

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

I hope there's a player revolt there so we can step in and sign Sonny Bradley, who we were after in the Summer but Luton pipped us

 

[Ricey]

Sonny Bradley and Taylor Moore as a centre back pairing would be epic!

 

[danburyshrimper]

Lets hope his 1st job is to give us Crouchie

[MK Shrimper]

That went well then.

 

[cerbera45]

fwiw I can't blame him for taking on a bigger job/club at Stoke.

 

[Ailsa Road Shrimper]

Surprised he has returned, thought they hated him.

 

[Dave Smiths Love Child]

Surprised he has returned, thought they hated him.

Not as hated as the last three Southend managers even before they managed a game at Roots Hall

 

[cerbera45]

Pretty good start in his second spell.

 

[Evening Echo]

FORMER Southend United defender Nathan Jones was a relieved man after guiding Luton Town to a play-off place in the Championship by beating Reading 1-0 at Kenilworth Road.
