Beck and Peters both, more so than any other manager(s) sinceHe certainly understood connection between fans and players, and the potential contribution of home fans.

It has always been a mystery to me why, after a player has gone off injured, managers seem quite content to play on with 10 men for seemingly ages whilst the coaches shuffle through reams of paper with the replacement. About the only time they wouldn't would be if it was the keeper I guess.Alas different era when fans went onto Deepdale 'hoping' for a good result despite the tactics on show.
Fast forward to now and the ground is full of tactical experts and player performance analysers who spend 90min filling up their notebooks for future reference.

I think the look on the oncoming subs face and the preening involved to look acceptable tells you all you need to know about whether he's paying attention to the claptrap he's being fed.
Much prefer the simple phrases like, 'get on there and make a fookin difference' , 'go get yourself fucking a goal' or 'put that flash bastard on his arse sharpish' as instructed on a regular basis on Waverley or Grange Park back in the day.
Where is he now? I'd love a meeting with him.

Showing my age, Alan Ball was my first.Beck's my first proper manager, I'm very lucky my nobberism coincided with this man in charge 👍🏻
Bobby Seith was mine - 1967...Showing my age, Alan Ball was my first.
I went to my first match when he was in charge, we got beat 2-1 by Cardiff. Alan Ball was my first regular though.Bobby Seith was mine - 1967...
My first match was Preston v Blackpool - I thought it was 1967 but I am sure that when I checked recently it was 68/69 season...I went to my first match when he was in charge, we got beat 2-1 by Cardiff. Alan Ball was my first regular though.
