Fabio's Impossible Job
Do you remember the Graham Taylor documentary 'The Impossible Job'? The then England boss, in a move borne of either extreme naivety or rock solid confidence that we'd qualify, agreed to allow cameras to follow him during the 1994 qualification process with fascinating results.
Well, here's a glimpse into what would happen if Fabio Capello agreed to the same thing..
A Spanish TV channel employed a lip reader to make sense of Capello's volcanic touchline eruptions - and discovered that even Stuart Pearce is submissive round the England boss. A fascinating (and hilarious) insight into what makes the Italian tick - and is there a little hint of humour from Don Fabio in there too...?
Brilliant, isn't it? Quite apart from the fact that Capello obviously cares it also cements Pearce's place in the rich history of submissive England assistant managers.
Have a look from about 3 minutes and 26 seconds of this famous clip (warning: not safe for work!),,,
