Very interesting snippet here about how Cox, Tardelli and Roy Hodgson from todays Examiner.
It was Tardelli who scouted one of the success stories of the last few games, the West Brom striker Simon Cox — with, as it turns out, more than a little help from the club manager.
"I saw him and I spoke also with Roy Hodgson and asked about him. He told me he is a good player, he is skilful, he works very hard for the team and he is a good boy. It was the first time a manager rang me and told me whether a player would play or not before a game, so I went to watch him and he played well. We have a good group now but we hope we can still find other players like him."
