A little over a decade ago, Brentford head coach Keith Andrews spent a season on loan at Brighton & Hove Albion. The Republic of Ireland midfielder had been deemed surplus to requirements at Bolton Wanderers and played one more season after his year with the Seagulls before jumping into a coaching career. Ten years on, Andrews is in his first head coach role and overseeing a surprisingly smooth transition in a post-Thomas Frank world.

One afternoon a few years back, we found ourselves, via a mutual acquaintance, in a friendly fourball with Keith Andrews in Portmarnock (no, not the real one).

A managerial appointment in the Premier League has reopened old wounds between the famous bruisers Now that Noel and Liam Gallagher have buried the hatchet - at least until they get round to banking the proceeds from the Oasis reunion tour - the bad blood between Eamon Dunphy and Roy Keane may well be the last, best and longest-running celebrity feud.

Caoimhín Kelleher expressed that he has heard he is the best No 2 goalkeeper in the Premier League and appreciates the compliment, but he wants to become a No 1 goalkeeper. He emphasized that he has played significantly over the past two seasons and sees this as an important step in his career, aiming to demonstrate his capabilities as a No 1.
