Swerve back at ER as Chief Scout
Leeds have announced that former keeper Mervyn Day has returned to the club and taken up a role as chief scout.
Day was a vital part of the promotion winning side of 1990 and made in total 268 appearances for the club and he has re-joined as part of a re-structure of the scouting department that will see him working for technical director Gwyn Williams.
Simon Grayson said: "We're re-structuring the scouting department under Gwyn and Mervyn will be both producing match reports and watching our opposition, and working on the recruitment of players.
"Merv's knowledge and experience will prove important to the football club as we look to progress and develop what we are doing.
"Like with myself and Glynn Snodin, his time here as a player means that he knows and understands the club and knows what it takes to keep driving the club forward."
Morning CeeJay.

Let's hope he's learnt that the average pitch isn't 250 yards wide since he was last with us.

I don't think he's after the No1 shirt this time though.

He could still do a good job.
And with those wing backs we had back then the pitch could have been 250 miles wide
Listen, punk. To me you're nothin' but dogshit, you understand? And a lot of things can happen to dogshit. It can be scraped up with a shovel off the ground. It can dry up and blow away in the wind. Or it can be stepped on and squashed. So take my advice and be careful where the dog shits ya!

I always thought he was a good keeper, saw him make one of the best saves ever, down at Brighton I think it was.

Re: Swerve back at ER as Chief Scout
When I was editing and later publishing LLL magazine only two people treated us and consequently like shit. One was Harry Kewell who wouldn't come outside for a photo-shoot with all the other lads from down under. the other was Mervyn Day who made our writer wait for ages at Charlton's training ground and then in the end decided he couldn't be arsed doing the interview and just fucked off.

Re: Swerve back at ER as Chief Scout
My Dad, when he was on the groundstaff at ER - over 20 years - would tell me which players were moody sods or downright rude ones. too many to mention but he never had a bad word to say about Merv. Of the newer generation, the best known good lad as far as my dad was concerned, was Gary Kelly.
Must admit, Merv has always looked a bit up his own arris though
