Favorite soccer team: Leeds United.  Second favourite: Leeds United Reserves
If I could change one rule, I'd: Introduce an ‘offside line’ 25 yards from goal.  No offside nearer to your own goal than this line.  It would work like the current half-way line in relation to offside, and would open up play considerably, giving more space available to attackers.
Best thing about working at USA: Opportunity to coach a wide range of players, from 3 years upwards
Favorite aspect of coaching: Seeing in the players a sense of collective achievement that comes from success on the soccer field
Best moment in coaching: Seeing a player ‘get it’
Best moment I've ever witnessed live at a sporting event is:
Leeds United clinching English Premier League at Bramall Lane, Sheffield April 26th, 1992.  Leeds beat Sheffield United 3-2
If i wasn't coaching soccer I'd be: Sailing (or skiing)
