CRAIG LEVEIN SCOUTING IN MIDLANDS

Sat next to Scotland manager Craig Levein at the Birmingham-Aston Villa match.I knew Craig in his days as Leicester City manager.Craig took in West Bromwich Albion-Blackpool the previous day.It was good to spend some time with him again.The Blues-Villa match was ok and 1-1 was a fair result.Birmingham goalie Ben Foster currently has the same builder as myself,Geoff Beck.When working at Ben's house the day after his mistake at West Ham in the Carling Cup semi-final first leg they decided not to mention it.After an hour Ben said"Ok lets get it over with"..Geoff said" I wanted to make you a cup of tea but I thought you might drop it!"..Foster took it well and the building works are continuing!
