FORMER IRELAND DEFENDER Liam Daish is now in charge of Blue Square Bet Premier Division side Ebbsfleet. And it sounds like a tough job.
The one-time Birmingham City skipper revealed today that his side’s 600-plus-mile trip for a game with Barrow took over 24 hours… because of a baked beans spillage on the motorway.
“I’m not full of beans at the moment,” the former Birmingham defender told BBC Radio 5 live. “It was unbelievable. We just got really snagged up in traffic. First, we got caught on the M25. Then the second jam was caused by baked beans; you couldn’t make it up.
“I live on the south coast, and I left my house at 8:30am to get to Kent to join up with the squad. We travelled through the night to get back, and I walked through my front door at about 08:30. I’ve been on the go for 24 hours.”
And the game? Ebbsfleet drew the game and remain four points from safety.
