A player of style playing in a great team , a different era all together I'm afraid. I suspect many players of that period laugh at todays antics RIP Eddie another gone but there's always the memory. |  |

Nine months later John Toshack was brought in as player manager and history was made. |  | |  |

Was he sacked by Chelsea or did they just accept his resignation over the lack of a company car? They had just won promotion back to the top flight. |  | |  |
| Eddie Mcreadie on 07:08 - Jan 16 with 230 views | glanmORJa_k | Following his sacking there was a backlash from the fans and despite the chairman at the time offering him his job back Eddie declined and within a short time left for the USA. In between he was offered the Swans manager job by Swans chairman Malcolm Struel. |  | |  |
