▪️ Unkept promises ▪️ Team mate wanted to 'knock him out' ▪️ Clashed with Ron Atkinson Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave Man United, but he has nothing on Pierre van Hooijdonk at Nottingham Forest NFFC
He eventually did return, not that his teammates cared, in a clash with rivals Derby County.
Van Hooijdonk also clashed with next manager Ron Atkinson, although this time proceedings were a little more jovial.Atkinson was reaching the end of his time as top level coach and getting in the wrong dugout against Arsenal saw him widely mocked “Later that afternoon, Ron called me at home to come and see him in his office. He was smiling and said: ‘I liked your joke. A couple more games are left, you can leave after that, just give your best’.
England ace Stone would later reflect on the incident, admitting he may have seemed a touch harsh, but he emphasised how much the whole dressing room was disappointed.“I think he’d been with the World Cup squad that summer, he’d seen some big players threre, on big wages at big clubs and Pierre was at Forest so he just wanted to get on with it and go somewhere else and play for a better team.“Maybe I shouldn’t have been as vocal as I was about Pierre.
