Sorry to remind you of this man's existence... But John Carver, who was once Sir Bobby Robson's assistant manager, you know, has a rich and storied history when it comes to the links between United and the United States. Newcastle's worst manager in living memory managed MLS side Toronto FC, current home of former Sunderland man 'Dozy' Jozy Altidore, between February 2008 and April 2009. In his 40 games at the Reds' helm, Geordie John could only manage 12 wins which saw him eventually step down from his position, citing personal reasons for his decision. Paul Winsper, who was Newcastle's fitness coach between 1996-2006, was Carver's Strength and Conditioning Coach in the MLS and provides another link between The Magpies and America.
