14 Things Newcastle Fans Need To Know About Ian Cathro
4. He Only Took One Pair Of Jeans To Valencia... And Borrowed His Underwear From The Training Ground Because He Was So Dedicated To Getting The Job Right
In an article in The Times in November 2014, Rory Smith told an anecdote about Cathro that is, quite frankly, bizarre. After arriving in Valencia, it took Cathro an entire three months to unpack his suitcase - and he bought just a solitary pair of jeans to wear. What's more, so low on underwear and socks was Cathro due to his failure to unpack his luggage he even had to borrow them from the Valencia training ground supply room. Lovely and hygienic... Maybe he could borrow a pair of Remy Cabella's at Newcastle?
