Tony takes it easy

Ever wondered why Tony Mowbray is so calm during matches?

Well wonder no more.

You've seen it before. The players are out on the pitch, the coaching staff have emerged out of the tunnel, the mascots have had their picture taken with the captains, the referee has tossed the coin, the teams swap ends...but still no Mowbray.

Just as the game is about to kick-off, out comes the Baggies boss.

There's no ranting and raving at his players - just the occasional comment to a fourth official.

It seems the Baggies boss listens to a spot of Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin before games, just to help him unwind.

Mind you there's none of that for the players, as Mowbray explains.

"I sit and listen to Frank, a bit of Dean...it's soothing music really.

"The players don't hear it and it's not the serene mood I want them in. But it helps relax my mind."

With Uriah Rennie set to take charge this Saturday, Mowbray may need to listen to Sinatra's entire back catalogue.

*We all know that Stuart Pearce likes to listen to the Stranglers and that Martin O'Neill is partial to a bit of Jethro Tull.

Can anyone think of any appropriate songs for other managers?
