Joe Makin took Foden to Reddish Vulcans, his first junior team, and helped set him on the path to become a five-time Premier League champion
The chap on the next table does not sound too happy. It is derby day in Manchester. It has been a masterclass and, in a bar heavily populated by United fans, the blame game has started. “This is your fault, Joe, that he’s playing for City not United,” he says. “You’ve ruined my day. Foden… bloody hell. Best player on the pitch by a mile. You’ve got a lot to answer for.” Joe Makin smiles back.
And, in Makin’s position, how can you even begin to describe all the pride and other emotions attached to such a beautifully delivered equaliser? Advertisement “That was a Reddish Vulcans goal,” Makin explained afterwards. “Get the ball, move it to the side with the outside of your foot and you get that extra space. You don’t have to go past a player, you just go level, then you can get your shot away. You ping it outside the far post to bend in and finish inside it.
