Joe Royal was the Manchester City manager when in 1998 the club paid £300,000 to bring Australia born midfielder Danny Tiatto to Maine Road. Over a six-year period, the Socceroo made over well over 130 City appearances before Leicester City came along and snapped him up on a free in 2004. But, whatever happened to him?
Throughout his footballing career, Danny had the habit of diving some of his managers to disappear, especially Joe. Prone to indiscipline and never far from a dressing room row Tiatto and some of his colleagues were, often or not being dressed down for alleged excessive drinking.
