'He kicked people and he planted the elbow in my face as we played': Paul Ince's bizarre managerial methods revealed by Blackburn legend Morten Gamst Pedersen

Blackburn Rovers legend Morten Gamst Pedersen has given a rare insight into the wild days under Paul Ince at Ewood Park, in which the players were pushed to the edge by the ex-midfield general.

Ince took the reins at Blackburn in 2008 as replacement for Mark Hughes, as the club then looked to build on its rising Premier League status. Things, however, would not go to plan.

After winning just three games in his first 17 as manager Ince was sacked after just six months in charge. That spell, it would emerge, was a whirlwind for many of the players involved.
