Lilly or Robbie?
Savage came to Crewe from Manchester United youths playing in the same teams as the likes of Giggs and Beckham but it was never going to work out and Ferguson didn't believe in his ability to become a proffesional footballer. Dario gradi though did. After Wales massive victory over Italy the spot light has fallen upon Welsh players and in the November edition of FourFourTwo - the leading Football magazine - an interview with Welsh battler Savage shows he still loves the Alex...
"I always believed in my own ability and think I'd have made it wherever I went. Crewe was the best place to go at that time. Obviously Dario Gradi had the fantastic knack of turning outcasts into great players. I've got a lot to thank Crewe for. I love Crewe.
"Neil Baker, who was assistant manager there, deserves a lot of credit. I spent a lot of time playing for him in the A team and he always said: "You'll be all right, you'll be all right" For two years I wasn't in the first team. I was with him."
