Allardyce lets fly over Trapattoni’s ‘disgusting’ Reid injury remarks

BLACKBURN manager Sam Allardyce has launched an astonishing attack on Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni, labelling the Italian’s comments about Steven Reid “disgusting”.

Last week Trapattoni suggested Reid would struggle to ever fully recover from the knee injury that has restricted him to just two Carling Cup appearances in the last 13 months.

Yesterday Allardyce called on Trapattoni to publicly apologise to Reid and Blackburn for his remarks.
