FANS OF FOOTBALL fashion have been left with precious few beacons to follow in recent seasons.
For a long time, Jose Mourinho was the shining light to follow. But his experience at Real Madrid tore at his soul until his elegant touchline-prowling, coat and scarf-sporting silhouette was replaced with a disheveled man in a tracksuit, flip-flops and socks.
Well, thanks to last night’s Capital One Cup action, a new heir to the title of English football’s most dapper gaffer has emerged.

The name Keith Curle usually leads us to think wistfully back to the mid-90s Manchester City team that included Niall Quinn, Alan Kernaghan and Terry Phelan.
These days, Curle is over a decade in to management and was on Sky Sports News this morning to gloat about his League Two Carlisle United side’s 2 – 1 win over QPR in last night’s League Cup second round.

He gloated in so much style though! Look at that tweed jacket, crisp shirt. Look at those Les Kiss / Jurgen Klopp-style sports nerd spectacles to contrast his curly grey hair.
We’re sure to see more of Curle’s class in the near future too as Carlisle were rewarded with a trip to Anfield in the third round draw.
Is there a better dressed man or manager in English football?
