Tony Adams is still relishing his Azerbaijan adventure

Tony Adams hardly made the most auspicious of starts. Thousands of miles from home and in a tiny town that he surely had not heard of at the beginning of last year, he watched his ticket to managerial redemption threaten to flutter away. After three matches of the Azerbaijani league season, Gabala FC had failed to pick up a point.The reaction in England was predictable.

If there had been general incomprehension that Adams, the former Arsenal and England titan, had signed an initial three-year contract at a footballing outpost, then it moved to derision in some quarters.
