Ex-England boss Sam Allardyce dreams of playing a Mafia crime boss in a Martin Scorsese movie
EX-England boss Sam Allardyce wants to be a Mafia boss in the next Martin Scorsese movie.
Big Sam, 65, who quit the Three Lions after one game in 2016, chose the director as a dream dinner party guest.
Sir Winston Churchill, boxing legend Muhammad Ali and his old pal Sir Alex Ferguson would make up the numbers.
He wanted Churchill for an “end-of-dinner cigar and brandy”, Ali “to read poetry” and Sir Alex for “red wine”.
He explained of Scorsese: “I’d convince him I should be in his next film as a hard-nosed villain, someone from the Mafia.”
But he added during an Oxford Union speech: “I never got into the Sopranos, it never grasped me.
"It took me two years to get Peaky Blinders.
"I like the Godfather so I should get into it.”
"I like the Godfather so I should get into it.”
But Allardyce, who managed a record seven Premier League clubs, said he would struggle with scripts as he is dyslexic.
He resigned as England boss after he appeared to advise undercover reporters on how to “get around” rules on certain transfers.
