EUROPEAN Cup medal winner Tony Morley would love the chance to make a second encore in Hong Kong football, but only if given dual coaching and playing duties with a top club.
The vastly experienced and well-travelled former England international has been firing his CV out to football associations and federations around the world and says he wants the chance to put his personal coaching philosophy to work.
'I think I'd still be fairly well known in Hong Kong because I was very successful there as a player,' he said from England yesterday.
'I enjoyed my times out there before and I know what the lifestyle is like. But it would have to be for one of the best teams, otherwise it would be like banging your head against a brick wall.' Morley, 39, a pacy left-winger in his heyday, tasted the heights of English League, European Cup and Super Cup glory with Aston Villa in the early 1980s.
His speedy raids down the wing made him an exciting member of the League champion side of 1981 and the European Cup winners of the following year when they beat Bayern Munich 1-0 in Rotterdam.
But for the past decade he has been a 'have boots will travel' professional whose talents have taken him to four different continents.
After Villa he played with West Bromwich Albion before embarking on the footballing odyssey which took him to Holland, Australia and the US as well as Hong Kong.
