From Mark Wards book, Ward played in the famous 85-86 team where we nearly won the leage btw  yes really  , also been in prison for drug trafficing iirc
Paul Ince was a cocky young kid. I liked that in a player… He was nowhere near the hardman he portrayed himself to be. Once, after an argument over a game of cards on the team bus, Paul came running to me with a bloody lip. “Wardy, David Kelly has just punched me in the mouth. What should I do?” I was shocked, as Kelly was the last man you would think of punching anybody. I told Paul he should have given him a dig back.
Alvin [Martin] put him in his place in the old fashioned way. We were getting beaten on the plastic pitch at Luton and Alvin barked at Incey to keep it simple. To which the petulent, young midfielder retaliated with “Fuck off, you Scouse c**t.” I heard him say it and thought, ‘You’ve overstepped the mark there, Paul’.
The whistle blew for half time… Paul was just in front of me walking up the tunnel when a big hand pushed me to one side. Alvin grabbed Incey and held him up against the wall. Unbelievably, he then head-butted Incey right in the face and let him fall to the floor. “Don’t ever speak like that to me again,” Alvin told him.
Paul picked himself up and we all sat waiting for John to give his half time team tak. Incey was crying and John asked what had gone on. Alvin said, “Don’t worry, John. It’s sorted.”
I just hope Paul remembers his own attitude when he was young and can become the successful manager he hopes to be

I read the last bit and looked at the date, hoping to see anything before his antics at Blackburn, was not to be.
