		Dario Gradi has set a benchmark which all lower league clubs want to aspire to, especially in a time when money plays such a large part in the game.
		Dario's skill with young players is what most people recognise him for but for me it his single minded determination to play football 'as it should be'.
		Dario didn't flap, he simply said it's a long season, this is the right way to play so we are going to stick to it.

		Dario Gradi is ready to rival the likes of Chelsea, Man Utd, Man City and Tottenham for the signings of several lower league hot-shots.
		Gradi, however, did concede that it is unlikely that Crewe will be able to match the financial muscle of these teams as he aims to add quality to the squad.
		Gradi revealed that the club "went to watch Halford at Colchester on Saturday." The right-back is widely tipped to be interesting Man Utd and Tottenham who are both believed to be weighing up whether or not to make an offer in January.

	Clayton Ince
		At the tail-end of his six-year stint with the team, Clayton’s contract was due to expire at the end of the 2004-2005 season, and manager Dario Gradi was indecisive about whether to keep the tall goalie in the squad or not, due to the fact that Crewe were fighting a relegation battle.
		Manager Dario Gradi has already gone on record as saying that he feels Ince is one of the finest goalkeepers he has worked with and claims that he has never seen a better goalkeeper come for crosses.
		After the arrival of Williams Dario Gradi revealed he would hold talks with Ince, the clubs Player-of-the-Season in 2002/03, about his future, and was delighted when the former Defence Force man signalled his intention to stay.

	Football \| Gradi train still stopped at Crewe
		He told me we were going to get relegated, that we would have to sell a few players and that he wanted the club in the top half of the table the next season.
		Gradi, 60 years old this summer but easily able to pass for a man 10 years younger, made sure he knew the parameters when he joined Crewe, then in the old Fourth Division and having had seven managers in 10 years.
		The bespectacled Gradi, never lost for words, and his timing honed by a hundred interviews this week for television, radio and newspapers, paused for dramatic effect: "I ended up here." And so the legend began, with Gradi producing quality players including, among the most recent, Liverpool's Danny Murphy.

		Gradi may not be one of European football's highest-profile coaches but just like Guy Roux at AJ Auxerre, he commands huge respect among his peers, having consistently thrived on a shoestring budget for 22 years at Gresty Road, making him England's longest serving manager.
		Oddly, Gradi has no great desire to take his side up the next step to the Premiership, saying: "When you look at the clubs who go up to the Premiership, they invariably go straight down again.
		Rarely working less than 70 or 80 hours a week, Gradi's classes success as drawing in the occasional big transfer fee, like the €4.5m the club received from Norwich City FC in the winter transfer window for striker Dean Ashton.

		I'm referring to Dario Gradi, the manager of Crewe Alexandra, who arrived at Gresty Road 21 years ago when Fergie was still cutting his managerial teeth north of the border.
		Gradi, on the other hand, found a very different type of club waiting for him when he arrived in this neck of the woods from London three years ahead of Fergie after losing his job at Crystal Palace.
		They were just some of the unwanted youngsters who Gradi took under his wing who went on to become international or top-flight stars.
