Aiden McGeady claims Lee Johnson had players dodging KNIFE ATTACKS in bizarre training session

Aiden McGeady claims his former manager Lee Johnson had his players dodging KNIFE ATTACKS in a rather bizarre training session.

Johnson, who had previously managed Oldham, Barnsley, Bristol City, Sunderland, Hibernian and Fleetwood, had an unusual way of doing things it seems, including the involvement of a former SAS member who conducted drills with the team in preparation for the upcoming season.

Aiden McGeady, who rather like unique approaches, provided some insight into his unconventional training techniques when talking about Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, after his latest drill involved pickpockets stealing from his players in training.

Now this you’ve got to gave a listen to…

Johnson decided his players were due a visit from an ex-SAS member to get them in shape ahead of the new season, and what happened next left McGeady and his team-mates stunned.

McGeady told Open Goal: “Lee Johnson did one a couple of season ago when we were at Hibs.

“We had a session and were told just to come out with our trainers on.

“He whips over the guy who was like an ex-SAS, bodyguard Marine and we had to do dodging knife attacks.

“No word of a lie. He put you with somebody you didn’t really speak to and I was with this young lad.

“He started off with a few different activities and then 1t finished with dodging knife attacks.

“He was saying ‘use your momentum, but come for me’ and then deflect his elbow away.

“Basically everyone was just absolutely puzzled as to what was going on.”
