Sam Allardyce Reveals He Once Scouted David Moyes

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce has revealed that he once scouted current Manchester United boss David Moyes back when he was playing for Dunfermline.

Allardyce, who was then a youth coach at Preston, drove up to Scotland to see Moyes play for Dunfermline in a match against Falkirk back in 1993.

Despite being sent off for handball in the first half, Allardyce reccommended the player to then Preston manager John Beck.

The pressure on under-fire manager Moyes was slightly relieved this week as United turned around a two goal defecit to progress 3-2 on aggregate in their last 16 clash with Olympiakos. The Red Devils face a tricky clash with West Ham at Upton Park this weekend, with Allardyce's team winning their last three home games.
