7 Instances when Managers and Players Answered the Phone at a Press Conference

3) Sean Dyche

Burnley boss Sean Dyche was answering a few questions following a 2-1 win over Leeds United when a journalist’s phone rang. Dyche has a look around and says, “That's a fine if someone's phone is ringing,” before proceeding to answer the call.

“This is Sean Dyche, manager of Burnley,” he says into the phone and reiterates himself probably because the person on the other end of the line didn’t believe him.

“There’s a phone on my table and I’m actually doing an interview and you rang to disturb me. So I decided to answer it to see what you were disturbing me about.”

It turns out that it was former Fulham player Kieran Richardson’s father and Dyche even asks him his plans for the evening. Top man!
