Gareth Ainsworth will never have to give a more heart-wrenching team talk than his farewell speech at Wycombe Wanderers.
After 550 matches in charge of the Chairboys, Ainsworth gathered his players in a meeting room and announced he was quitting his game of thrones for Queen's Park Rangers, where he was revered as a player. And parting was such sweet sorrow for the League's longest-serving manager.
Ainsworth, 49, was moved to tears and he admitted: “It was absolutely the hardest speech I've ever had to make. Going into that room I thought I would be OK, but after the amount of memories we made, and the episodes we've been through together, it was like leaving a family.
