Becomes hard to remember all our ex-coaches working for all our ex-managers. Speaking of Cheltenham, Martin Allen's brief time at QPR: His arrival never announced by the club. His departure never announced by the club.
Legend Flowers helping Cheltenham Town's goalkeepers

FORMER England star Tim Flowers has been coaching Cheltenham Town's goalkeepers on a part-time basis.
The 43-year-old won 11 caps for his country and tasted the high life with top-flight club Blackburn Rovers, where he won the Premier League in 1995.
Flowers, who also played for Southampton and Wolves, was goalkeeping coach at Leicester City and Manchester City before he became manager Iain Dowie's assistant at Coventry City in 2007.
He was recently at QPR, again working as Dowie's assistant, but he was sacked in October 2008 after just 15 games in charge.
Flowers has been mentoring the goalkeepers at Robins boss Mark Yates' former club Kidderminster Harriers, but he has coached Cheltenham's Scott Brown, Will Puddy and Joe Perry for the last two Thursdays.
Cheltenham have been without a goalkeeping coach since Barry Richardson left in a cost-cutting measure last month.
Richardson, Alan Fettis and Pat Mountain have all looked after the goalkeeping department in recent seasons, but Flowers arrives with the most impressive pedigree.
"He is an absolute legend," said Brown.
"He has been in for the last two Thursdays and it's been brilliant, but I am not sure it it's going to be a permanent arrangement.
"Thanks for the gaffer for getting him in and if you can't learn from him you can't learn from anyone.
"He is down to earth and if you want to ask him anything he really wants to help, so if it's only going to be for two sessions he has been brilliant."
Brown is at a loss to explain Cheltenham's poor home form after their third straight defeat the Abbey Stadium against Burton Albion on Tuesday night.
"It's difficult to say why we can't seem to perform at home," he said.
"People can say the crowd don't get behind us, but we are not really giving them anything to shout about.
"We need them to stay
