Former Manchester United star Mark Hughes had little sympathy for the under-fire Wayne Rooney while he reminisced on how Sir Alex Ferguson kept his charges in check.
Allegations of heavy drinking while on England duty have rocked the Three Lions and United captain, who made a public apology after the episode came to light.
And Hughes recalled that the ex-United boss used methods that brought to mind the old KGB to make sure players were behaving.
"You know very quickly if someone has been out, there are very few secrets in the world," the Stoke City manager told reporters.
