Wade Elliott has revealed the huge influence Steve Cotterill had on his managerial career during their highly successful time together at Bristol City.
Elliott goes up against his former boss in the dugout for the first time on Saturday when his Cheltenham Town side host Cotterill's Shrewsbury Town in their League One encounter.
The ex-City midfielder followed Cotterill from Burnley to the Robins, initially on loan in January 2014 before making the temporary switch a permanent one at the end of the season. Elliott was appointed captain and the duo helped guide City to a famous double as they sealed a return to the Championship while also lifting the Football League Trophy.
