"I've known Mick a long time from our Third Division days when we were rivals, but I'm looking forward to seeing him and pitting my wits," said Cotterill, speaking to Burnley's official web-site.
It is not just Micky Adams that Cotterill knows,the Clarets boss is a former Wimbledon player who knows Alan Cork and Dennis Wise. Micky and Corky are completely different characters, which is probably what you need, they are both good lads too and I know Corky from way back.
"There is Adrian Heath there as well and I'm looking forward to seeing them all and I've no doubt we'll enjoy a glass of wine after the game.
"Dennis Wise's had a magnificent career and he's a good player, always has been.
"People say he's a good player now, but you should have seen him a few years ago in his time at Wimbledon and Chelsea, he's had a magnificent career.
"We're just hoping he gets a manager's job before Saturday!"
