UPCOMING SEASON

YET ANOTHER UNITED MANAGER Who would have thought when Sir Alex Ferguson hung up his Hair Dryer that three or four years on (how time crawls at Old Trafford) that after employing another one of his countrymen David Moyes and then a nailed on certainty in LVG from wherever he received such [...]

MICK CHANNON “THE KEY”

KEY TO LIFE.... No, it's not that brilliant Stevie Wonder album that smashed all records, no pun intended, but my old England Under-23 and full international team-mate Mick Channon, who played under as many managers as I did in a rather stormy career - not Mick but me. Mick was a [...]

THE TWO RONNIES

He must be going into coaching/management once his playing days are over, as his touchline activities showed the other 'face' of Cristiano Ronaldo last night. As Harry Enfield said, it wasn't Jimmy Greaves, "It's a funny old game" and that was how it turned out in the final as the Portugal captain made the fatal [...]

THE FINAL CURTAIN

AND NOW THE END IS NEAR.... And some say "thank goodness for that" mainly because of England's repeated disappointment, although it seems that those uninspiring millionaires don't seem to be so concerned as they 'sun it' on faraway beaches. Yeah, of course they need the rest...are you kidding? The best football team are out due [...]

ALAN HINTON Part 1

The first two sentences Alan. Sums the player up perfectly. I liked Alan Hinton. He's mentioned a few times in SAM and ITV 7. Played for England a couple of times in the mid-sixties even though Ramsey supposedly hated wingers. There's a great story in my book regarding the other AH coming to [...]

THE MIGHTY MIDGET

COLEMAN DID NOT READ MY BLOG It seems that Welsh manager Chis Coleman did not read my latest Blog as to him making just one mistake in his history making European Championships finals, and even if he had he would not have changed his selection. Their outstanding player (footballer) was Jonny [...]

COLEMAN IS MUSTARD

COLEMAN IS HOTTER THAN ENGLISH MUSTARD Talk about do everything right, that's Chris Coleman, the man who goes about his business in a very modest way, playing success down (rather like Tony Pulis) maintaining relegation is priority so players don't get ahead of themselves. Yeah, nobody expected Coleman to take his [...]

ALL SET UP FOR DREAM FINAL……..

Why not? Wales against Iceland the two big outsiders who have not only got through but deserved it. Sometimes in cup competitions teams reach the final stages through a little luck here and there, which does not apply here, if you ignore Gareth Bales two free-kicks where both keepers were not only unsighted [...]
