DEFENDING things like this always come with a caveat so here it is. Throwing bottles in the street is not a good thing. I’m dead against it. Presumably apart from the lads who were doing it, we all are. I’m less concerned about the safety of the Manchester City coach...
WHEN you’re growing up, footballers are magical. That hasn’t changed regardless of generation. One day, when I was 17, I was at Anfield buying a ticket to a game when I spotted Craig Johnston in the car park. At that age you’re far too aloof to do the whole fan thing,...
