I NEVER saw The Clash play live. I was just 10 when the band sacked Mick Jones but if I could go back in time and had the choice of seeing any band from any era or any country play, I’d pick The Clash. Every time. On Saturday night, I didn’t quite go back in time but...

LAST week on The Anfield Wrap you may have stumbled across a piece I wrote about how I’d somehow fallen out of love with trainers; how these days I’m more likely to go out and buy a pair of suede Clarks Originals than the latest ‘must-have’...

I’M not quite sure when it happened but at some point over the last three or four years, I gradually fell out of love with buying new trainers. Even writing that feels weird because for as long as I can remember, I’ve loved – and I mean loved –...

I LIKE Noel Gallagher. I once interviewed him on the phone about Manchester City when I worked on the kids football magazine MATCH! sometime around 1994 when Oasis were just starting out. He was pretty funny then and totally down to earth. 17 years on, I don’t...
