WHAT is a captain? Is he someone who scores goals no matter where he plays? Is she a player who never shuts up, constantly barking orders at her team mates? Maybe someone who calmly, but quietly, leads by example? Or can it be any combination of the above and more,...
IT is an oft-used analogy when a football team is not quite playing up to their usual standard that they are in “first gear”, or “have the handbrake on”, or even “are driving with one thumb on the wheel and the other thumb up their arse”. That last one may have only...
