WHEN I’m asked to write these pieces on old matches there’s usually a process which takes place in my mind. Firstly, I’m tempted to tell the lads that I’m not old enough to remember a particular game and they’ve got me confused with those who remember Billy Liddell...

SATURDAY I was playing cornet with the brass band at a steam train festival before heading up to the disco festival. That is a funny sentence, isn’t it? I sometimes think my life is wandering from one unusual thing to another. Slightly late. They were both fun,...
