WHAT a week. What a gang of lads. What a set of Reds. Did you have a little cry? I know I did. 4-3 and I am full of joy, that angry joy, that ‘stitch that’ joy, that joy unconfined, that joy that is the language of heaven with the noise of hell, that joy...

THIRTY ONE years ago today. The 1985 FA Cup semi-final. Probably the most raw, intense atmosphere and drama I have ever experienced. I doubt it will ever be beaten. I’m not sure I even want it surpassed for it belongs in a different age when, pre-Heysel and...

I HAVEN’T written anything on here for a couple of weeks. I’d love to think you’ve missed me but my ego’s not quite that rampant. My ego is, in fact, non-rampant enough to have looked at the stuff on the site and gone, ‘yeah, was going to...

DORTMUND holds a special place in my heart, as I’m sure it does for many others around my age. My first European final in 2001, the club’s first since 1985, and a crazy day and night where it lashed down and there were an improbable number of goals...
