BOB Paisley led Liverpool out at Wembley for the last time as the Reds took on Manchester United in the Milk Cup final 32 years ago today. 17-year-old Norman Whiteside gave Ron Atkinson’s United a 12th-minute lead in front of a crowd of 99,000, controlling a...
I WAS wondering how I would cope, writes ANTHONY WHITE. Until Steven Gerrard came out and apologised and took “full responsibility” for the defeat against Manchester United I was wondering how, as a late thirties relatively well-adjusted man, I was going...
BLANK was the greatest manager blank never had. Go on, ask someone to fill ’em in, writes ROBBIE DEIGHAN. Invariably, the blanks will be filled with Brian Clough and England. After all, it is surely the most famous footballing marriage never to be consummated....

I HAD an exchange with a United fan this morning. I expected him to be full of the joys of Spring, what with it being actually Spring (definitely helps) and the fact that his team had just bested their rivals, in their rival’s own back yard. Oh, and to add to all the...
