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...
“IS this your first time?” she asked me as she held my hand and looked me in the eye. “Yeah,” I excitedly replied, not quite sure if there were any words I could use to describe what had just happened. She looked at me again, her of at least 60...

MILK, Littlewoods, Rumbelows, Coca-Cola, Worthington, Carling. Worthless, Mickey Mouse, moribund…the vocabulary of the League Cup, whether official or unofficial, is hardly inspiring. While occasionally undergoing a fleeting revival, it feels as if the trophy is...
IT looks as though the key document in the phone-hacking scandal, at least as far as News Corp and James Murdoch are concerned, is going to be the “For Neville” email, analysed here by David Leigh and the inestimable Nick Davies. For the purposes of this discussion...
AS a very young child I was surprised to discover that the past, contrary to what visual records seemed to suggest, did not occur in black and white. My nan, born in 1917, first disabused me of the notion and – now I’m old enough to have memories worthy of the...
