1 INCREDIBLE CREDIBILITY – NANCY DELL’ OLIO

Who would have thought that the humble Football Poets would appear in Nancy’s recently published autobiography? But, yes, folks, In an early chapter, Nancy Dell’Olio quotes four lines from Stuart Butler’s poignant Christmas Truce poem about the First World War and football in the trenches . Amazingly, this appears to be how Nancy discovered just how powerful a truce and football can be in the world . I can just see Sven looking over her shoulder in wonder, can’t you? This may be a reason to buy the book – but it would be easier to find better reasons………..perhaps. Like the black silk trench coat on the cover, maybe? But seriously ” Well done Stu…if well done is apt that is! ” Crispin

3 Give Us Back Our Game
Just Playing? Coaching? Letting kids be?
Is the (Children’s)Beautiful Game ruled by adults, over-zealous parents and coaches? Sweaters or pressures for Goalposts? G.U.B.O.G are tackling the problem..
