    Black cushions of recycled Continental
    are semi-volatile compounds
    like the Sandhurst centre-back
    channelling his week into a tackle.

    In Tiempos, feel the rubber crumb
    of zinc-enriched non-organic […]

    A great memory from a time long gone.
    The Grandstand Teleprinter on BBC1!
    David Coleman stood beside camera 3.
    But only the Teleprinter appeared on TV!

    The Teleprinter would often stall or pause.
    Kept […]

    like them all before

    I’m one more who makes their way

    through this old turnstile ~

    When close to the ground…you could always tell.
    You were suddenly greeted by that Hot Dog smell!
    On every corner, there was a mobile Hot Dog stand.
    A seller at the ready, with a bread roll in his h […]

    Toto,
    you broke our hearts
    but as life departs
    we can only weep and pray
    and thank God that we saw you play

    Football has always interjected into my life:
    intervened at my lowest points
    in reparative fashion, putting a smile on my face
    and mapped a path, back to the rat-race;

    It has capped my highest […]

    This was to be my comeback stage.
    Playing once more at my advanced age.
    This big match took place in my head.
    It was a dream last night I had in bed!

    I came on as sub to ‘change the game’.
    To live up to […]

    Football’s back, the crowd’s go wild,
    brand new kit for every child,
    the beautiful game is back in play,
    where players strut and display,
    their outlandish haircuts, bold and bright,
    a fashion statement, it’ […]

    After all that transpired: injuries, bereavements, heartaches,
    relegation to No.3 before a transfer back to Cardiff Met:
    crucial stops at critical times.

    After everything you didn’t plan –
    the sun behind a […]

    far from the finished article but back for the start
    still reeling from two relegation seasons
    we board the coach with renewed hope

    Ewan who I’ve never met before
    shows me images from away games
    and w […]

    Well it’s almost upon us
    a new football season near,
    some fans are pessimistic
    others full of good cheer.
    Myself I’m feeling positive
    then again I always do,
    putting trust in the team
    who play in sky […]

    Through rain drifting across floodlight beams
    and smoke off the hotdog hut
    from a corner by the Thames

    you can see through black metal railings
    through the smog and instant snap of fag ash
    a distant heap […]

    whose woods these are I do not know
    but to a hilltop ground they go
    and as we climb in Summer heat
    this well trod path beneath our feet
    will lead us high above the town
    and carry us both up and down […]

    Each day there is something new to learn.
    When I hear of a brand new football term!
    Is a ‘false number 9’ a number 9 or not?
    That’s something I need to ask Arne Slot!

    ‘Seriously, I just don’t understan […]

    Onto the Wembley pitch Eddie races.
    Wearing his jacket, tie and braces!
    Fleet of foot, he leaves behind the law.
    And why not Eddie, 2-2 now the score!
    This is the famous Eddie Cavanagh tale.
    One cop […]

    Roberto Mancini and Zlatko Dalic
    and so what ? Who would have thought about this :
    Roberto Mancini once visited
    Medjugorje in 2012
    He made pilgrimage in that
    picturesque region of Herzegovina
    He prayed in […]

    So it’s not coming home
    as England lose to Spain,
    it just wasn’t meant to be
    for Gareth Southgate and Harry Kane.
    So it’s not coming home
    a case of so near but so far away,
    but the Spanish were the better […]

    even though we swear we won’t
    something sucks us in
    armchair managers emerge
    when the games begin
    once again we do it all
    ev’ry time it seems
    caught up in the flow and vibe
    caught up in the […]
