"I could be curmudgeonly and say that all this orchestration, the smoke, flags, displays, entrance music and flamethrowers aren’t for me. I’d rather go back to the days of Hurricane Smith and spontaneous viscerality, but then again I’d also like to go out for the night and bring home change from a five pound note, and get my hair back into the bargain. Neither of those are going to happen either, so may as well accept that this is modern football and make the best of it."
One of the best pieces of writing on football all season
Congratulations Sir
