When we lived in Halesowen the Argus delivery van used to overtake us on the way home. I still have their league winners and Euro Cup editions.

Watching MOTD and Jonathan Peirce commenting on our game stating that we were poor. We only go and score in the next move. We hadn’t been poor, we were organised and disciplined and he’d have known that if he took his Arsenal goggles off. Digne was my MOTM.

The Sports Argus may have gone but Spot the Ball is still going strong.
