I got awarded a medal for my footballing prowess* at Lichfield City U11s “B” football team by Tony Morley (whose son played at the same club).


* and I indeed showed every bit of prowess that you’d expect from a slow, one-eyed, dyspraxic 9 year old kid. In case it’s not obvious, I’m absolute rubbish - decent amount of stamina but outside that I’m more likely to fall over or get myself sent off that do anything productive

I’m clerk to the governors at a fee paying school in Wolverhampton so I go to their annual prize giving and I always feel sorry to the poor sod that wins the ‘effort prize’ - ‘you’re crap at maths, English, geography and everything else, but bless, at least you’ve tried.’

^^^My nephew has just left a similar school. He got a prize for having good attendance one year!

I would have been happy to see him back here, but I wish him well and hope it works out for him there. Let's get Garnacho instead.

It’s the 1992 Olympic bid all over again.

I wonder if he lives local as I seen him in Lichfield last Summer.

Just after he signed for Manchester United, Colin Gibson knocked my pint over.  At the time, I was playing for a football team called The Skolars. 

Rashford to Barcelona, Ferran Torres to Villa?

Wait until he finds out he has to run up that big hill for training

Fair play to Rashford. Think that move will still have an implication for us.

I’m still pissed off with Freddie Mercury for doing a song for them.
