I WOULD like to pay tribute to two men from the world of football who have unfortunately died in the last week, Sir Bobby Charlton and Bill Kenwright.
I NOTICED that Arsene Wenger, the ex-Arsenal manager, was back in England for some reason this week.
FOOTBALL at Christmas has always been different.
I SUPPOSE most football people will be watching the World Cup final tomorrow and unfortunately, England will not be in it.
ENGLAND getting to this stage in the World Cup, now in the last eight, I think has won more people over than ever, including the players themselves.
THE World Cup is getting to the second, knockout stages after starting with 32 countries and we are now down to the last 16.
AS WE’VE been saying for the last few weeks, no league games, but plenty of football to talk about, even if you can’t actually attend the games.
OBVIOUSLY all of the football world will have their eyes on the first games played in this year’s FIFA World Cup in the next few days, more than four years on from the last one.
I SUPPOSE anywhere in life, numbers are crucially important.
PEOPLE like myself in the game are just like supporters. You often wonder where some of your ex-players and staff are these days, knowing most of them are not playing anymore.
