Does anyone remember Lawrie Reilly, arguably the most famous Hibernian player of the early 50s? I saw him a couple of times, once playing on the wing ...
No league match today for Pools Jarkko, but a tasty home FA Cup match at home to Harrogate Town.
Well I’m actually enjoying NOT watching the 2022 World Cup, and the sooner it is over the better as far as I’m concerned. My recollections of my next ...
The 1962 World Cup was the most controversial at the time for a number of reasons. After the previous two World Cups had been held in Europe, the Amer...
I have to agree with Michael Carrick when he states that looking at League tables is futile at this stage of the season. Since 2004 there have been 58...
Serendipitously whilst taking a break from watching Sports DVDs and Video Cassettes I came across Julian Webber introducing a programme about Classic ...
My Oxford Dictionary of 1,632 pages definitely states that one meaning of pale is lacking lustre, dim.
Now before anybody thinks that I’m completely bonkers, I hope that this proves that whilst admittedly agreeing that I may be eccentric, I’m certainly ...
Well I’ve managed to avoid any of this year’s World Cup so far and didn’t know if any goals had indeed been scored, although I had suspected there mig...
On reflection it’s probably overstating it to say that the four Home countries all qualified for the 1958 World Cup as there wasn’t a true qualificat...
It’s not too late to withdraw from the World Cup yet. If all the European countries agreed to withdraw after the first round of fixtures, that certain...
KP in Spain Surely that must have been Emerson. The best foreigner Boro ever signed in my opinion.
Such an eerie silence on the football scene at the moment. Little interest shown by many in the World Cup, nor even the FA Cup 2nd Round next weekend ...
The big question though is why Motsi Mabuse appeared to wear a shopping basket on her head on Strictly last night?
Well said Werdermouth! Not only football has been tainted, but so many other of my favourite sports as well by the filthy lucre.
Countdown to the World Cup? Won’t watch the latter, and haven’t watched the former since Carol Vorderman was replaced. But did once appear on Fifteen ...
What I have to finally write today is that I never expected that the Rugby League World Cup would potentially outshine the Football World Cup. I’ve al...
Didn’t finish my recollections of the 1950 World Cup until after 2am. but enjoyed reminiscing about it again. That Uruguayan striker Schiaffino was s...
The First World Cup I ever saw on television was held in Switzerland in 1954 and it was goals, goals all the way. In fact 140 of them in just 26 match...
Jarrko I need to correct you mate, but it was West Auckland Town not the Bishops who won the mythical World Cup in 1909 against the Swiss side Wint...
To start at the very beginning only 13 countries qualified for the first World Cup in 1930 where every match was played in the Uruguayan capital of Mo...
The best World Cup was probably in 1958 when all four British countries made the finals based on the Home Championship although unfortunately I was in...
Reading through the texts on the BBC website, there are many football fans who have decided not to watch any of the World Cup matches, although none s...
Werdermouth. Loved the play on words - Qatar-mess, just sums up how many of us feel. Now looking forward to the Rugby League Wheelchair World Cu...
A record crowd of 605 spectators at the Trunk Road last night as Second Division Redcar Town beat First Division Redcar Athletic 4-3 on penalties afte...
I’ve just been reading about Redcar Albion’s history, and can’t believe that it’s almost 40 years since they folded due to financial reasons. The orig...
Even the Second Division in Qatar only consists of a further 8 football clubs with one team promoted each year, so only 20 clubs participating each se...
Strange how some football reporters mark different players as their Man of the Match. The Yorkshire Post produce the Team of the Week after each block...
