On the left we had Magnus Evergeen, who was a solid...

15.Saturday, Feb 3Match 28 of 46: Chester versus Banbury UnitedThe ball came to me on our right. My first touch killed the ball, but it felt wrong. The ball was heavy and sullen. Beside me, the community stand was quiet, like a heavy blanket had been draped over it. The little away section on this quarter of the ground...

11.Dixie Dean (1907 – 1980) was an English footballer who played as a centre forward. He is regarded as one of the greatest of all time.The shop was from a bygone age. An age of muddy pitches, heavy leather balls, brutal tackles, and no substitutes. Still, an age where a PA 190 striker competed against PA 180 defende...

There was no point leaving the stadium until the traffic had cleared. I got cursemail immediately after the final whistle, but was in absolutely no mood to open it. In fact, ...
