Mickey Marbles – Taking the Michael

March 31, 2009

I hate that I do!

Introducing Mickey Marbles, a grumpy old Northerner who once had trials for Donacaster Rovers in 1965, he didn’t make it and has been bitter ever since. He remembers the good old days when footballers were real men, they could sink 10 pints the night before a game, could take a tackle and get by on 2 bob per week.

A free ticket

March 30, 2009

I remember when I used to answer the phones for Danny Kelly (now talkSPORT) and we’d sit in the studio wondering what would take off that week. How could we get the phones buzzing? And the one that caused meltdown more than most? The best ways of getting into the ground for free.

March 29, 2009

Onwards and upwards

In the Pink

March 28, 2009

These boots were made for walking

One area where non-league football often shines over its professional counterparts is in its fans and players’ devotion to do something daft for charity.
The latest craze appears to be in wearing bright pink shirts to raise awareness of Breast Cancer. Oldham Athletic (all right, they’re not non-league but t [...]

It is all doom and gloom for the Toon!

March 27, 2009

Going, going, gone?

A year ago I wrote my first UKFF article. It was on the status of Newcastle United. They were 3 points above the drop zone with only 9 games left to play and to make it worse they had a hard run in!

This week see’s another double header for Fabio Capello’s England, as they look to continue their unbeaten start to World Cup Qualification against Ukraine, following the friendly with Slovakia.

In response to Stephen Trenery’s post suggesting that the Premier League has reverted to its boring tag as the ‘top four’ dominate everything, I felt compelled to doing some investigation.

Who is to blame?

In the Premiership years, Charlton Athletic were seen as the model for any clubs gaining promotion to join the elite. So what went so wrong at The Valley that saw the Addicks fall to the depths of the wrong end of the Championship. As they stare League One football in the face, Charlton’s recent history leaves behind a sad tal [...]
