Fatherly Pride
It was with a very fatherly sense of pride that I watched my son’s football coach call him back for a “quick word” after he’d dismissed the rest of the team following their 7-1 victory this weekend. Read More …
Still part of the Team
Back in 2015, I wrote about the importance of Team Sports in the context of my Son joining an under-10s football team.

The Importance of Team Sports
My son will be 10 at the end of December, and after several years of him asking to join a football team, I finally relented and found him a club for this season.

Rovers going for an Indian
So, I looks as if Blackburn Rovers are set to become the latest Premier League club to get foreign owners, with Indian farming company Venkey’s Group all but ready to complete a takeover from the Jack Walker Trust.
