Merry Christmas Tyke. I think we can just about call you an honorary Rovers fan. Can’t wait for our next visit to Oakwell. Let’s hope it’s next season.
All Played Out by Pete Davies about Italia 90 takes some beating.And while Among The Thugs by Bill Buford is mainly about an upper middle class author getting his kicks by trailing along with a Firm, it has THE best page I've ever read about football. He coins the phrase "dead time" to refer to that moment between the ball leaving the player's foot and hitting the back of the net or not. Where the whole universe stands still while you wait for the outcome. It's like he was actually there at the Deva when Dave Cameron arrowed that shot towards the top corner and for a split second, everything collapsed. Until Andy Warrington's fingertips found that extra two inches.
