Introductions
Introduction – Adam Leese
Name: Adam Leese Team: Newcastle United First Match: Away to Leeds at Elland Road just before Christmas ‘01. Nobby Solano scored the winner in a 4-3 victory to send us top of the league in the snow. Best Football Moment: Feyenoord away in 02/03. Craig Bellamy’s last minute winner confounded the critics and sent us through the... »
Introduction – James Betts
Name: James Betts Team: Manchester United First Match: Manchester United v Oldham in 1993. I think Mark Hughes got a couple. Best Football Moment: Coming from 2-0 down to beat Juventus 3-2 in 99. My entire life as a Manchester United fan had seemed to centre on us winning the European Cup and this was... »
Introduction- Steve Carlton
Name: Steve Carlton Team: Grimsby Town (But when I can’t afford to get home, Salford City) First Match: It was a 1-1 draw against Derby County in, ooh, 1996 I think. My grandma’s friend’s son somehow got lumbered with the task of taking my brother and I to the football. There were nearly 8,000 people there... »
Introduction – Ollie Wright
Name: Ollie Wright Team: Derby County First Match: Lost 2-0 to Wolves, 1986. All I remember is, we conceded, kicked off, gave the ball away and conceded again. From then on, I was hooked. Best Football Moment: Got to be when Stephen Pearson scored the winner at Wembley in the Championship play-off final. Lowest Football Moment: Probably the... »
Introduction – Paul Musco
Name: Paul Musco Team: Arsenal First Match: Crystal Palace v Arsenal – November 10th 1990. A goalless draw. Best Football Moment: Either winning the double at Old Trafford in 2001/02, or ‘The Invincibles’ winning the league at White Hart Lane in 2003/04. Lowest Football Moment: Losing to Barcelona in the Champions League final. Ten word review of your team’s... »
Introduction – Jamie Brown
Name – Jamie Brown Team – Welcome to the corner adorned in the Garibaldi Red of Nottingham Forest. First match – January 1, 1983. A 4-2 victory over Coventry. I’ll paint you a quick landscape: Within the previous five years we had been League Champions (and runners-up), double European Champions, won the League Cup twice (and lost... »
Introduction – Chris Nield
Name – Chris Nield Team – Manchester City First match – City vs QPR in 92/93 which happened to be the first ever Monday Night Football. I was stood on the Kippax Stand with my dad. The Red Arrows (who obviously weren’t too popular with the predominantly blue crowd) flew over Maine Road and there were... »
Introduction – Steven Oakes
Lowest Football Moment: Seeing Paul Scholes in Macdonalds in Oldham. He's better than that! »
Introduction – David Meller
Name: David Meller Team: Stockport County First Match: 95/96 v Manchester City to commemorate the redevelopment of the Cheadle End. We lost 1-0 I think, although I do remember thinking we’d scored, only to be fooled by the side-netting. Best Football Moment: Play-off semi-final second leg v Wycombe Wanderers, 2007/08. Evenly poised at 1-1, Liam Dickinson ran from the half-way line,... »
Introduction – PM Jones.
Name: Pete Jones Team: Leicester City Football Club First Match: Leicester V Brighton Hove and Albion – 91/92 time. I don’t remember much but I did complete the word search in the programme. Best Football Moment: 1. Steve Claridge’s 120 minute goal in the 96 Play Off final vs Crystal Palace. Pure delirium. 2. Steve Claridge winning us the League Cup at... »
Teams
August 14, 2009 | 19:34AU released a great album in 2008 called Verbs. Later this year they are touring the UK, and will hopefully be playing some new songs too. This is a really fun popsong, with a kind of baltic feel to it. DF
August 14, 2009 | 19:30Stereo Arcade are a popband from Sweden. They make really catchy art-rock, which has roots in the sounds of both Britain and Scandinavia. Thus far they have only put out a few songs, but if they are anything to go by this band will be worth going back to soon. DF
