Best football stat of the season:

Only three players touched the ball fewer times in the first half than Joshua Zirkzee (16) and one of them played nine minutes and another was sent off for hitting their team-mate.

Watching 28 Days Later for the first time. I literally have zero patience watching new (to me) stuff nowadays. The urge to check the plot on Wikipedia and move on is irresistible.

Dear Bolton Wanderers fans. Jimmy Savile was from Leeds, not Bradford. The name you were looking for is Peter Sutcliffe.

Maybe England should just try being better at cricket?

Found a copy of this Q mag from July 1990 in a vintage shop last year. I had a copy at the time and stuck all the Roses photos on my bedroom wall. Was also the first interview of them that I read. I was a bit late to them, think I bought She Bangs The Drums at the start of that year.

Had forgotten Mani did the foreword to the Scooterboys book. Just seen a post on FB by Sticky the author which reminded me. Pics from my copy

Nice pic of Mani on my mate Pete’s drive just off Halifax Road in Bradford. He was picking up his scooter after Pete did some work on it.

A fitting tribute I’m sure you’d agree.

On Christmas Eve about 10 years ago Glasgow police rang me around midnight to say I’d been reported missing.

I've genuinely never cried over the death of someone I hadn't met before but sobbing in Julies arms here. They were 'my' band (I know they were everyone else's too obviously). And he was such a legend. Fuck.
