  Rugby : Stirling Mortlock, great line- breaker, defender and reliable kicker. I wish, he was a kiwi.

  Football : Nemanja Vidic, you can't win games without a great defender and he scores some great headers from set play.

  Cricket : Mitchell Johnson, a genuine all rounder.

  NRL : Michael Jennings, pace to burn and a punishing defender.

  Didn't he just win some Player of the Year award?

  I read somewhere that Ryan Giggs was named player of the year.

  A shopping list, yay.

  I won't have a appetite for Salsa and chilli beans if we all go into quarantine.

  You might have noticed an amusing caricature of me in some of the Powershop ads appearing here.

  Comrade Brown!!!

  Everyone is complaining — yet the voting is always unanimous.

  Some say the turning point was Arsenal's amazing league victory on the last kick of the season that same year over Liverpool.

  Hmmmm, Michael Thomas never scored against Liverpool again, Liverpool bought him for the next season.

  For those interested, there is a new documentary on Hillsborough to mark the 20 year anniversary being shown on History Channel tonight (not the excellent Jimmy McGovern docu-drama mind).

  Thanks Richard for the heads up. I watched the doco last night, my god what a monumental f**k-up by the police and the FA for not delaying the kickoff.The callousness of the authority and the Sun newspaper in the branding of innocent people who died was so unnecessary.

  Unbelievable.

  How F**king tragic.

  And the current Lord Mayor of Liverpool should have been in the Leppings Lane End but swapped his ticket for a stand seat.

  This is what Bruce Grobbelaar the Liverpool goalie recalled at the Leppings lane end.

  There are other interviews with a mother looking for her son, the only ambulance driver that got onto the field and some others recalling the day. Some very moving stories.

  Note how the decline of violence at English football matches coincided with Millwall’s relegation.

  Indeed, I suspect pills & warehouse parties too.

  Sports minister Andy Burnham tries to address a crowd of Liverpool supporters, gathered in the stands at Anfield for a memeorial service for the 96 who died in the Hillsborough tragedy 20 years ago.
  As he spoke, the corwd started shouting him down with prolonged chants of "justice for the 96".
  Living in London between 1989 and 1991, I didn't have an appreciation for how ordinary citizens could behave come football day, until finding myself on a platform with fans screaming obscenities at the away side on the other platform with police backup. Back then everyone said "don't get caught with Millwall fans", being on a platform with Arsenal fans was bad enough.
