“He was my first ever coach.” Deano immediately questions me on the origin of the website name. It’s just a light hearted jest I tell him, and he proceeds to tell me about his time under Keith Mincher, “He was my coach in 1987 as a 16 year old at Leeds. Me, Gary [...]
It’s a rare and precious thing indeed that sees me up after midnight these days. Hedonism leaves me crying for my cocoa, pining for my slumber. So it was odd to find myself hanging onto a mobile phone, way past the witching hour, a little over a month ago and listening on intently, [...]
‘I need to talk about it. I don’t talk about this often enough and it helps. You’re helping me out, so I should be thanking you.’
As corrections go, that one’s pretty emphatic. Coming, as it does, from Roddy Collins, the 51 year old former Irish double winning manager, a man [...]
‘I keep the pigs down in my paddock just to fill the freezers. It’s a shame, really, people don’t look after pigs but they’re actually really intelligent, caring animals, a bit like dogs. Seems sad to kill them putting it that way but we all like a nice bit of gammon don’t we?’

When I call Andy Couzens at his Yorkshire home it takes him a little time to settle in before the interview begins in earnest. His life today is a far cry from that of a young footballer working two hour days and spending the afternoon in bed or on the Playstation. We’d agreed [...]
Few players of recent times have fostered as much affection amongst the Brunton Park faithful as on-loan Bolton Wanderers winger Johann Smith.

‘Greg Abbott? The best coach I’ve played for other than Harry Redknapp.’ – Vincent Pericard Interview
My first couple of attempts to interview Vincent Pericard end in failure. On one occasion I catch him hard at work on his new venture, while when he returns my call I’m caught short – trapped in central London without access to pen, paper or notes. It serves as a handy metaphor for [...]
