Daniel is one of the few journalists who told our story when we were on the brink of extinction. And yet again, he’s back, reiterating it—a supreme sports writer who deserves all the plaudits he gets.
A takeover that saves a football club is a cause for celebration, but what happens if recovery never really happens? I went to watch Morecambe, the club that fell off a cliff. This is a lesson for football. inews.co.uk/sport/football/m…

All it took was him outscoring and outperforming everyone, plus an injury... Well done, MGW.

MGW is going to end his career with fewer than 10 England caps, and future generations are going to look back and scratch their heads as to how this guy played so little for his country. Baffling.
