By Andy Szabo (Bradford City fan). Ritchie Jones arrived at Bradford City in July 2011 with something of a fanfare, against a backdrop of turmoil within our club. Whilst the 2012/13 season has brought a level of success and broken records that would have been beyond the wildest dreams of even the most ardent of [...]

By Bradley Stratton (Brighton & Hove Albion fan). It’s fair to say we’ve had a mix-bag of keepers in recent years at Brighton and Hove Albion. The Withdean era saw 25 men pull on the gloves for the Seagull’s, varying in quality. For example there was the excellent Ben Roberts, who could have made it [...]

By Ian Booth (Wolverhampton Wanderers fan). Sylvan Ebanks-Blake signed for Wolves during the transfer window of January 2008 – a window that also saw the purchases of 2 other players still on our books today, namely David Edwards and George Elokobi. All 3 of these signings were typical for Wolves at this time – young (all [...]

You may dream of the big clubs like Manchester United [...]

By Jonathan Fryer. A lot can define the way you feel about a game of football, obviously your own team’s result will naturally have a massive bearing on it, so too would the quality of the football, throw in a few stellar names and some quality goals for good measure and you should have most [...]

By Rob Britton. One night in Moscow. Just writing the title brings a warm glow inside, a feeling that brings a smile to my face and many Manchester United fans. The heartache we endure as football fans is well worth the pain if we can celebrate special nights like those on the 21st May 2008, [...]
