The 53-time England international played for AFC Hutwood, far from the glamour of top football. He was never strong enough to score a goal, but he did have his moment in the City of Southampton's glamorous suburbs on Sunday, FL Division One.

This is why Arsenal will not fail in this three-horse title race, according to OLIVER HOLT

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 11, 2024
OLIVER HOLT: It's just a small sample, but every Arsenal fan I know is suspicious of the title race, so I'm afraid of it. Especially Kevin, who has had a season ticket for the majority of our adult lives. I asked him if he believed today. Manchester City will finish first, and Liverpool will finish second, according to him. 'I'd be dissatisfied if we didn't place third,' he said. All the usual reasons seem to be gloomy to me. Arsenal has to travel to City, Manchester United, and Spurs - not to mention Molineux and the Amex until the season's end,' he said. They have a more difficult run-in than their two rivals, who have larger and more squads. Arsenal and Liverpool are so relentless that Arsenal can't afford to drop points anywhere, and he can't imagine that happening. City and Liverpool know how to get it done, according to he. They have both been champions in the last five years. Arsenal has the muscle memory that Arsenal lacks.

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 21, 2024
How did the fashion-conscious girl of the 1960s, the era of the miniskirt, no less, turn so vehemently against this accepted female form of dress? The answer is on the rise, as well as learning about feminism and understanding the appalling degree of sexual abuse. And nowhere are these questions more relevant than in education, where the skirt still remains regulation uniform. According to JENNI MURRAY, I remember only too well how the insistence we wore them meant we were constantly exposed to boys' leering and lewd remarks.
