THE Bobby Duncan situation which exploded on social media yesterday was surprising in a number of ways. From questioning how the situation managed to get to the point it did, to reading words and phrases so unbelievably unprofessional and bordering on farcical you’d...
STREET footballers at an elite level are a joy to behold. Luis Suarez, Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard were all phenomenally talented players who held an unnerving amount of raw abandon and instinct, honed into them on the streets of Croxteth, Huyton and Salto,...
