MY mates would tell you I’m too much of a knob to be a full-back, they’re usually a quiet bunch who keep themselves to themselves and keep things ticking along, not causing any trouble or getting drunk. I think my dark side comes from always wanting to be a centre...
THE emergence of James Milner in his new defensive role has temporarily ended a litany of unusual/mad/incapable/certifiable left-backs we’ve had going back some 30 years. Although this is not what he signed up for, he has already settled in and has become a key...

THERE’S loads of running involved in football you know, writes MATT KENNY. Absolutely loads. More running in a 90-minute period than most of can even hope to do in a week. And that’s before they even have to worry about being good at football and all that goes...
