Things are awful, so a little treat for the real Crush-Heads. It is now eleven years since I got this printed in the Metro.

Hello, everyone. We are doing, as promised, an Avatar: Fire And Ash listener questions special. For this to work, we need questions from listeners. So, have at it. Do your worst. And do slide into my DMs with your questions, lest you anger Mother Eywa.

This is the most recent note I made on my phone. I have no recollection of writing this, nor do I know what prompted it.

This is great.
I’m the ‘miracle’ woken from a coma by Kenny Dalglish after Hillsborough. And now I’ve met him again
I’m the ‘miracle’ woken from a coma by Kenny Dalglish after Hillsborough. And now I’ve met him again
It’s said that you should never meet your heroes, but 36 years after the Liverpool manager sat by my hospital bed, I got to thank our greatest ally Born to a son of Anfield in a Warwickshire village, I grew up geographically remote from my spiritual football home. Emotionally, though, the pull of the boys in red was ever-present: from my first game at Anfield in 1974 to FA Cup final defeat at Wembley in ’77, to witnessing the first of Liverpool’s six European Cups, in Rome, when my first hero, Kevin Keegan, ran Berti Vogts ragged. I cried when Keegan left, but soon a new king was born in my imagination: Kenny Dalglish, that wily, tough, insanely skilful Scot. I travelled the country to follow my team through the peaks and troughs that culminated in the lowest possible low, on 15 April 1989, the day of the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. There are many things I remember about Hillsborough, some of which returned to me years, even decades, later. My dad saying: “If it’s a nice day tomorrow, we’ll go.” Ian St John on the end of my hospital bed. My best mate laughing as I struggled to eat a yoghurt. The endless bright white lights of the Royal Hallamshire. The surreal trip to my local hospital in an ancient, drafty ambulance. One thing I don’t remember, though, is meeting my hero. And for good reason. For I’m the “miracle” boy woken by the sound of Kenny’s voice when he spoke at my bedside. Continue reading...

A Nando’s.
if you could have one absolutely ridiculous thing in your house, money is no issue, what would you add?

Up yours, 2025! You come at the king, you best not miss. Now I go into 2026 bloodied but unbowed, armed with unfettered optimism, a renewed sense of hope, an unquenchable work ethic, and sharp shooting pains up and down my left arm that I’m sure are nothing to worry about. Happy New Year, folks!

Merry Christmas to all you lovely BlueSkyers. BlueSkiers? No, that would imply that you ski, and then it’s all downhill from there.

Hey, you! Yes, you! If you’re in and around Greenwich (the proper one in London, not that knock-off in New York) this evening, here’s some festive fun for you: a screening of Scrooge (Sim!) with musical accompaniment in a beautiful setting. What could be Christmassier?

Any Christmassy questions for this week’s Empire Podcast, folks?

Love my Christmas songs playlist, but it could do with some new blood. Any suggestions, folks?
