Have spent most of my adult life working in equality and football, sometimes (including just now) in a combination of the two. Dad, husband, militant pragmatist and realist about everything except whether I can still play football at 38…
We are mate. Still playing wonky football, a few of the players who you did wonky portraits of have moved on or retired but we’re still plugging away. Down in London in March to play the Clapton CFC Over 35s! You still playing for Union Street?

Big love guys, miss the days of bantering with you from the Glasgow Piraten account before we deleted ours!

During the war, much of that charity went towards injured servicemen and their families.

Post-war, these charitable causes widened to include striking miners - which didn't go down particularly well with The FA.
