Really glad that SOS got Kevin Keegan to their 10th anniversary do. He was genuinely emotional and it felt like retying a thread that was, as you've described, abruptly snapped in '77. One of the greatest, RIP.

Just realised we've passed Live Aid day. Wrote this about it last year. What a good place to be, it was Happy Hour for me. If you know the lyrics, you'll understand it's about Hull and the Housemartins as well as The Farm and my brilliant brother. open.substack.com/pub/tonyevan...

To Hull And Back: Alternative Memories Of Live Aid 40 Years On

Not all of us were glued to the telly watching Queen and Phil Collins perform at Wembley. We had better things to do

The ‘blow job or no job’ nickname has been circulating for at least two decades. Glad The Times has been involved in the BBC expose. I asked the question in 2007 (if I remember rightly). Lawyers shut it down quickly. Interesting to see how Brady fares in the falllout

If Starmer has any balls he will be calling the US ambassador in today to ask, "what the **** has this got to do with you?" The United States is interfering in UK politics. It's unacceptable and hypocritical from a nation that produced the ICE killings

The radical centre. Pure comedy. And why do all the laziest thinkers on the planet get positions in the media to say that welfare is the problem. None of them ever suggest a revamp of the tax system. Tony Blair. Thatcherite. War criminal. Dickhead

21 years ago I was on the old Orient Express from Paris to Vienna. There I met my mate Dave and continued by train to Istanbul. I swear he slept with one eye open in case I nicked his ticket and threw him off the train. Heard tonight he’s had a heart attack this week but is OK. Get well soon, mate

It’s probably just me, but if I’m evoking an LFC season with a new kit, I’d avoid 1989-90. Yes, a title win but a manager heading towards an understandable breakdown in a campaign that was the gateway to a hugely disappointing decade. Plus, it looks crap.
