Where Are They Now?: David James

During the mid-1990s, Liverpool were disparagingly referred to in some quarters as the ‘Spice Boys’, with several of the club’s high-profile players criticised for indulging in a Playboy-esque lifestyle. Nor did it help that the Reds were going through a fallow period after two decades of dominating English football, although there were a couple of […]

Premier League week 33 round-up: Spoils are shared in drab Merseyside derby

In the history of Merseyside Derbies, Saturday’s damp squib at Goodison Park will barely even be a footnote. A weakened Liverpool side showed none of the fluidity and energy that has seen them draw so many plaudits under Jurgen Klopp, understandably so with Tuesday’s Champions League date in Manchester to come.

Premier League week 32 round-up: Salah the saviour again as Reds ride their luck

In my preview of this weekend’s Premier League action, I wrote that Liverpool just needed to beat Crystal Palace on Saturday, even if it was to be scrappy or lucky. It was no means a vintage performance from the Reds but they dug deep to claim a crucial victory against an unfortunate Palace side. Yet […]

Where Are They Now?: Vegard Heggem

Scandinavian football reached its zenith in the 1990s. Denmark shocked the world of football with their European Championships triumph in 1992, having been parachuted into the tournament 10 days before it started due to the imposition of international sanctions on war-torn Yugoslavia. Sweden finished third at the World Cup two years later, a tournament for […]
