REMEMBER when Liverpool goal-machine
Kevin Keegan used to advertise Brut on TV with Henry Cooper?
Kev and Our ’Enry would be in a steamy changing room in their towels, and
Cooper would say, “Blimey Kev, you don’t arf smell lovely, like a lady or a flower or something.”
And Kev would say, “That’s right, Henry,
I do, but there’s nothing to feel uncomfortable about. “It’s the 1970s/80s and British men don’t have
WITH fewer things to look forward to, you can’t help looking back.
Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius has been doing just that in lockdown.
The German posted a pic of himself as a nipper (left), when he used to compete in motocross.
You’ll be reminded of the
Follows the 2019 season of Spanish team Movistar as it sets its sights on the three biggest races on the cycling calendar — the Grand Tours.
Capturing not only the astonishing physical achievements of riders, who often cover hundreds of kilometres daily, but also the human dynamics of a team sport that is simultaneously dominated by individualism, this is a must-watch for even the most casual cycling fan.
ALL OR NOTHING: NFL
Across five seasons, All or Nothing follows a different NFL franchise – the Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Rams, Dallas Cowboys, Carolina Panthers and, most recently, the Philadelphia Eagles.
Each season provides fascinating footage. The cameras have access to the dressing room, old BBC TV show Junior Kick Start, with its upbeat theme tune and jaunty disregard for child safety.
A lot of kids on motorbikes coming a cropper on a wet obstacle course, losing a tooth, bruising a clanger.
Karius’ clangers are famous of course. His mistakes in the 2018 Champions League final cost Liverpool the crown.
He’d been concussed by Sergio Ramos’ elbow, and made two shocking blunders. By the time his head cleared it was all over, and Jurgen Klopp had shipped his poor, befuddled cat to Turkey.
You might think that was a callous act and feel great sympathy for Karius. He didn’t make those mistakes deliberately and, after all, no one died.
Now look back over Britain’s coronavirus campaign.
Mistakes have been made. You can argue whether they were made
ALL OR NOTHING: NEW ZEALAND ALL BLACKS
Some say he is the greatest player of all time, but the superstar with the ‘Hand of God’ is also one of football’s most divisive figures.
The series follows his one-season spell as the manager of Dorados de Sinaloa, a Mexican second division team. It provides a fascinating insight into the man whose off-field problems are almost as big as his on-pitch exploits. deliberately, as clear-eyed policy, or just human failure on the big stage. But people did die, are dying. We are being repeatedly told to feel sympathy for blundering Boris Johnson, the flop in the No.1 shirt.
He’s taken a knock, he’s doing his best, and it’s not easy is it?
But look back. Karius was axed for a better outcome next time.
And no campaign of spin, data fiddling or misdirection will change the fact that it worked.
