Ghana go watch the game 25 Apr 2011 | 04:22 am
I’ve been to all of the England home games since the 2010 World Cup. And enjoyed each one, to be honest. I’ve got no expectations as to how we’ll do. I don’t expect us to win anything. But I never...

2 weeks after doing the Great North Run, I did the Loch Ness Marathon. It might be twice the length of a half-marathon, but I discovered that it feels about 10 times further to run! This was my f...

Sunday 19th September – that was the date of my first go at the Great North Run. I’ve run a few half marathons before, so normally I could be confident I would easily finish the distance. But this t...
