Flintoff 1 Football Nil
By Will 3 years ago, mid-September, 4 Comments »
Just seen on the box that Flintoff walked out on Maine Road (that’s a football ground I think - he didn’t stumble, drunkedly, onto a main road, although I imagine he probably did the other day) to watch his “beloved” Man City, and he received a massive standing ovation and applause.
Blinkin’ brilliant that is. I don’t know how many were at the game, but it’s terrific to see and hear these cricketers receiving the praise they deserve. Especially that bloody legend, Andrew Flintoff.

Richie’s off our UK screens. The Oval Test is likely to be his last televised broadcast in the UK; he’s been on our screens, amazingly, since 1963 when he started with the BBC. Summer won’t be the same without him.
Favourite Richie “sayings,” phrases or funny moments please, ladies and gents. One of mine, which has been well documented, was his stint with Ray Illingworth. Batsman was hit in the royal-box, as it were. “Ooh, and that’s hit him just below the knee-roll. Oh, no, just above the knee-roll in fact.” Richie, as calm as a cucumber, retorts: “Just between the knee-roll in fact, Raymond!”
