I HAVE a longing to see a team sheet comprising of names I can not only spell but also pronounce.

Sam has now enlisted the aid of the French foreign legion in his fight for survival. Not a Jones, Brown or Smith on the books.

I do have sympathy for the faithful supporters and wonder how they offer vocal appreciation. I would think they do it by shouting the numbers. "Well done number seven, brilliant number 10, get off number nine."

Good luck to the Trotters. Now there's a word hardly ever mentioned. What is a Trotter?
