So what is timesnewroman? It's not the font, rather my take on the age we live in. The USA is the new Rome and the times we live in are timesnewroman.

Royal Blue Jerseys and White Knickers - Final Episode What the fuck must Barrow in Furness have been thinking? I have no idea how good goalie John actually was, but an offer of employment prior to having seen someone play seems a wee bit bizarre indeed. Maybe goalies were difficult to come by in those days.
Two final wee stories to conclude the goalie John series.
First up, Chelsea were apparently interested in him at one point, but he seemingly turned them down as he wanted to follow his father down the pit!
Second, the displaced one (son of Goalie John) tells us how he never saw or even realised his father played, he doesn't know if he was any good or not, he did however hear of an apparent radio commentary where the commentator suggested that perhaps Goalie John couldn't blame the sun in hiseyes for the fourth goal that he'd let in one afternoon.
