Lazio went on to collect their first championship in 26 years.His arrival at United would certainly spice up Sir Alex Ferguson’s options. A formidable athlete, blessed with pace and technique, Veron would probably slot in alongside Roy Keane in central midfield. Keane could never be dismissed as a mere ball-winner, but his abrasiveness makes him [...]

And although Redgrave persuaded him to do the decent thing ­ “he told me to be as good a loser as I was a winner” ­ it still did not feel right to the youngest member of the four.Reflecting upon the reasons for that, Cracknell came up with a verbal concoction which, in its way, [...]

Now that the work has gone, the labour force of Coatbridge has turned to body-building: the muscles that built the empire now reduced to an oiled-up prop in the pursuit of narcissism. It is very easy for [...]

It’s making a point about the American landscape, which is in many ways comparable to the English landscape. We have a stand-off with Korea, and what do we do at the end of it? We say, `OK, we’ll come and advise you on how to build the best nuclear reactors, and we’ll loan you the [...]

It includes the sublimely titled Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1966) (see listings for reps, below), wherein three tough go-go dancers rip through the Californian desert, abducting a fluffy little teenager for purposes left unexplained (Meyer’s film is surprisingly discreet on matters erotic).Technically impressive – much more elegant than the drive-in trash it was meant to [...]
