Modesty is a word that just doesn't figure in Morrissey's vocabulary. But then he does have a fair bit to shout about and his arrogance isn't as misplaced as it

might initially appear.

In contrast to the crazy days of Joy Division, Peter Hook now appears refreshingly lucid and coherent. When he talks, he tugs his chin pensively, keen to set

the record straight.

Hook has become New Order's  eloquent leader.

Wimbledon never did things by halves. It was always all or nothing, on and off the pitch, as the Crazy Gang imploded just as fast as they evolved. By 2002 and the switch to Milton Keynes, it

was all over. The abyss from which

they had emerged beckoned again as the new club fell precariously back down the divisions towards oblivion.

Tommy Docherty was the first man to skipper and manage the national side. But it is as a manager that Docherty will be remembered. He was the last in a long line of old-fashioned bosses that included Shankly, Busby, Clough and Stein.

Alan Mullery spends a large chunk of his book raging. He was an angry young man and a bitter middle-aged man. To his credit, he tells it

as it was, without looking back and trying to revise his grudges from a Christian viewpoint, saying how

he would not act or

think in that way now.
