I’d go up and train with Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Ben Foster. To do that at that age is an eye-opener. I was amazed by it... they were always good with me

quote of the week “The depth of time I’ve been on this planet means I can vaguely remember when the League Cup was sponsored simply by milk. Not Dairy Crest, Yeo Valley or Nestlé. Milk. What a time to be alive. I mean, that’s like the Premier League being sponsored by meat.” The elephant on Page 65. Find out thisSmith one paraded around Ben why Bailey Selhurst Park in the 1990s.

next up: newcastle On Saturday Palace travel up north to St James’ Park for the first of two trips this season. If you’re going to be up in the gods read on. Travel: Despite its distance, St James’ Park is relatively straightforward to reach from London. Trains take roughly three hours from Kings Cross to Newcastle Central station, which is a 10-minute walk from the stadium. Pre-match: Newcastle has more pubs than you could shake a proverbial stick at. Most of those closest to the stadium are for home fans only, but in the city centre the Bridge Tavern provides an excellent option right on the River Tyne.
BEAT BRIGHTY In each edition, club icon Mark Bright calls it how he sees it and predicts scores from the day’s football. See how you fare and try to Beat Brighty! Scoring: One point for every correct result, three for a correct scoreline.
