Mostly sport, some food, and the occasional cat.

@StretfordPost 13th. First one was ‘74.

@tmurphyNZ Prepared to put up with it. He’s the only one offering actual insight.

@JamieWall2 Colin Farrell! A slight figure of fun I guess but scored a try in the corner when Auckland rallied from 9-0 down v Counties in ‘79 to retain the Shield. He may have flapped at the kick that led to the Counties try but I’d need to check the tape…

@MarkPedlar @JamieWall2 Terrific footballer.

[Stephen Lyon @StephenLyon]

Don’t mind looking a bit silly every now and then either which is a plus.

[Stephen Lyon @StephenLyon]

Feel like Jamieson has quite a nice combination of skill and disregard for the opposition for situations such as these.

[Stephen Lyon @StephenLyon]

@Sportsfreakconz @tauhenare They are ranked about the same as we are, to be fair.

[Stephen Lyon @StephenLyon]

@steelbanks @tauhenare @HaydenMeikle Greenidge, Haynes, Marshall, Garner. Wayne Daniel at first change. Decent.

@steelbanks @tauhenare @HaydenMeikle And Barbados. For a little while there, probably the best cricket team in the world.

@Sportsfreakconz I only have the word of a professional golfer who has said JC was almost good enough to turn pro. Not saying MS isn’t a great golfer - he clearly is. Mind you, I’ve forgotten about Stu Duff…

[Stephen Lyon @StephenLyon]

@Sportsfreakconz Jeff Crowe is the best golfer that ever played cricket for New Zealand.

[Stephen Lyon @StephenLyon]

@Theleaguemag One of the great football combovers.

[Stephen Lyon @StephenLyon]

Nick Price might be a bit surprised to find out that he’s from South Africa.

@BenThomasNZ @AotearoaSam Can you extend that to Prime Ministers? For life for them tho.

[Stephen Lyon @StephenLyon]

@Ianalch @cdpgolf1 @TheAddingtonGC That’s what I thought too! But no!

[Stephen Lyon @StephenLyon]

@CraigNorenbergs All good. An over-reaction from me. I work there and get sick of seeing stuff that shows someone doesn’t have a clue what they’re talking about. I should have taken a breath. I enjoy your work and have done so since you were a young fella on Sky News Australia!

[Stephen Lyon @StephenLyon]

@Sportsfreakconz Of course I’ve just dragged it down off the shelf.

[Stephen Lyon @StephenLyon]

@Sportsfreakconz Re 1978 - and as you’ll be aware, having read about it 😉 something that is not much mentioned is Rensenbrink hitting the post…

[Stephen Lyon @StephenLyon]

@Sportsfreakconz I’m pretty content googling “Brazil v Italy 1982” and “Eder free kicks 1982”
