And Simon was able to watch a man with four fingers and one eye explain to Scotland striker Kevin Gallagher that cutting the tops off coconuts was a job for life. Remember this @IanPayneITV

With NUFC currently in Asia, Editor Brian Aitken, selected this article by Simon Rushworth from The QT archives. Dateline: Trinidad, 2000. No internet, no signal. Sir Bobby wrapped up a transfer over a couple of lemonades, and Simon was 'at work' with these players...

Reform sitting on a SEND timebomb set to go off in eight months, and they're not happy at not receiving an invite to this year's Gala. Still, this week's Eyes & Ears contains a link to Chris Stewart's wonderful memories of Gala days gone by: https://t.co/hwfvxPBWxn

Michael Chaplin is a wonderful writer. It's almost exactly a year ago that he took stock of his collection of walking sticks and conjured up this wonderful piece of story-telling for The QT. It's there to be enjoyed!
