NEARLY 15 years ago I cradled my newborn son in my arms, the proudest bloke on this earth.

On Friday I watched a snapshot of the Edgbaston lunch session between England and S Africa from the pub near the office...a very proud man once more.

I'VE spent the last couple of days on a visit up north to see my uncle, who is bravely battling cancer.

We timed it to coincide with a visit of the family's traditional football team Brentford, who were playing Stockport close to his home.

He used to watch the Bees as a lad but now has a pal who has connections at Stockport and arranged for my uncle, aunt, cousin, his little lad and me to enjoy a pre-match meal and watch the game as guests of County.

And for any Blues fan terrified of leaving the Premiership, fear not - football outside the top flight is proper football and it's alive and well thank you very much.
