substack.com/home/post/p-212… The Phantom Flan Flinger continues his sojourn through the 1967/68 FA Cup campaign with a glance into the remarkable story of the equally cursed and blessed Graham Lovett. From a broken neck, and being told his career was over, to a cup winners' medal.

yourboystookahellofabeating.… For this week's Boys on Film, the Phantom Flan Flinger takes another look at The Damned United, and he's so disappointed that he draws parallels to Brokeback Mountain. Once you've visualised Clough and Taylor in cowboy hats, you'll not sleep tonight...
