Hunter Davies in the New Statesman

For those unaware Hunter Davies is the only authorised biographer of the Beatles, while they were still the Beatles. He is definitively from Oop North but has long lived in that area of North London that would be called Woke Central by the right-wing media were it not for the reality that most of them also live there.

A long time Spurs and the writer of a column on football on the NS for what seems like ever.

He is now 90 and while I’m 20 years younger he makes the valid point that the 2026 World Cup should be one to enjoy because you never know if you’ll be around for the next.

How to enjoy it? Looks for the upsets, support the underdog and tune out the Big Football of Infantino and FIFA
