    Football is indeed a branch of science

    Jossy's Giants was a seminal programme in the eighties and is part of the fabric that was my youth. A simple story about misfits coming good, redemption through the power of hope and above all, football. Jossy's Giants was a towering giant of a show and i'm thankful that Sid Waddell, the guru of Darts commentators, dreamt this up. My world is all the richer for seeing this show and i miss it terribly.

    Pure genius.
