I love reading football match reports and, to this day, the account of the beating that Everton handed out to Sheffield Wednesday lingers in the memory. It was 1996 and I was a 'mature student', lately a farmworker. Since then I've designed big buildings, married a television mini-mogul and run a cycling club. By contrast Michael Branch, the seventeen year old comet that flew across the darkening sky of Everton's ambitions has fallen from grace to ordinariness to just plain criminality, and now, at the age of 34, he's in the slammer for 'distributing' coke. Sic transit gloria mundi. Or, if you prefer, don't ever let the achievements of yesteryear colour your expectations. If in doubt save your money and buy yourself a pub. Do not, on any account, think that the glories of your teenage years entitle you to sell industrial quantities of narcotics.
