    I enjoy Theo leading us through the recall of a varied cast of partisan protagonists. Football is an emotional game- we don’t participate first hand, but we feel every block and twist of fortune. It’s communal and yet intensely personal. And we love ever kick, suffer every adverse blow and win, lose or draw, come back for more. Keep ‘er lit Theo!

Life Goals with Theo Delaney - Kevin Cummins (Part 2)
