Strange stuff from The New Statesman!!
Unsporting behaviour in the Westminster All-Party Football Group. A lads' coup engineered by the House of Commons goalie, Gerry Sutcliffe, deprived hapless Joan Walley (Stoke-on-Trent Rovers) of the chairmanship after 12 years serving as vice-chair. Alan Keen, a Brentford supporter, was installed amid charges of game-fixing. The guest of honour, Garth Crooks of Spurs fame, found himself drafted as independent scrutineer of the poll. Walley was near to tears, and took her ball away. Meanwhile, Clive Soley MP made a cameo appearance in A Kick Up the R's, the fanzine of his team, Queen's Park Rangers. "He knows f*** all about football, but he's been good to QPR," observed the writer. http://www.newstatesman.com/200110290009I always thought Alan Keen MP was a Middlesbrough supporter or at least he has claimed to be in the past.
