ilam Posted 29 June 2006 Posted 29 June 2006 I`ve just finished listening to a cracking play on Radio 4, titled Alf Said I Was Great, written by Colin Shindler, it tells the story of Len Farley, a fictitious Leicester City player who didn't quite make the World Cup squad in 1966, even though Alf Ramsey told him he was great. As he lies in his hospital bed after falling ill while commentating, he's visited by his son, Will, also a footballer. Despite being a lesser talent than his dad, Will drives a Ferrari and is more interested in property development than football. Some interesting references to old and new city players..and crap local radio commentators! Well worth a listen, it should be on the BBC`s listen again web site in a day or two, and you will be able to either listen live, or down load it, to listen on the privacy of your iPod, where knowone need ever know you are a secret Radio 4 listener.

Ricey Posted 29 June 2006 Posted 29 June 2006 Listening to it now, it's great I must admit. The writer is clearly a Leicester fan.
Ricey Posted 29 June 2006 Posted 29 June 2006 That was really good, just finished listening to it now. The end was great, having a testimonial with O'Neills 1997 cup winning side...they even came out to the post horn gallop! Good stuff.
