I tell you something. The evolution of Adam Clery from ‘guy I watched doing wrestling lists on YouTube’ -> ‘football writer I pay actual money to read’, via ‘host of Friday feelgood wrestling podcast’ and ‘far-too-busy man behind the scenes’, is not something I had on my bingo card. But I’m delighted it happened in my reality.

Almost as delighted as I was when hometown club Cove Rangers slayed Berwick Rangers en route to The Big Leagues, but that’s a thing that’s only been said as a cruel jibe to counterbalance the nice thing I said earlier.

Really happy this happened for/to you. Keep it up, brother 🙌🏻

Mike, do you want to know something absolutely insane? The Berwick manager for both legs of that promotion playoff was... my dad.

I think I stumbled across that fact during a mid-lockdown Twitter scroll through your timeline, inspired by my wondering where you’d disappeared to. Small world huh?

That playoff was nothing personal, strictly business. If anything, I like the fact that Berwick’s badge has a bear on it!

Great article. Was in Annecy this time last year. Apart from losing my daughter for an hour and having to get the French police and some Australian cyclists involved to help find her, it was the best holiday in years and one of the best places on earth. Just wish I'd known about the football team.
