Sad to hear former Kent and England spin bowler Derek Underwood has died, aged 78.
In his book Opening Up, Geoffrey Boycott described Underwood as having 'the face of a choirboy, the demeanour of a civil servant and the ruthlessness of a rat catcher'.
An all-time cricket great.

Martin Samuel in his column in The Times yesterday.
Yes, I agree. It would appear they're doing all they can to keep Everton in the Premier League at the expense of Luton Town FC and others.

Two great sayings by former Luton Town FC manager Joe Kinnear who has died, aged 77:
'Champagne ideas and Coca Cola pockets' - club owner John Gurney.
'I've got several irons in the fire' - when asked about transfer targets.
'Big Fat Joe' - gone but never forgotten by Hatters fans.

'It's never dull is it, supporting Luton Town FC?'
That was manager Rob Edwards' opening comment when interviewed after yesterday's vital win.
You're right there, Rob, but we wouldn't want it any other way.

Teenage darts sensation Luke Littler predicts @lutontown will beat Bournemouth tomorrow.
The 17-year-old said: 'Luton have got Ross Barkley, going box to box. I'm a big fan of his. 2-1.'
The Hatters are aiming for a win and let's hope they're on target as often as Luke the Nuke.

Eleven players unavailable through injury, losing at half-time to an in-form side, but never write off Luton Town FC
The Hatters are still in the Premier League relegation fight after a wonderful second half performance and knowing this team, they will battle all the way.

British flavoured sausages:
'Smoked in the exhaust fumes of a Lancaster bomber and seasoned with ash from a Benson & Hedges cigarette, Nigel Farage's dandruff and the drool from an XL Bully.'

Remembering one of the greatest moments in the history of Luton Town FC 15 years ago today (April 5, 2009).
The Hatters won the JP Trophy after beating Scunthorpe Utd 3-2 in a thrilling final.
I was there, of course, among the orange sea of 40,000 Luton fans at Wembley.

Bloody disrespectful to Luton Town FC by Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer on Match Of The Day.
Hatters team without 11 or 12 injured players holds Arsenal side top of the Premier League and aiming to win Champions League to 2-0 on their own patch and their brave performance is ignored.

Garth Crooks still disrespectful to Luton Town FC.
Naming Son Heung-min in his Team Of The Week, he says: 'After their diabolical performance against Fulham before the international break we saw Tottenham make very hard work of a game against Luton that should have been routine.'

Easter Monday is a big day in @lutontown history.
Joe Payne scored 10 goals for Hatters in 12-0 win v Bristol Rovers in 1936 - a Football League record unlikely to be beaten.
Payne in classic Hatters shirt, the football, now deflated, from the game and his England shirt badge.

Happy birthday to my dog Milly - ten years old today and still as much of a handful as when she joined my family at the age of seven weeks.

Today, if someone is said to be living the life of Riley, it probably means they've stolen his identity.
