That's the one, thanks! Christ he was a good journalist/writer. Knowledgeable, dealt in facts, gave historical context and added no little insight of his own.

I've opted not to tell it, should never have mentioned it. It would be clear to anyone at the club if they read it who the source was and my source stands to lose a shit load of money if it got out.

Eric Todd. Readable going on eloquent, fair, occasionally biased when it came to City - because he loved them.

Guilleme Balague usually speaks sense without any bullshit and sensationalism attached. Totally opposite end of the spectrum from anything named CUSTIS.
