My student Fabio
I think I am entitled to a small claim to fame and one which grows each day as all the financial machinations surrounding the appointment of a new England football coach move forward.
Many years ago, after completing my MA, I was awarded a scholarship to the ‘Academia di Brera’ in Milan. And whilst the disappointing scholarship, which lacked promised funding, proceeded, I needed to supplement my income in some other way. Teaching English seemed the best option.
Lo and behold after a few months experience I was given the ’star’ student, one Fabio Capello, who it would appear is going to be the next coach of England.

Amazingly he never tired of talking about football.
P.S If you think his English is not so good don’t blame me. Please.
