Football and religion

There is much consternation in the city as far as the team is concerned, will they survive or will they be relegated? The club is looking for new investment so why shouldn't the evangelical church man who is building sites in Drayton and on the Heartease recognise that was put so well by Bill Shankly that "soccer is bigger than life and death"! is the evangelist listening?





In relation to politics, old Bill came up with another little cracker especially now considering the financial markets bottling it. "The socialism I believe in is everybody working for the same goal and everybody having a share in the rewards. That's how I see football, that's how I see life". Not Bevan, but not wrong either.

About Me

Norwich, Norfolk, United Kingdom
I have been the MP for Norwich North since 1997. Before being an MP I was Dean of Biology at the University of East Anglia. My work in Parliament and in Norwich has primarily consisted of advocacy work and pushing the government to take more notice of the role that science plays (and can play) in our nation. My scientific background has meant that I have been involved in numerous groups and charities in Parliament. I am a member of the Innovation, Universities, Science and Skills committee and chair of tha all party group on cancer.
