FOOTBALL fans do not need to be asked for their opinions. Visit any sports pub on big match night and you will hear men loudly proffering pointers on team selection and strategy to the big screen.
They know that their wisdom will never reach the ears that matter. Unless, that is, they sup at the Five Lions in York.
Pub landlord and England football fanatic Gary Holt met Sven-Goran Eriksson when in South Africa recently. Now his regulars will want to know how much of their tactical advice Gary managed to pass on to the coach ahead of tonight's game.
