By Lee Alexander, Coventry & Exeter supporter.

I fell in love with football at an early age; standing on a wooden stool, supported by my Dad, watching Coventry City at home in the “covered end” at Highfield Road, or away on the asphalt banks of Fellows Park, Walsall.

It was a family thing; not just my family but being part of the football club “family”.

I was lucky enough to be at Wembley in 1987, to witness “one of the best FA Cup Finals ever” (quote: John Motson); I was with my Dad and both of my brothers and a “family” of friends. So, where’s this leading to...

Grand National History

The Grand National is one of the most famous steeplechases in the world and has come a long was since that first race back in 1839. The spectators that enjoyed that first race probably would not believe that it would still be enjoyed almost 180 years into the future.

The course has not altered that much over the years as there are still jumps and difficult terrain to negotiate.

The first official...
