Jay's Bio

A lifelong Liverpool fan, my hobbies include badger wrestling, spoon collecting and making statues out of custard. I'm never far from my trusty SpiderMan pyjamas, and like replacing the books in the braille library with cheese graters.

LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND - APRIL 11: A Liverpool fan pays his respects to those who died in the Hillsborough disaster prior to the during the Barclays Premier League match obetween Liverpool and Blackburn at Anfield on April 11, 2009 in Liverpool, England. On April 15 it will be the 20th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster, the bells of Liverpools two cathedrals will ring 96 times in memory of the 96 fans who lost their lives. At 3:06pm, exactly 20 years since the match was abandoned Liverpools public transport will stop for 2 minutes. There will also be a memorial service on the Kop where 96 candles will be lit and a representative from each family will be awarded the freedom of the city. (Photo by Clive Rose/Getty Images)

The Short List What Jay thinks about sport's most pressing questions

Favorite Athletes

Nick Faldo (sorry, septics, but Tiger's isn't the best swing in golf), BJ Penn, Ivan Lendl, Emlyn Hughes, Dalgish, Torres, Fowler, Owen and the mighty Rushy.
Favorite Sports Teams

Liverpool FC, and a passing interest in the Canucks.
All Time Sports Moment

Too many. Nicklaus' final putt at St Andrews, Shevchenko missing THAT penalty in Istanbul, Ben Johnson destroying everyone in THAT 100m final, watching Ayrton Senna die (it was surreal, seeing possibly the greatest person in his sport driving one second, and gone the next), Heysel, the 1988-89 season for all the wrong reasons ...
Most Memorable Game Attended

A UNICEF Americas vs Rest of the World Charity football (soccer, for the silly people) match in LA, 1986.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Pele. 1281 goals
Ruth or Mays?

Dr Ruth
Unitas or Montana?

Unitas? Sounds like a brand of sanitary towel.
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan, before she had her tits done.
Pele or Maradona?

Maradona
Federer or Sampras?

Sampras
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger
Schumacher or Senna?

Senna

I like Liverpool FC too, my husband's a lifelong supporter, as he's a Liverpudlian. So I'll take my chances .

Thanks Jay :)

on a side note, I dabbled in custard modeling, but can never get the consistancy right so that it holds its exact shape, it always seems to "melt" and lose consistancy in turn leading to a very melted looking statue......how do you mange to keep yours stable enough to hold its shape?

It was just to let you know I changed the date on your article but then I changed m mind and didnt tell you......but now im telling you......so it was a pointless excercise.

I was referring to the one where I said, "I'm not reading that." But hey, it's easy to get my comments confused when they are all 5 star comments.

Nowhere in that comment or in any other comment do I have any spelling and/or punctuation errors. In fact, I hound him for having too many spelling and punctuation errors. I don't know what you're talking about. My comments are next to none. He even knows that I have him beat, he just continues to go back to some old argument. Flawless, sir. My comments are flawless.
