Why Tottenham legend Jimmy Greaves will not attend the Capital One Cup final against Chelsea - Telegraph
Telegraph Sport had a request to speak to Greaves about his decision not to go to games turned down, but theories linger around Tottenham that he has never fully forgiven the club for the manner of his departure 45 years ago. Greaves has made no secret of the fact that he was unhappy with way he felt he was forced out of Spurs to West Ham United in 1970 as part of the deal that took Martin Peters to White Hart Lane.

If you think Britain’s corrupt now, watch what happens if we ban second jobs for MPs
Last year, I had an exchange with Hugo Rifkind on Twitter in which I bet him dinner at Clarke’s that his father would stand down before the next election. My reasoning was that, at the age of 68, his dad wouldn’t want to serve another five years in the Commons and would be happier in the Lords. Rifkind has a majority of 8,616, which makes it a safe seat, and it’s only a 15-minute cycle ride from my house. Ed Miliband has already said that he intends to ban them from taking second jobs if Labour wins in May, and he may well succeed in bouncing David Cameron into making a similar commitment.
