Twitter reports that the England squad (hack branch) had a bit of a do in Miami last night to mark the impending retirement of BBC Football Correspondent and Commentator, Mike Ingham, MBE (Herbert Strutt Grammar and Birmingham). The World Cup will be his last major tournament. There were speeches from colleague Ian Dennis and Henry Winter of the Telegraph, and a "modest" response from Ingham.
No mention, so far, of tributes from the equally modest Alan Green, the "freelance" (Ma Hodge would say different) so often paired with Mike until cost-cutting moved the BBC to one commentator and one summariser for most games. Alan, who lost his place on the 606 football phone-in rota last year, is believed to be on a contract up for consideration after Brazil.
