When men were men
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.If you want forthright opinions on football, there's no one blunter than Brian Clough. No one, that is, except Tommy Docherty. When asked on his no-frills Radio 5 phone-in show, Jim and the Doc, why he thought Tottenham's Romanian international, Ilie Dumitrescu, wasn't cut out for the rigours of British football, he replied: "Wears gloves". He might as well have said, "Nancyboy", and he probably will when taking the stage this Tuesday at Lewisham Theatre alongside Big Malcolm Allison, the champagne- loving, good-time Seventies manager of Manchester City and Crystal Palace. The game's not what it was, men are no longer men and whatever happened to football's colourful characters. The Doc and Big Mal know more footballing clichs than you've ever dreamed of.
Lewisham Theatre, Rushey Green, Catford SE6 (081-690 0002) 8pm Tue 7 Mar, £8.50-7.50
