I've been reflecting how easily we can get lost in the ephemera of our daily lives and sometimes forget about the important things. So, it was a bittersweet surprise that Matt Smith came into my thoughts this morning as I was sitting up in bed drinking tea - Earl Grey, for any wonderers out there.
I may need to explain who Matt is and describe him to you if you're not a follower of the Vanarama National League, or the 'Bananarama', as I prefer to call it. Matt is a hugely charming MC of football programmes and until this summer, he was hosting the Bananarama's live matches and highlights show. He is clearly a knowledgeable student of the game and he has a lovely way with the ex-football players who are now pundits in their pitch-side discussions. I particularly used to enjoy his gentle teasing of Aaron McLean ('Macca') and Macca's sartorial choices for the day/evening.
I began to wonder what Matt is up to now that these enjoyable programmes were so ruthlessly kiboshed by TNT Sports a few months ago. What does a football MC do after they are no longer in their happy element? If anyone knows how Matt is and what he's doing now, please let me know. I hope to see him back on a Bananarama-type show once again. Is it really too much to hope for?
Anyway, I feel better sharing this with you and thank you for your attention to my whimsical musings.
