OLIVER HOLT: It looks spoilt and brainless for Premier League players to stay quiet about the jab... all top 20 top-flight captains must unite together and urge those who have not been vaccinated to get it done

The last match I went to before the pandemic struck in March last year was a National League game between Maidenhead United and Stockport County at York Road. The Premier League had already brought the shutters down by then and after the final whistle, the Maidenhead manager, Alan Devonshire, expressed his disgust at the fact the match had been allowed to go ahead.

'This is about people's lives and how we were playing today, I do not know,' he said to a gaggle of us as we stood by the side of the pitch in the emptying stadium.
