I have put him in this thread not because he is the son of a famous football journalist but because it seems Mike himself worked for SKY Sports for years and was known in those circles. Presumably as a journalist of some kind ,not sure. The tweets are about Mike , the linked article is about his father Steve Curry who I think died only last year.
