+1. He seems like a really decent bloke with a good sense of humour. Bit quirky too.

Another great article from Luke Ablett on the Guardian this morning - I hope they keep him on to write more often, he is a refreshing breath of fresh air.

Luke Ablett is on fire at the moment. This article was really insightful. Moreover, his previous article about finals football and the difference between great players and role players was also great. While most journo's are stuck on the buddy v hawks sideshow, Luke is writing unique and moving articles. Along with the piece about Lloyd's training pre-swans, these are the best ones I've read this year.

I love Luke Ablett's tweets. A considered and thoughtful gentleman.
