The only place to buy them is their amazingly kitsch shop on London's Rosebery Avenue. They used fluffy mohair and knitted black ones, pink ones, blue ones and yellow ones which come vacuum-packed with the option of matching mittens. Not often enough, thankfully, to revive my old nickname, (which is Bobble Head) but enough to know there are quite a number of rather fabulous and fashionable ones in the shops. Designers Antoni & Alison were first to drag the bobble hat back from the football terraces, ski slopes and school playground. Now I'm grown up I still wear bobble hats, but only when it is really freezing.

Cats could play with them, dogs could chew them and you could sew them on to woolly hats to make them more interesting. Bobbles can be very useful things. I met my first love at After School Club during a bobble-making class We invented many uses for them. More fittingly, it is categorically the right one to adopt against this West Indies team, now showing signs of revival after their abject tour of Pakistan, and England underestimate them at their peril.Having been virtually down and out, Courtney Walsh's side have raised themselves here with some intelligent and spirited cricket. Nicholson scored again, from the spot, but a late equaliser from Lincoln led to the shoot-out.Marples, who has also kept goal for York and Stockport, has appeared at top-flight grounds before, but the same does not apply to all his team- mates.

"It's great for them because a lot of them have not even played at League grounds before, so to go to a Premiership club is just fantastic," he said.Emley hope to make at least pounds 100,000 from the third-round tie at West Ham on 3 January - funds they need to secure their future. They will be able to bring their Welfare Ground, which has a capacity of just 3,000, up to GM Vauxhall standard.The journey to Upton Park will be a special one for Emley's secretary Richard Poulain, who retired as a Football League referee at the end of last season. He supported the Hammers as a child and had trials with the London club as a teenager.Emley's manager, the former Partick Thistle, Celtic and Barnsley midfielder Ronnie Glavin, said: "Every big game you play in, every trophy you win, they've all got their own special memories."This is the same, this is a special memory as well and you just want to enjoy it. But it ranks right up there with everything else I've achieved - and it's certainly the best feeling I've had as a manager."We go to West Ham with nothing to lose," Glavin added. "The expectancy of everyone in Britain will be very low, but we will go and enjoy ourselves and give it our best shot.". Nick Skelton had put the turmoil of moving house behind him yesterday, when he rode a whirlwind clear round on Virtual Village Showtime to win the Petplan Christmas Candle Stakes on the opening day of the Olympia Show Jumping Championships. Skelton moved his home and the yard where he keeps his horses earlier this month.
