One of the boys: From Scenes Like These, by Gordon M. Williams, reviewed
Although Gordon M. Williams died as recently as 2017, his heyday was the Wilson/Heath era of the late 1960s and 1970s. During that time he managed to appear on the inaugural Booker shortlist, dash off a ten-day potboiler, The Siege of Trenchard's Farm, that would be filmed by Sam Peckinpah, and continue to file a series of ghost-written newspaper columns for the England football captain Bobby Moore. As these accomplishments might suggest, Williams was the kind of writer whom the modern publishing world no longer seems to rate. Essentially, he was a literary jack-of-all-trades, alternating straightforward hackwork with more elevated material as the mood took him, and eventually abandoning fiction for a desultory career as a screenwriter. Such scattergun reputations are difficult to revive, and Picador is to be congratulated for returning Williams's one undoubted masterpiece to print. The jacket of my ancient paperback of From Scenes Like These carries a quote from the 1968 Guardian review claiming that it lays bare 'the wellsprings of violence'. Certainly these dispatches from the front line of mid-1950s Ayrshire are awash with retributive punch-ups and saloon-bar mayhem. But their real subject is corruption, or, to put it less dramatically, the urge to conform. Duncan 'Dunky' Logan, Williams's teenage hero, enters the pages as a decent-seeming apprentice farmworker with a nice girl to take to the cinema on Saturday nights and a hutchful of rabbits to inspect on Sunday. He ends as one of the lads, tanked up and fancy-free, on his way to the New Year's Day Rangers-Celtic game at Hampden Park. Innocuous and easily led, Dunky is (as Williams constantly reminds us) unable to resist the appeals of his Macmillan-era male role models to 'be a man' – that is, to get drunk, make a nuisance and treat women like dirt. Context is provided by the farm, whose elderly owner is in decline, while a newly arrived and pregnant housekeeper schemes to marry his son. In the tenement house – from which Dunky longs to escape – also live his vicious, disabled father, his genteelly aspiring mother and his younger sister. With its distinctive supporting cast – including the ladies' man Telfer, who has an eye on the housekeeper, and Dunky's old schoolmaster, who despairs of his former pupil's cheerful embrace of convention – From Scenes Like These, reissued with a shrewd introduction by James Robertson, operates on several levels. Unsurprisingly, given Williams's later collaborations with the England manager Terry Venables, some of its best scenes follow Dunky's exploits on the football field. These combine third-party reportage with Dunky's own view of himself, enabling the reader to watch the game while simultaneously occupying the space inside Dunky's head as he plays it. Dreams of becoming a professional footballer end with an on-field dust-up in which Dunky's front teeth get knocked out. All that awaits him, we infer, is a lifetime of stasis, pints of 'heavy' and following wherever the crowd may lead. Williams balances his hero's inertia with the satisfactions of fitting in. We are back with the 'Ordinary Boys' of Morrissey's song, trapped in 'the lair of their ordinary world', where they nevertheless 'feel so lucky'.

Inter Milan 'join race for Chelsea star' as they 'rival Man United and Bayern Munich' for £52.7m man's signature
Inter Milan have joined the race to sign a Chelsea star who joined the club for £52.7million, according to a report. The Blues' full focus has been on the Club World Cup, having reached the final of the newly-revamped competition, where they will face Champions League winners PSG for the right to be crowned world champions. That hasn't stopped them being active in the transfer market, though. Joao Pedro and Liam Delap arrived for £60m and £30m respectively, while the likes of Jamie Gittens and Estevao have also joined. Once again, though, they have been left with an inflated squad, and are expected to offload players when they have finished competing in the United States this summer. One of the players to leave could well be Christopher Nkunku, who joined the Blues two years ago from RB Leipzig but has struggled for consistency at Stamford Bridge and failed to nail down a regular spot in the team. Now, according to Gianluca Di Marzio, Inter Milan are the latest side to have offered the 27-year-out a route out of the club after registering their interest in his services. Manchester United are reportedly interested in securing the Frenchman's signature and the Blues appear ready to part with him, despite signing the 27-year-old on a six-year deal for a hefty fee just two years ago. The Red Devils have already made contact with Nkunku, according to L'Equipe, while a swap deal with United outcast Alejandro Garnacho heading the other way has been touted. BILD state that Bayern Munich are also in talks with Nkunku's agent Pini Zahavim, but little progress has been made thus far. Inter are looking to rebuild their attack under new manager Cristian Chivu on the back of a tough campaign last year. They did reach the Champions League final, but were humbled by PSG and Simone Inzaghi departed for Al-Hilal. Speaking after Chelsea's final Club World Cup group game, a 3-0 win over ES Tunis, meanwhile, Blues manager Maresca failed to offer any guarantees over Nkunku's future, revealing 'anything can happen' in the window. The Italian boss said: 'If Christo [Nkunku] is here with us, it is because we think he can help us and he can be with us even next season. But as you said, there are many speculations, not just about Christo, about many players. 'And then if something is going to happen, I don't know because we said many times when the transfer window is open, anything can happen in terms of players that can arrive or players that can leave.'

I want to be remembered by the Rangers fans FOREVER, says Gers new loan signing Nasser Djiga
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NASSER DJIGA has joined Rangers for one season, but he wants the fans to remember him forever. The £10million Wolves stopper penned a loan deal yesterday — then split his head open in his first training session.

Djiga, 22, said: 'I want to play a lot of games, and one of my objectives is to make the fans happy. "I hope that when I'm not here, the Rangers supporters will always remember the name of their defender, Nasser Djiga. 'I already knew about Rangers before, they are one of the biggest clubs in Scotland and Europe. 'I'm very happy and proud to join the Rangers team. I believe it will be a good season.' It didn't take long for Djiga to suffer his first blow as a Gers star, as he was forced out of training after he suffered a freak injury during a passing drill yesterday. The 22-year-old had to get bandaged up by club docs. Russell Martin's No 2 Matt Gill expressed disbelief at the incident. Asked how the defender got on in his first session, he told Rangers TV: 'He did great. He's actually the first signing I've ever known to split his head open in a passing drill. 'Nasser's going to be nice and aggressive for us which is good!' The defender was still smiling when he got taped up by medics. New Rangers chiefs Andrew Cavenagh and Paraag Marathe's first interview Djiga had already played in Switzerland, France and Serbia, before his big-money switch to Molineux last January. He played only six first-team games for Wolves in the second half of last season, and has now been sent out to gain valuable first-team experience. Djiga added: 'This will be a good decision to come here. Coming for a year on loan is perfect. 'It's difficult for young players when you start your career in Africa. 'But my ambition and passion pushed me to give everything and attain my objective of being a professional footballer. 'I went to Switzerland which was good because it was my first professional contract. 4 Nasser Djiga at Wolverhampton Wanderers Credit: Getty 'I didn't play a lot of games, but it was still a good experience. 'After that, I went to France with Nimes and I played a lot. 'After there, I went to the Serbian league, where I played many games. That was one of the best moments of my life. 'After that, it was England. Everyone knows it's the best league and I'm very happy there.' Djiga follows Lyall Cameron, Max Aarons, Joe Rothwell, Emmanuel Fernandez and Thelo Aasgaard into Ibrox. He said: 'First of all, I'm good on the ball. I'm also very quick and aggressive defensively. 'It's normal for African defenders, a lot of us are aggressive in style.' 4 Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
