The Samurai from Twickenham The Soma Wild Horse Chase Narrator
Michael Dean
Michael Jay is an Englishman born, as he says, ' in the wrong place at the wrong time'. He's a 35-year-old airline pilot from Twickenham, whose obsessive interest lies on the other side of the world, in Japan. Having won his black belt in judo, he became deeply involved in the martial arts of that exclusive warrior class, the Samurai. For ten years he has practised the skills of sword and horsemanship.
Married into a Japanese family, he is now accepted by the descendants of the fighting horsemen of the Soma region as a Samurai himself -indeed, he has become the only foreigner to take part in The Soma Wild Horse Chase. It is an event that dates back 1,000 years to the days when the warriors rode out to round up the wild horses. Today the ' Chase ' continues the tradition of the great Samurai battles of centuries past.

... of documentary The Rovers
1982/3 was Tranmere Rovers centenary season. They should have been over the moon. But by November they were a very sick parrot indeed. Everywhere soccer gates were dwindling. But when you have only 1,500 supporters and live in the shadow of Anfield, the defection of only a few can edge you nearer the Receiver.
To pay their debts they sold players. By selling players they lost even more supporters. It was a downward spiral. Twice they were to make their farewell appearance. Twice they were saved. Even today something could blow the final whistle on the centenary celebrations.
