Geoff Ellis

With Tim Lovejoy at the helm, you will not be expecting an entirely straight-faced assessment of Roy Hodgson’s assignment as the new keeper of the Three Lions.

Contributors, however, do promise some gravitas, including Sven Goran-Eriksson, Graham Taylor, John Barnes and Nicky Hambleton-Jones. You may remember her as the stylist and presenter of Channel 4’s makeover show 10 Years Younger. Her views on Hodgson’s prospects of leading England to the knockout stages should be mesmerising.

But perhaps her real expertise is in predicting when he will look ten years older. Euro 2012 reaches its conclusion on 1 July.
