The Man Who Shouts gives an insight into what it was like working for Capital Gold Sport which had Jonathan Pearce as its main commentator, driving force and inspiration and which revolutionised football reporting in this country.

In 1989 Simon Michaelson began working as a football reporter for Charing Cross Hospital Radio and the Sportsvox agency. In 1991 he got a dream move to Capital Gold Sport, London’s legendary award-winning radio station. Simon’s encounters with stellar figures such as Malcolm Allison, Elton John, Rodney Marsh, Matt Le Tissier and Bobby Moore are documented in the book as are his experiences as Capital Gold Sport’s Watford reporter.

Woven into the narrative are descriptions of events in Simon’s life which led to him becoming a football reporter including a trip to Morocco and a hair-raising ride through the Pyrenees in Spain. The book is about football and features characters from the game’s diverse and colourful spectrum. But it’s not just about football, it’s a unique, beguiling and entertaining blend of football, adventure and fun.

Author: Simon Michaelson had been a long-standing football supporter when he began working as a football reporter in 1989. Two years later he landed a dream gig working for London’s legendary award-winning station Capital Gold Sport. Simon became Capital Gold Sport’s Watford reporter and wrote a column for the Watford match day programme.

He also wrote articles for Kick It City, a short-lived but fondly remembered magazine focussing on London football. He contributed a number of entries for a 2003 book entitled “you are my Watford… Two hundred things that make Watford Football Club special” (proceeds from sales donated to Watford Supporters Trust).

Works really well and it actually holds a lot

Great product I love that you can put it extended open or or not depending on the width of your silverware drawer on your kitchen or you can use it for tools. You can use it for nuts and bolts. You can use it for I don’t know paintbrushes if you want to. I don’t know if you really want to. I have one in my kitchen and I have one in my living room in my bedroom just to put pens and stuff like that in them. If you have a wide silverware cabinet drawers, you can extend it a lot more than what you see in my picture, but I was able to extend it way more than what was there before and I really like how it is.

Exactly as expected

This expandable silverware organizer made such a difference in my kitchen drawers. It sounds dramatic for a utensil organizer, but it genuinely made everything feel cleaner, more organized, and less chaotic. I love that it expands because it made it super easy to customize to my drawer size instead of awkwardly leaving unused space. The compartments are roomy enough to hold a lot without everything getting jumbled together, and I like that there are enough sections for silverware plus extra kitchen tools and gadgets. It helped me finally give everything a designated place, which is especially satisfying when setting up a new kitchen. Even though it’s plastic, it doesn’t feel flimsy or cheap. It feels sturdy once in the drawer, slides open smoothly, and has held up really well with daily use. I also appreciate that it’s lightweight and easy to wipe clean if crumbs or dust get inside. Overall, this is one of those simple organizational purchases that makes everyday life easier. My kitchen drawers look so much more put together now, and it’s nice not having to dig through clutter every time I need a fork or cooking utensil. Definitely worth it for anyone trying to organize their kitchen without spending a ton.
