Looser Balls

Looser Balls was born in 1996 as a successor to Loose Balls, a magazine produced by players in the 1980s. Since then, the publication has been taken to the libel courts on more than a dozen occasions. Back in 2000, a public school youngster unsuccessfully claimed that Looser Balls had stained his character with an allegation of an after-match showers incident involving Ley Hill paceman Liam O'Neill. On another occasion, O'Neill was unable to prove to the courts that he was not the son of a local fish monger. Most recently, it was judged that Paul Green did share characteristics with IRA hunger-striker Bobby Sands, TV man Jim Rosenthal, and irritating mime-ist Marcel Marceau.

Looser Balls has fought off these challenges and gone on to win critical acclaim. Here is a selection of articles that have previously appeared in Looser Balls - and some recent material appearing exclusively on this site.
