Richard Caborn, the athlete, is on a roll.
Yet even Caborn concedes his valedictory assessment of the past four years can only start with that disastrous Sunday morning when, a couple of days after taking office, he was ridiculed for his utter failure to answer five simple questions put to him by Clare Balding in a live radio interview.
During Caborn's time as minister, football has been blighted by a bleak assortment of themes - from obscene extravagance to bankruptcy, roasting to tapping-up, from threatened strikes by the national team to cyber hooliganism.

Caborn will convene a meeting on Dec 8 under the auspices of the UK presidency of the EU, most likely in Leipzig, where the draw for next summer's World Cup finals in Germany will be made 24 hours later.
It is anticipated that the involvement of the EU will also allow the initiative to examine ways of encouraging the development of homegrown players, presently an area where attempts to impose greater regulation have been scuppered by European employment laws.
Caborn said the investigation was fuelled by a desire to restore order in a multi-million-pound industry perceived by some to have moved beyond the control of its governing bodies and into the hands of individuals clubs or organisations.
