Football SHORTS: Little wants a big task.

BRIAN LITTLE has revealed a return to managerless Darlington would "hold no fear". Little has been out of football since parting company with Tranmere over the summer but is fondly remembered in the North-East after guiding the Quakers to Conference and Division Four titles in successive seasons in the early 1990s. "Going back to Darlington would hold no fear for me. I would not be interested in the job if I was worried. I would relish the challenge," he said.
