Footage of a 9-year-old Lionel Messi doing kick-ups on the El Coloso pitch. The crowd chants "Marado, Marado", already comparing him to Maradona. Messi's "Machine of 87" team had won the 1996 Copa de la Amistad in Peru & were presented to the fans. (π½οΈ MatΓas Sauro YouTube)

The Isaac Newell Trophy final, which was held at the home of Chatham Town, made the news in Argentina! β€οΈπ€ Next year Terry Cooper, chairman of Rochester & District Football League, would love a real McCoy Argentine footballer to attend! Any ideas who? lacapital.com.ar/ovacion/la-cunβ¦


My first Gillingham game was on Saturday October 25th 1975 versus Walsall FC October 25th this year also falls on a Saturday. For a long time I have had the strange feeling that I might be watching the exact same fixture, exactly 50 years later! Fixtures are released tomorrow!
