Just found this 1989 Crawley and District Observer profile of an 18-year-old Gareth Southgate Awaiting his professional debut at Crystal Palace, he spoke of his goal: “I’d like to keep progressing and eventually break into the first team, but my ambition is to play for England."

Love this Arsenal shirt celebrating African players & supporters with the colours of the Pan-African flag, which was adopted in 1920 in New York A couple of years later an all-black football team was created in NYC, called the Western Tigers. Wonder what colour their kits were…

If you're thinking of a walking holiday, I highly recommend the Via degli Dei (Path of Gods) 6 days of beautiful mountains, charming villages, cheap pasta and gelato Just avoid July/August. The 35-degree heat was unbearable at times

77 years ago this week right-wing racist riots took place in many of the cities seeing violence now In Liverpool alone Synagogues were smashed and burned, Jews attacked, and ‘Death to all Jews’ painted on the docks Shameful we’ve forgotten such history

Bought a shirt from FC Tulsa last year and now get regular emails with offers that are increasingly tempting given the costs of watching Arsenal A community club with $6 tickets, $1 beers, and half-time hot dog eating contests!

There were many great moments of London 2012 but my favourite was joining the Wembley booing of Sepp Blatter as he handed out the medals at the women’s football final

Regretfully missing BSSH #BSSH2024 as attending a wedding in Cambridge But staying at Christ’s College I took the chance to explore their football archive which includes writings of renowned physicist (and eugenicist) Charles Galton Darwin - the grandson of Charles

My #Barclaysman is my grandfather, Michael Madgwick, who worked for Barclays Bank from 18 until retirement (with a National Service break) A Watford supporter since the 1930s, he was a shareholder and proudly once lent Elton John a pen! He passed away this week. We’ll miss him

1999 article on prospect of a foreign England manager: “Putting an Italian, German or Frenchman in charge - whatever next!” “What have they got that we haven’t (Well, seven World Cups actually!)” 25 years on and Italy, Germany, and France now have 10 World Cups between them…

Reflecting on this excellent 2020 article by Thomas Frank (the historian of left-wing populism not the Brentford manager!) “Now we stand chastened, humiliated, bewildered. Democracy? We tremble to think of what it might do next.” harpers.org/archive/2020/0…
