Lee Dixon could commentate on a bank robbery, a UFO landing and a T-Rex riding a unicycle at the same time and still sound like he's describing a rainy Tuesday afternoon trip to pick up his dog’s ashes.

"The strategic myopia displayed by Sir Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves is a condition shared by a parliamentary Labour Party that is the most unserious and most intellectually arid ever to attain power." A withering leader in today's Times.

So many people in this photo have now left us - but we are still left with their genius… Tommy Cooper :- “Ma’am - do you like football?” Queen Elizabeth II :- “No - not really” Tommy Cooper :- “Well, can I have your Cup Final tickets?” #cockney #humour #worldcup

Absolutely howling at some of these answers 🤣

Quality.

Important to give Stokes and Atkinson the benefit of the doubt. Given everything this week they probably just met an inconsistent bouncer

Well done to the social media person at Rowhead Farm near Stirling in Scotland for what is possibly the greatest Facebook post of all time …

We are desperately saddened to report the passing of our former Academy player Anthony Renton. An inspirational character, Anthony bravely battled leukaemia for almost nine years - and never let it diminish his love of our game. Anthony was a promising defender and had only recently signed his first professional terms with Boro when he was first diagnosed with leukaemia back in July 2017. Despite the many challenges and setbacks he faced as a result of his cancer battle, Anthony continued to be a beacon of positivity. He spent many of his later years in coaching, including some time with our Academy. His dedication to supporting young footballers in their development both on and off the pitch will always be remembered, and leaves a lasting legacy with so many children and their families across Teesside. Anthony’s commitment was recognised when he was named a hugely deserved first winner of our MFC Academy Alumni Award in March 2026. Anthony passed away peacefully over the weekend at the age of 27. Our thoughts go out to Anthony’s family and friends at this devastating time.

Brian Clough, who loved cricket, bowling at Lord's in a charity match in front of 8000 spectators in August 1975. Clough took 2 for 45 dismissing the great cricketing pair of Geoff Boycott and, er, Clement Freud. With the bat he scored 13. A lover of cricket, he once said he would have prefer to make a Test century at Lord's than to have scored a hat-trick at Wembley

Eleven years, today, the world tragically lost the absolute legend that was Jerry Collins 💔 4th November 1980 - 5th June 2015 Thanks for the incredible memories, big man. Always in our hearts. 🖤

The family memorial inscriptions on Commonwealth War Graves are always so profoundly moving. Private Cyster: “He gave the dearest thing in the world, his beautiful unfinished life.” Lt Brotheridge: “Out of the bitterness of war he found the perfect peace.” Private Corteil: “Had you known our boy you would have loved him too, ‘Glen’ his paratroop dog was killed with him.” [note the dog toys left on the grave] Private Harbert: “How can the memory fade of one who gave up his young life so unselfishly?”

Ray’s Rock - Omaha Beach On the morning of June 6, 1944, 23 year old Staff Sergeant Arnold “Ray” Lambert came ashore with the first wave of the 1st Infantry Division on the eastern side of Omaha Beach. At this small patch of concrete he saved nearly 20 lives: The division came under intense fire from several German bunkers surrounding the entrance to the Colville Draw (one of two exits off Omaha Beach). Ray, a medic, immediately went to work. He was shot in the arm. Moments later he was hit by shrapnel in the leg, but Ray kept pulling men to safety. He pulled nearly 20 wounded soldiers to cover behind this 8ft wide obstacle, treating each soldier before going out in search of others. After several hours under fire, while pulling a wounded soldier from the ocean, he was struck by a landing craft. It dropped its ramp on top of him, breaking his back. He fell face down in the water, drowning. The craft backed up and nearby soldiers pulled an unconscious Ray to safety, eventually evacuating him off the beach. Remarkably, Ray had already earned two Silver Stars and three Purple Hearts in Sicily and North Africa, prior to landing in France. But here in Normandy his war would end. He awoke in a hospital back in England a day later. In the next bed over was his brother, who had also been wounded at Omaha. When asked about his work on D-Day, Ray simply said, “I did what I was called to do.” Ray Lambert passed in 2021 at 100 years old. He exemplified the best of American grit and why remembering this day is so important.
