So sad. Remembering former Wednesday star Chris Bart Williams #RIP who would have been 52 today - he shone bright, scoring 24 goals in 157 games for #swfc 1991-95. What a talent that lad was! he was worth ******* £Millions #Bartman

If it wasn’t for the Marco Van Basten goal in the final of Euro88 then Ronnie Whelan might be famous all over the world! Remember watching this live…

This was the Scotland v Haiti game and after all it wasn’t a great watch, so time better spent asleep in the early hours!
Catch up on the World Cup without any spoilers? The page on the BBC website that promises to send you where to watch match re-runs without telling you the score sounds great - until your eyes drift to two references to this morning's 2am match under "Top Stories". Aaarrrghhh!

En 2009, en las gradas del Camp Nou, Diego Maradona se sorprende cuando lo tiran de repente. Al volverse, descubre que era Johan Cruyff.

🚨 Jürgen Klopp has launched a scathing attack on the cooling breaks being used during this World Cup. 👊 "Football is being held hostage by executives sitting in air-conditioned offices. These breaks are being presented as a shield for player welfare, a noble weapon against the heat. In reality, they are nothing more than a golden cage built for sponsors. When I saw players standing around during cooling breaks while television timeouts dictated the rhythm of the match, I couldn't help but ask myself: who is the World Cup really serving? The supporters? The players? Or the advertisers? A World Cup match should flow like a river. Instead, we are building dams in the middle of it so commercials can be shown. It's dangerous for the spirit of the game. Football used to be the main event, but it now risks becoming background music for an advertising show." He didn't hold back. 👏👏

They might not have won the World Cup in 1982, but Brazil knew how to entertain. On 14/06, they beat the USSR 2–1, and Éder announced himself to the tournament with an absolute screamer.

22 years ago today: England were beating France 1-0 in stoppage time but lost 2-1. Zidane scored twice in one of the most dramatic endings ever at a European Championship. Watch both goals in real time.

Thinking of Kenny Dalglish who has just announced he has cancer. A Liverpool FC, Celtic and Scotland legend, Kenny is respected by everyone inside and outside football for his humility as well as being an incredible footballer. Stay strong Kenny, like you always have been.

James Milner retiring means 2026-27 will be the first English top-flight season since 1956-57 that will not feature a single player who played under Sir Bobby Robson.

Sad news about a legend of the game and huge personality. “The Entertainers” of 1995/96 were most none Newcastle United fans’ second favourite team back then and Kevin Keegan’s passion and honesty were part of the reason we enjoyed them so much. #kingkev bbc.co.uk/sport/football/art…
