Wow, That was a brilliant tribute to a legend of a player. As many have said, very emotional. Now what a guy to have in the backroom coaching and helping new players - gives hope even in this most difficult of seasons.
From the Argus the other day:

Actually Maupay has a really good all-time competitive record taking penalties. He's missed just that Scmeichel one in 11 penalties taken. So let's forget the friendly one and have a bit more faith, especially as Gross probably won't be around so much.

Apparently August 15th 1999 (though text gets it wrong with 2019) when Charlie Oatway got sent off for biting a Darlington player ... https://darlingtonfc.co.uk/news/pic-from-the-past-brighton-1999
Saw the original Mac in Worthing about 1970. Will be sadly missed in person but fortunately he leaves behind a wealth of his music which is signature, sounding like no other. RIP
New album "Shapeshifting" in April by the one and only Joe Satriani - cannot believe he's playing at Bexhill's De La Warr Pavilion this time in the promotional tour! The album is part-produced with Jim Scott of Foo Fighters and Red Hot Chilis fame. This track is from the album and just released...
True but we have a really good record for New Year's Day fixtures, and equally Chelsea have a very poor record for the same. Let's start the year with a little bit of optimism!
