Can a club change its name?
Can we dump Hove (or vice-versa) and can Leeds United become RB United or RB Leeds?

No, because "Brighton and Albion" would be a stupid name

It’s really poor goalkeeping - he took his eye off the ball. But on the final replay in these highlights, you can see it spins off the turf a full foot to the left. Still a bad keeping error, but he was done by the spin I think.
Good.
Isn't it f***ing amazing!
He didn't accommodate the spin. It was an extreme spin. You have to accommodate the spin. Or you're f***ed:
How f***ed? Think "Thank goodness for Boris and Truss: without them, you would be poorer and probably dead from Covid" level spin-f***ed.

This error takes me back 56 years, but has stuck in my memory all of these years.
Hopeless at football but forced to play at school I decided to play in goal. The match was at the Downlands School, Hassocks, the pitch bottom left of the playing field. All changed now I expect but I so remember it.
During my first match a back pass came my way, I had the ball covered (I could pick it up back then). Knelt down just as I'd practised, here it comes, 23 players watching my talent along with the teacher, I'm a pro me. The ball was coming quite fast, calm down you've got it, BANG it hits a bit of uneven turf and flies past me to the right (I even remember where it went!).
Dropped from football I never played again.

I raise you Perry Digweed at Peterborough in 1986. The ball hit a lump of ice and looped over him.
Mind you, he should have been sent off a long time before then.

Leeds conceding in injury time. Like a.cup of hot cocoa. It gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling.
Wonderful

Enckleman's was a worse error:
But the fact Meslier's occurred in the last seconds of the match and denied dirty Leeds the win, was absolutely epic (shame it was Martinez doing that for Villa, mind).
OTD 20 years ago: Peter Enckelman's howler in Second City derby
It was on this day 20 years ago that Aston Villa goalkeeper Peter Enckelman had a moment to forget as his side lost to Birmingham City 3-0 in the Premier League.
