As a young gung-ho administrator who thought he knew it all, I owe a huge debt to Maria for putting me back in my box and teaching me so much about the Women's game. It was an honour to have served with her and know her. A true legend. RIP Maria Berry.

Exactly. Last time Spurs won in Europe, not a single soul cares that they finished 8th in the First Division and lost 15.

Sunshine Smile... now there is a blast from the past. Adorable were cocky bastards, but they delivered some absolute gems on their first two albums. Sunshine Smile was a killer debut single.

It occurs to me only now with clarity that we (and by "we", I mean Australian soccer historians, but also anyone who tries to perpetuate the idea of an ongoing Australian soccer narrative) may have a fundamental misunderstanding of the "narrative" problem in Australian soccer.

This song was beloved 40 years ago. Now people are looking at it differently In 1984, Band Aidโ€™s Do They Know Itโ€™s Christmas? was lauded as a charitable masterpiece. Now, itโ€™s being talked about for other reasons.

As a nine-year-old in Melbourne, this song helped shine a light on Ethiopia like no other. As for that $15 million raised, we're not talking about the British Royal family here, this was largely the British working class who were struggling to make ends meet during a recession.

The return of the AMPOL Cup would have been ideal, but kudos to the FA on landing a naming rights sponsor for their largest domestic football property. All that is needed now is a cevapi and souvlaki sponsor and bring on 2025!
