Bendy bus to JLA, a foot bridge at Sandhills, and a new rail line from Ditton (aka "Liverpool Gateway") to Manchester Airport. That'll be us done this side of the 50th Anniversary of the Garden Festival.

Morning Star newspaper page with the headline "soccer socialism in New York City"

The heartbeat of association football in New York lies beyond FIFA World Cup finals, in clubs old and new at the grassroots and amateur level. It's here we find NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's brushes with a local global game. This weekend's Morning Star column.
