In my mind, Saőa Ilić has a mean square cut on him. Point got no chance when he's middling it, surely. Also, the fact you've racked up more than one five-fer. Fair play. Consider me impressed.

Thank you! That's very kind πŸ™. Also, it sounds like you timed that u14s evening perfectly. If memory serves, some stuff happened in the final moments of the '99 final.

It's me, writing 3,000 words for @mundialmag.bsky.social about football and cricket (two sports I famously have no interest in and never talk about).

Yes, I've been phoning up the nation's glove-wearers again for @mundialmag.bsky.social. This one features a two-team league with only one goalkeeper in it, an (angry) wonder goal booted the full length of the pitch and much, much more

1953 FA Cup final: Just how good was Stanley Matthews? This Stanley Matthews, then, any good?

It's FA Cup Final day, #CPFC are up for the cup and I'm off to Wembley. Naturally, I've settled pre-game nerves by rewatching the famous 1953 final featuring Bolton Wanderers, Blackpool FC and a hidden gem named Stanley Matthews. Cheers to @mundialmag.bsky.social

For @mundialmag.bsky.social, I asked some amateur footballers to tell me all about their best ever assists; the final passes that they just can't stop thinking about.

Here’s to you, grassroots goalkeepers If you find someone mad enough to stand in the wind and rain for 90 minutes, never let them go…

Got a bunch of talkative goalkeepers to share with me the memories of the greatest saves they've ever made. My latest thing for @mundialmag.bsky.social

Spotted an unopened packet of Cricket '95 stickers for sale on eBay. Could not resist buying it (the mystery was just... too much). Arrived yesterday. Opened it up last night. David Sales is 17 here. Edward Hemmings only 10 years older than I am now. The 90s really was a brutal decade

Also, when in the history of social media has anyone convinced someone that their argument is wrong? I would say almost never

A reminder of Damien Delaney’s Fantasy Dinner Party guests.

Strong agree. Palace miss his work rate so much (putting aside his ability to score worldies)

If Messi had done that - Jordan Ayew This is about the time Jordan Ayew scored the greatest goal of all time...

In honour of Jordan Ayew scoring a free kick for Ghana from just 35 yards out the other day (look it up, it's unreal), here's something I wrote for Mundial mag about the night I saw him score the greatest goal of all time for Crystal Palace. What a man. What a player

Despite how casual the boys checking their phones in the background are making it look, getting to the top did actually feel like an achievement

What I Wish I Knew Before Climbing Mount Toubkal Top tips for trekking up Jebel Toubkal, the highest mountain in North Africa, from ear plugs to altitude, mental prep and socks

First time posting here. Let's start things with something I wrote for @muchbetteradven.bsky.social earlier this year. It's all about the time I climbed Toubkal (North Africa's highest point), and the things I wish someone had told me before taking it on
