16 year old boy murdered in Mexico. His teammates took him to where they used to play football. And let him score, one last time. Never seen something like this.
Sat in Switzerland watching this on TV. Feel far more emotional than after game last night. Not a bad reception for a group of players I've seen called 'cowards.' What a weird (but today, wonderful) world we live in. โค๏ธ๐ค
@donaldgmcrae@jackimmcrae Brilliant piece. You brought back lots of memories. When I first moved to London I found a box flat in Hornsey, dreaming of living my own Fever Pitch scenes. Hope it's a happy tears call with my Dad later, similar to 1989, using 10p from a phone box! Have a great day together.
This is a little self-indulgent and very personal but it's been a long old time for me and Arsenal: from apartheid to Budapest, from Swindon to Soweto and somehow ending up here, in Hungary for the Champions League final tonight, with my son @jackimmcrae

Swiss Cup Final. St Gallen who finished 2nd in the league are 1-0 up at HT v 2nd Division side who average less than 700 fans for home games.
Just before HT, St Gallen's Cup GK was sent off. VAR said no handball. Livened up second half.

The last time Arsenal were league champions, none of my children or nephews had been born. Brilliant to share the moment with my Dad tonight on the phone, who is to blame for all our suffering! #COYG โค๏ธ๐ค
Love this Panini album story. One of my first was from early 80s. Sure I remember at least two Swansea City players were photographed in their socks, with no boots. Positive it's not a dream.

You can read about the Fratton Park event here. Such stories can definitely help adults, as much as they can children, to understand each other.

Something (allegedly at this stage) negative can hopefully be turned into a positive. If interviews like this one with Luke Ayling resurface, people will improve their understanding and in future think twice about mocking.

Author @DanFreedman99 wrote a brilliant book about a young boy called Lenny who 'found his voice' thanks to football-loving schoolfriends. 6,700 kids recently read it simultaneously at Portsmouth FC for a Guinness World Record. Some great resources are available for teachers too.
