🇺🇾 Happy 65th birthday to Enzo Francescoli - one of the greatest No.10s in football - and Zinedine Zidane's footballing idol.

🇧🇷 Brazil had Zico.
🇦🇷 Argentina had Maradona.
🇺🇾 Uruguay had Enzo Francescoli.

Zidane's appreciation for Francescoli was so deep that he named his first son Enzo.

🗣️ Zidane: "He was playing in Marseille, and I was 13. Before I went to Cannes where I started playing, he was playing in Marseille. And when I saw him, I said: 'I want to be him.' Because he was very elegant, you know? The way he played, the way he moved with the ball as well. I mean, you don't see that often."

🚨 Michael Carrick deserved more 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗧 than this.

Manchester United are now accelerating talks with Mauricio Pochettino while Carrick is at Carrington taking training once again, with the Glazers joining today’s board meeting where his sacking is expected to be rubber-stamped.

A club legend is left preparing the players while the board prepares his exit. If United had decided his time was up, they should have acted sooner and handled it with some dignity.

Why do all the journalists and the fans know so much about this situation? Why couldn't they keep it under wraps?

Instead, another managerial departure has become a public mess. INEOS can’t even get a sacking right.

📆 On this day, in 1969, Celtic beat Benfica 3-0 at Celtic Park in the European Cup.

And then something 𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗤𝗨𝗘 happened.

Benfica won the return fixture 3-0 in Lisbon and with the tie level it was decided on the toss of a coin.

The referee took both captains Billy McNeill, and Mario Coluna, along with Jock Stein and the Benfica coach into his room, deep in the bowels of the stadium.

There were to be two tosses. The first toss was to decide who would make the call on the crucial second toss, which would decide the tie.

Celtic won the toss and went through.

Months later, UEFA changed the rule to introduce the penalty shootout to decide matches with complaints that a coin toss was an unsatisfactory method to resolve the outcome of a fixture.

❤️🤍 The beautiful story of Jermain Defoe and Bradley Lowery:

🗣️ Defoe: "I remember during my second season at Sunderland, Louise Wanless, the press officer, told me one day: 'There’s a boy who wants to meet you.'

She explained that Bradley Lowery had neuroblastoma and that I was his favourite player. I was like, 'Alright, of course. No worries.'

But I had no idea what he would be like. From her description, I assumed he’d be super shy and quiet. But as soon as he walked into the dressing room, he ran straight to me, jumped on my lap, and hugged me with a big smile on his face.

After that first meeting, I asked Louise to put me in touch with the family so I could visit him at the hospital. At first, I went with other players, but then I started going alone. I wanted to spend as much time with him as possible. We had this natural connection, this bond.

I still don’t know how to explain it. I got so used to having him at Sunderland that I really struggled after he was gone. He taught me to appreciate life and the people around me so much more. He changed me, my whole perspective." ❤️
