Colin Milburn on his way to 94 on his Test debut, England v West Indies, 1st Test, Old Trafford, June 4th 1966. Despite scoring 316 runs at 52.66 in the first four Tests the 17 stone Milburn was dropped because of his perceived lack of mobility in the field. "If people want to play for England they've got to think of these things," explained selector Alec Bedser. Milburn responded with 203 in four hours v Essex at Clacton (C)

This is my grandad, he built the original R2-D2 for the first Star Wars film…

Jack was a master sheet metal worker, and was roped into using his skills on an obscure project to turn the sketches for the droid into something that could be constructed out of aluminium sheets.

I always knew he'd helped make part of R2-D2. However I only found this photo in recent years and have since learned that he was actually instrumental to the construction of the entire droid, particularly with working out how to machine the complex shapes like the dome and legs out of single sheets of aluminium.

He didn't just build one either, he ended up constructing a handful of the droids for various uses in the film. I still have no idea how he did it, especially without modern software and computer-controlled machining.

Unfortunately I never got to know him as he died when I was a baby, though I have a feeling we share a lot in common.

I also have his old Dragon 32 computer that he was using to learn programming in the 1980s, with reams of hand-written code that still works on the computer.

This season was a disappointment, no doubt.

But I DO want to commend the players and staff for their efforts today.

Most of all, I really want to express my appreciation to the nearly 1,000 Town fans for making the long trip down this afternoon. Amazing.

Getting to work immediately.

As always, your support is appreciated and never taken for granted.

Very poignant Football Focus interview with Brian Clough, from this week in 1997.

Here the great man looks back at some of the regrets from his long managerial career.

However, since retiring, Clough has nothing but a positive outlook on life…

In 2004 I sat in the office of Blackburn manager Graeme Souness while he ranted in the wake of a defeat to Leeds. He listed the players he wouldn’t even consider for the next game at Fulham 48 hours later. After a pause, Tony Parkes asked him what time he wanted the minibus?

[Dan Walker @mrdanwalker]

Really sad to hear about the end of Football Focus.

I loved that show growing up. I used to watch it every week with my dad and I remember how proud he was when I got the job. It was such a privilege to sit in the chair for 12 years, work with an amazing team on and off air and form so many lasting friendships.

Saturdays were always special.

The football landscape is constantly changing and it’s disappointing that there isn’t space for a show that has meant so much to so many people for so many years.

Sky Sports commentator saying Mo Salah now level with Steven Gerrard as club record scorer in derbies with 9.

Ian Rush got 25.

Football existed before 1992.
