How about a grainy photo of Thomas Hauser and Peter Barnes (March 1989) to start your Friday morning.

Today’s the anniversary of this Marco Gabbiadini goal at Carrow Road in 1990.

That strike couldn’t be any sweeter if it was sponsored by Mr Kipling.

⚽️ Remembering pro-footballer MEL HOLDEN, who was born 71 years ago today, and died when he was only 26 due to motor neuron disease.

#Dundee-born Mel played for #PNEFC youth team, making his senior debut in 1972. He later played for #SAFC and #BlackpoolFC.
