An accidental slip became the brightest moment of the show.

What made it special wasn’t the mistake, it was the response.

Teammates immediately stepped in to support one another, turning an awkward moment into a powerful reminder of what teamwork looks like.

The best teams aren’t the ones that never fall. They’re the ones that always lift each other up.

@footyheritage Even better was my parents had just bought their first colour TV and it was football in technicolour 😂

@BBCSport Crazy that it needs ‘law changes’ to affect this.

Maybe tell the players & managers/coaches something like ‘stop playing silly buggers chaps, the fans watching are getting a bit naffed off by it. And whilst you’re at it stop cutting holes in your socks as well.’

When the Netherlands team visited a hospital with sick children, Noah Ohio saw one kid who’s favourite player was Jude Bellingham. 🇳🇱🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

So he rang Bellingham and this happened. ❤️🧡

Maybe one of the reasons many supporters are turning to non league?

[Pat Murphy @patmurphybbc]

One of the reasons why I folded up my @5liveSport tent last November. Not enough games. For me Saturday afternoon was THE time to be a football reporter - especially with Sports Report a 1 hour programme. Unlike now…

When Sir Bobby Robson went back to St James’ Park in July 2009, it was for a game that had been arranged in his honour.

By then, he was gravely ill.

But it was still Bobby Robson.

And if there was one thing he hated, it was being late or letting people down.

So even with everything he was going through, he still made sure he was there.

The match was a charity game for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, and it brought back the players from the 1990 World Cup semi-final.

England against Germany again.

Peter Shilton was there.

Peter Beardsley was there.

David Platt was there.

Des Walker was there.

And of course, Paul Gascoigne was there.

Alan Shearer started as well, which was not quite accurate for Italia 90, but it made sense in every other way.

Shearer had always credited Bobby with saving his career at Newcastle.

Bobby was taken round the pitch in a wheelchair.

He took his hat off to the crowd.

Then he shook the hands of the players.

All around St James’ Park, the supporters started singing for him.

“Walking in a Robson Wonderland.”

Then the theme from Italia 90 played.

And when Nessun Dorma began, it brought everything back.

Gazza’s tears.

Chris Waddle’s penalty.

That whole summer when England had nearly got there.

Only this time, nineteen years later, England won.

Bobby went home that night exhausted, but ecstatic.

Nobody knew for certain at the time that it was goodbye.

But it was.

A few days later, the statement came.

“It is with great sadness that it has been announced today that Sir Bobby Robson has lost his long and courageous battle with cancer.”

“He died very peacefully at his home in County Durham with his wife and family beside him.”

After that, people started arriving at St James’ Park.

At first it was hundreds.

Then it was thousands.

They brought flowers, scarves, shirts, photographs and cards.

Newcastle opened a corner of the ground for tributes, but the queues just kept growing.

They stretched down Strawberry Place and past Shearer’s Bar.

There were Newcastle shirts.

Ipswich shirts.

England shirts.

Even Sunderland and Middlesbrough shirts.

For once, none of that mattered.

It was not really about rivalry anymore.

It was about Sir Bobby Robson.

Dave Challinor…

Was in the Northern Premier League Division One - Division eight in old money as a manager.

Now he’s linked with clubs in the Championship.

What a bloke, what a football manager, and done it the long, hard way. Right from the bottom of non-league 👏👏👏

🏆 𝙊𝙣 𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝘿𝙖𝙮 … right about now (6pm) 4 years ago, 𝙁𝙪𝙧𝙤 𝘿𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙨 lifted the #nwcfl First Division Challenge Cup.

⚽️ After clinching promotion a few weeks earlier, #fcisleofman beat @cammelllairdfc 1-0 at a sell out Bowl - att 3,018.

⚽️ 🐫 🐫 almost opened the scoring when hitting the bar on 70’, but #Ravens fans nerves were settled 10 mins later.

⚽️ 𝘾𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙨 𝘽𝘼𝙎𝙎 𝙅𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙤𝙧 chipped a corner into the box, and 𝙅𝙖𝙘𝙤𝙗 𝘾𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙠 rose to head home the winner with his first for the club.

⚽️ Pandemonium at the final whistle, to conclude a remarkable double in the clubs first season ‘across’ 👏👏👏
