Excellent to see a manager publicly and consistently standing up for his player, and against racism.

I don't blame Vinicius Jr for his reaction, he's been the target of some appalling bigotry again and again this season.

As a lifelong football romantic, I love this. Wonderful to see Wrexham back after 15 years!

A 'one season wonder', huh? We always knew he'd do it!

Congrats Harry - any more records you fancy breaking before the end of the season!?

The King of Kings has died. Extraordinary player. Unique. 3 times World Cup winner, more than a thousand goals. My idol when young. He made football the beautiful game and truly international. My time playing alongside him in Escape to Victory was a dream come true. RIP Pele

Sir Bobby Charlton: "I sometimes feel as though football was invented for this magical player."

RIP, O Rei 🇧🇷👑
