🚨Exciting news!🚨My first book, The Immortals of English Football, is now on sale at all good bookshops! It tells the stories of the greatest players in the history of the England men’s football team, and how they changed the way their sport was played or viewed.

@MENnewsdesk No… the place there before it was dead handy for a late beer so was a shame it shut.

@mrcarterhistory Ah, I'm really glad you've told me that... thank-you... I will correct now!

@KiranSultana6 Looks to me like only 4,000 Spurs fans but happy to be proved otherwise. What else didn’t you like about the article?

@Cookslikejamie Thanks for the original spot! Someone them changed Chelsea without telling me! ☹️ (I’ve just corrected it!)

[Chris Bevan @chrisbevan_bbc]

@D2daMFE Thanks Daniel, very kind of you to say so.

[Chris Bevan @chrisbevan_bbc]

This took a while to put together... about 25 years tbh! Was worth it though.

@martincroom Good spot! Thanks Martin, have tweaked that

@tigermilk_7 Hi there, the article is about Spain but the question about whether beating a poor team by several goals makes you contenders applies to England too, because that's exactly the kind of reaction that followed their win (two days earlier), hence the intro. There is no difference.

[Chris Bevan @chrisbevan_bbc]

@GedRobinson I think you might be right there! 🤦🏻‍♂️ (I’ve just changed it, thank-you!)

@SpaceToffee Very good point! I’ve just tweaked that…

[Chris Bevan @chrisbevan_bbc]

@heath_sp Agree, that's why I made the comparison with Chelsea in 2007 in the article. No-one made a big deal of that at the time, despite them being at exactly the same stage as Liverpool are now. The possible City double is (admittedly fleetingly) mentioned in there too btw.

@MCMXCtours @BBCSport Thanks... I've just changed that!
