After fighting hard for 15 days after the crash that killed 7 of his teammates, the mighty Duncan Edwards finally conceded to his injuries on the 21st Feb 1958 #mufc 🙏😢
This was a story @RamiAlmeghari filed for @ChannelNewsAsia in June 2017 during #Ramadan#Eid
Living conditions and prospects for #Palestinians in #Gaza were already desperate for a long time before then, I cannot imagine what the same streets look like today.

This is Claus-Henning Schulke.
The 57-year old German is a civil engineer but — once a year — he morphs into an athletic legend.
How? Schulke bikes around the Berlin Marathon course and is the dude who keeps Kenyan super-marathoner Eliud Kipchoge hydrated.
Last year, he played a part in Kipchoge’s record-breaking marathon time of 2:01:09.
Per the LA Times, Schulke is an accomplished triathlete, having finished 6x Ironman events.
How did he get in with Kipchoge?
While other major marathon events let top runners grab water off of tables, Berlin pairs the best marathoners with a volunteer (who hand them bottles).
They first teamed up in 2017 and Kipchoge — the greatest marathoner ever — requested for Schulke in the following years.
After setting the marathon record of 2:01:39 in 2018, he signed his running bib and gave it to Schulke.
It read: “Dear Claus: Without you, I would not have managed to run this world record.”
Kipchoge has also called Schulke a “hero” for his efforts. The rest of the world calls him one of the most glorious nicknames ever: “Bottle Claus”.
A new season is upon us, but the story remains the same. Old video which I made back in 2019 and yet nothing has changed since then.
The gross debt went from almost nothing pre-Glazers, £540m in 2005 after the takeover, rose to over £700m in 2010, to £535.7m in early 2023.
November last year, the Glazers announced they would be open to outside investment including outright sale. 8 months on we haven't made any progress on that front.
No matter what we do in the transfer window the message is and forever will be #GlazersOut
Heartfelt hugs and condolences to @WillHodgman and family, who sent off their beautiful Maisie to don angel wings... we are heartbroken, your adopted family in #Singapore
