On Sunday 30 August - a Bank Holiday weekend - we will remember our beloved Stuart Tree with a day of events in his honour.

Following the Corinthian-Casuals' Youth Section's fun day that morning, we will officially open a memorial garden to the Tree family inside the stadium grounds at 12.30, followed by a friendly match between Fiel Londres and Casuals Legends on the main pitch, at 2pm.

Throughout the day, there will also be an exhibition of Stuart's work for all to enjoy, featuring some of his best photography, design and artwork.

After the match, we will join Fiel Londres in celebrating the 116th birthday of SC Corinthians Paulista, which falls two days later.

Please save the date and ensure that you can join us for what promises to be a very special tribute to a club legend and another chance to connect with our Brazilian brethren.

#VaiCorinthians
Up the Casuals! 🩷🤎

@carolinebarker a stand to yourself

[César Azpilicueta @CesarAzpi]

Dear football,

Today, I want to share with you that this season will be my last as a professional footballer. After so many years living my dream, I feel it’s time to start a new chapter in my life.

Being honest, even though I have been preparing myself for this moment, I found it hard to write this letter. After 20 seasons , many people have played an important role in my career.

When I first kicked a ball as a child in Pamplona with my schoolmates, I never imagined the amazing journey ahead. I’m grateful for every moment: the wins, the tough losses, the challenges, and most of all, the people I’ve met and the friendships I’ve made along the way.

To my teammates, coaches, and every staff member at all the clubs I’ve been lucky to be part of, thank you for helping me grow as a person and a player every day. Wearing the shirts of CA Osasuna, Olympique Marseille, Chelsea FC, Atlético de Madrid, Sevilla FC, and representing my country at the biggest stages has been a true privilege. Every moment has meant so much to me…

@SaltdeanWomenFC Can you post line up please

[Worcester Park FC 1st Team @worcesterparkfc]

Nearly, but not quite

We have to dig deep against a fresh @addlestonefc to draw for the 3rd time in a week, 2-2 again

Unsurprising, given the sessions we’ve had this week, a bit leggy

Final game next Thursday, at @suttonunited, 7.30 KO vs @BIFCXI FREE ENTRY FOR ALL.
