Arsenal, one of England’s big football clubs, just donated a pile of their players’ old socks to a horse and donkey sanctuary, and the rescued animals are now wearing them.
It works because modern football socks are footless. Players wear separate grip socks on their feet, so the long sleeves get thrown out. That shape turns out to be perfect for sliding onto an animal’s leg, where they keep flies off sore skin, hold bandages in place, and cover the leg while hooves are trimmed.
The sanctuary, the biggest of its kind in Britain, says the bright red socks have already cut down on vet visits. The donkeys have also decided they make good toys, and have taken to pulling bananas out of them.
Karaktäristiskt kal hjässa, något slankare än förr, mörkblå kostym, VM-bucklan på podiet framför honom.
Så här ser han ut.
Fotbollens värsta fiende.

Rose-Marie 82, satt indränkt i urin i sin soffa i minst 10 dygn. Tröja och strumpor satt fast i huden. Benen var som hopklistrade. Svampangrepp på kroppen, sår och trycksår. Ena benet fick amputeras. Läkaren sa att hon hade 50% överlevnadschans. Attendo anser att de inte gjort något fel.
Vi behöver ett #äldreuppror !!

YouTubers be like “wake up at 4am and run, that’s alpha!” No, it’s not. Look at apex predators; they’re all lazy. Bears hibernate, lions sleep all day. You know who wakes up at 4am and runs? Squirrels.
