Newcastle had to sell him to comply with FFP while he is currently signing for a football club who have been charged with 115 breaches of premier leagues financial rules. An independent panel was convened to hear these charges which was concluded in 2024. For reasons unknown to everyone we still don’t have a verdict on this. There is something deeply wrong about that

38 years ago today:

Ronnie Whelan, Rinat Dasayev, and a volley for the ages.

What a moment in time.

So far England journos have leaked the line-up, the set piece takers, the focus on corners and where they’re standing. Croatia won’t have to watch any tape at this point, they’ll just wait for Sami Mokbel, Craig Hope and Henry Winter to tweet out the specifics and jobs done

The late great Gianluca Vialli scored the only goal as Italy defeated Spain 1-0 in Group One

This was Vialli's only major tournament goal for the Azzurri 🙏

What is your all-time favourite World Cup goal?

We’ll start…

Nelinho vs Italy, 1978

[Old School Panini @OldSchoolPanini]

Argentina against Switzerland (1980). Ramon DIAZ scored this goal with one of the greatest assist ever seen in the game from Diego MARADONA !!

[90s Football @90sfootball]

Chris Waddle vs AC Milan, 1991.

After impressing in their opening victory over Scotland, the Danes were back in action on 08/06/1986.

This time, it was Uruguay who stood in their way.

Denmark put on a masterclass as they brushed the South Americans aside 6–1. Elkjær scored a hat-trick, but the pick of the goals was scored by Michael Laudrup.

The kit was amazing, and their football wasn’t bad either.

Italy’s warm-up for Euro 88 included a seemingly routine defence of the unofficial world championship at home to Wales on 04/06/1988.

Italy had defeated the official world champions, Argentina and had remained unbeaten until Wales rode into town.

The Welsh, depleted of stars had players from various ladders of the English league pyramid on show but they did have Juventus striker Ian Rush in their side and don’t you just know it, he proved to be the difference.

His goal clinched an unlikely 1-0 win and a new champion was crowned.

Sadly, though, their reign as champions was more Buster Douglas than Mike Tyson in its longevity.

This Kenny Dalglish goal at Highbury in 1983 certainly is “magnificent”

[🔴⚽️ @davidholmes73]

Right in their own backyard. Billy big bollocks with the most Billy big bollocks of penalties on the way to winning the European Cup for the fourth time. 42 years on, and I'm still waiting to see a better struck penalty on the biggest of stages

[Dominic King @DKingTelegraph]

He remains criminally underrated and under appreciated to this day. An absolutely magnificent footballer: right foot, left foot, speed, stamina, skill, scored goals that took your breath away.

[Kopoholic @TheKopoholic]

Throwback to when Mo Salah scored the FASTEST UCL hat-trick with all three goals assisted by Diogo Jota, as substitutes. ❤️🕊️

6 minutes, 12 seconds. Iconic
