It is genuinely incredible that two brothers from a tiny rainy town in Scotland were able to both make it to world number 1 at the same time at professional tennis. The stuff of fairytales and magic. ✨

The Murray brothers are both retired now but what an unreal journey it was.

Look at the number of Italian European trophy winners in the late 80s, 90s and early 2000s to see this is complete nonsense. No other league has dominated as much including the current EPL.

[Aidan James @mcandidate]

what if Italian football was never good and we were just duped by "Jimbo" and his silly pink paper? sold us the façade of piazzas and little coffees when really Gabriel Batistuta was no better than Paulo Wanchope.

@CCarsonSport Back in the office? That's so 1990s 😂 congratulations mate

@henrywinter Born in 1987 I never saw him play but IMO he's in that last generation of talented Scottish wingers along with Davie Cooper. I Believe In Miracles is a great film.

[Ross Thomson @WPressRoss]

Sad news. I Believe In Miracles might be the best sports movie I've watched. That whole Clough era is just incredible.

Happy 70th birthday to the magnificent John Robertson, one of the greatest to ever wear the Garibaldi shirt. 😍

@footyheritage @RoyalAlbertFC Based at the Tileworks where the Albert now play.

[Ross Thomson @WPressRoss]

@footyheritage @RoyalAlbertFC Could add Stonehouse Violet to the list. Former Scottish Junior Cup finalists and had a host of ex senior pro's playing with them.

@CallumCarsonKS All the best for the future Callum. It's a disgrace what's been happening.

Whoever moves fast and hires Russell Martin as their next manager will be making a very good decision.

@dailysimpsons Frank Grimes or Grimey as he liked to be called 😂

28 years ago today, Frank Grimes hated Homer Simpson so much that it killed him.
