30 years ago today a Swansea fan scored at Anfield in the midst of an 8-0 thrashing in the FA Cup.
So much to love here: the shoes, the jeans, the wistful, melodic slow-mo. And then the steward’s slide tackle that cleans him out.
A work of art.

- 31 years ago today a Swansea fan scored at Anfield in the midst of an 8-0 tonking in the FA Cup. So much to love here: the shoes, the jeans, the wistful, melodic slow-mo. And then the steward’s slide tackle that finally cleans him out. Poetry.
- 18 years ago today: Ashley Cole was having absolutely none of Cristiano’s flicks and tricks…
- 20 years ago today: England played Portugal and Ashley Cole had zero fucking interest in Cristiano’s flicks and tricks...
- It’s Lee Trundle’s birthday today. You remember him. Unconventional.
- It’s 25 years to the day since Eric Cantona’s kung-fu kick at Selhurst Park. This Lego recreation of that moment is fucking sensational.
- 18 years since this classic at the Euros as the Czech Republic came from two down to beat the Netherlands. Feast your eyes on 98 seconds of furious 00s football in all its glory…
- FLASHBACK: To July, 2009 as England play Germany in a tribute match for Sir Bobby Robson. The Gaffer made a brave appearance just 5 days before he passed away. His final words about Gazza will bring a tear to your eye...
- It’s 24 years to the day since Vinnie Jones played in goal at St James’ Park. The original sweeper keeper.
- 11 years ago today: Toronto win a free-kick within shooting distance, but there’s a dispute over who’s taking it. “Jog on, Jermain. I’m smashing this…”
- Farewell Sven. For one night in Munich, you made us dream…
- #OnThisDay in 1990 a Swansea fan scored at Anfield in the midst of an 8-0 thumping in the FA Cup. Come for the melodic slow-mo, stay for the steward’s slide tackle that cleans him out.
- It’s Rui Patricio’s birthday today. You remember him. Nice lad. Doesn’t want anyone to feel the cold…
- It’s 23 years since Liverpool drew in Brann, and Robbie Fowler produced one of the most x-rated first touches in the history of European football. Filth. Wash your hands immediately after watching.
