Alfredo Di Stéfano, Carry on Columbus and Mertesacker Emptiness
|
Version 0 of 1. 1) Alfredo Di Stéfano: a true legend. RIP. 2) A tremendous clip: behind the scenes with the England squad on a set visit to Carry on Columbus in 1992. As reader Mattiogogo notes, "you won't see another video today featuring Maureen Lipman chatting with Carlton Palmer on a galleon". 3) Someone has finally recorded Mertesacker Emptiness: brilliant. Meanwhile, a Brazil fan takes that 7-1 defeat quite badly. 4) Vincenzo Nibali: denied. 5) Any time a pre-season friendly involves beery fans tossing fireworks on to the pitch, the captain of the visiting Dinamo Bucharest side refusing to walk when sent off, and the Dinamo manager sending on a sneaky sub when he finally does walk, you know you've got gold. 6) Golf balls being hit in super slow motion. Our favourites from last week's blog 1) Boxing – and plenty more – at the Sydney Opera House in 1982. 2) This week in calamitous football defending … 3) The haka v Mud remix. 4) Mike Whiddett goes drifting in his Mazda RX7 at Goodwood Festival of Speed. 5) Kim Jong-un goes to the football. And other North Korean highlights. 6) Adventures in 1968 shirt numbering. Alex Stepney wears No12 in goal for England v Sweden before he later returns, sans number on shirt.
