Back in the day, if you didn’t down a pint of milk after the FA cup final then what were you even doing
Incredible TFI Friday clip from this week in 1998 - a month before the World Cup. To keep him out of trouble, Chris Evans jokingly sends Paul Gascoigne into a safe-keeping box until the tournament starts. Just imagine Glenn Hoddle seeing this…

Mickey Mouse finding out his name is being used as a slur against small cup competitions
Some exciting personal news: I’m writing my first book! ‘Get Ready For This’ tells the story of the wild & wonderful Rumbelows Cup era, and it’s been signed with @PitchPublishing. Tellys. Sprints. Trump. And much more. Two seasons. One sponsor. Unlimited mayhem. Coming 2026…

As today marks 36 years since England’s Euro ‘88 song “All The Way” reached the dizzy heights of number 64 in the UK Charts, a reminder of the squad’s performance of the track on Wogan. We must never, ever, forget this. Truly sensational stuff.
Disappointing cracked-badging from the Manchester Evening News - never go full detachment and never go with an equidistant crack. 2/10
An important announcement ahead of the Europa League Final
On this day in 1995, after waiting patiently for years behind John Motson, Barry Davies finally commentated on his first FA Cup Final. What we didn’t know was that Barry had his son, Mark, sat next to him for the full game. Here’s their wonderful story…
