Love Asterix! Did you ever read The Cartoon History of the Universe by Larry Gonick? That was hugely influential for me
Happy birthday to the poacher, Garry Schofield! One of my favourite players growing up and just great to watch. He had a knack of making everybody else in the team look good thanks to his seemingly effortless passing. And he loved an interception!

Whilst Footloose leg warmers are undoubtedly a sock crime, I disagree that 'socks down' necessarily constitutes a sock crime. Certain players are naturally 'socks down' players - it's an expression of their maverick creativity. Think Garry Schofield or Henderson Gill.
