Sad to say i have only just learned about the phenomenon that was Beverly Ranger. What a truly incredible and inspirational story.
Amazing stuff.
Shades of Diego there, I'd say. Enjoyed reading the below account of her career. Seems she was so multi talented, Billie Jean King tried to coax her down the tennis path and she subsequently achieved a very high standard in US seniors tennis after her football career ended. Gem of a story really.
I thought I knew a pretty fair amount about women's football - but this is new to me. You can always learn more - thanks for sharing! Great athlete and great story.
I'm still trying to not be a Man City fan but De Bruyne and Haaland are making it tough to dislike the bunch.
I thought you were a shhhhhhhh Chelsea fan.
Hello,
I'll own up to that - but it's hard to support what's going on now - just get Frank to run the season out - then the sale starts, then the buying starts, then hope springs, then?
We can blame injury (Konte, Mendy et al.) but really it comes down to poor leadership above the coaching level.
I'll go see them play Wrexham in Chapel Hill this Summer. Who knows what they will look like?

Todd Boehly has spent 600m already. I hope he has deeper pockets. Chelsea are a complete mess and a shambles at the moment. If/when Pochetino comes in he will inherit that and it will not be a quick fix. Tottenham are in a similar position with another moron running the club.
I know this all too well being a Manchester United fan (since 6 years old) how the Glazer's have wrecked my club. But at least Erik ten Hag is working well.
Forces have been looting
My humanity
Curfews have been curbing
The end of liberty
We're the flowers in the dustbin...
No fuchsias for you.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
What happened? Because I would like to be dead from happiness too.
West Ham just won the Europa Conference League final
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
