Best way I can describe the Caicedo Rice conversation is that both give you the feeling you have two players in one but with Rice, both those players are at Ballon d’or standard.

Desperately sad news regarding the passing of the former Premier League referee, Uriah Rennie. Such a trailblazer and loved by many, many condolences to his family and those who knew him.

Such sad news about South London Press shutting down after more than 100 years. It was the first place that gave me a chance to report when I made the transition from teaching and my year 6 class even made appearance in it. Gutting.
