We’re saddened at the news of the passing of John Clinkard, Everton’s physio during the 1980s glory years. Nicknamed Magnum, John spent seven years with the Blues & was key to getting our footballing heroes fit & on the pitch.
We send our condolences to his nearest and dearest.

From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: Poverty chanting has become so commonplace in English football that at least one club is now working on how to deal with it. "It’s high time ‘Feed the Scousers’ was put to bed for good," our columnist writes.

2022 was the most detrimental summer for glacier loss ever! 🔥😱
It foreshadows what our summers will be like from now on, as 2025 looks almost similar... 😭
