This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.

Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Stoke were away today so paid a visit to Kidderminster Harriers (est. 1886 and top of National League North at the start of play) play Rushall Olympic (bottom of NLN) - naturally Rushall won 1:0 but a fun afternoon out. Nice West Ham reference in the bar too…
