Embracing the fear for cliff diving was interesting - what I hadn't thought of was how the hell they put a 27m dive together.
Heard from Aidan Heslop for this piece on the rush of competitive cliff diving

Lost in lockdown, sadly, but the best work I've ever done.

We’re arranging a special one off episode on the legend Graham Thorpe. Should hopefully be out next week. With @garynaylor85, Rob Smyth, @swildecricket, @unforgivenrb and @DannyGar

Anybody who doesn't know the dynamics, history and supposed pretexts of murderous pogroms, in the UK and elsewhere, should be informing themselves, sharpish. Call this what it is.
Lovely piece this and a fine tribute
Farewell to my friend @clarkyfanzine. A special tribute edition of the Corridor of Uncertainty will be on sale at Trent Bridge throughout this Test. All proceeds to @ParkinsonsUK espncricinfo.com/story/andy-…

Remarkable to see the France national team footballers at the Euros speaking out so strongly against the far right.

Sometimes it seems that “Here we go again” would be a more appropriate motto for Leeds United than “Marching on Together”

For @glorymag_, @admiral1914 and us, 50 Years of the Replica Shirt has been a huge labour of love but one we are very proud to have put into the world.
The new exhibition at the @FootballMuseum that we've worked on to coincide with the book launch is the icing on the cake.
On #LUFC and Joy Division … shouldn't have watched The Exorcist before writing this
How Leeds’ topsy-turvy season has put them on the verge of a Premier League return

These are the teams from the Italia 90 draft. You can vote in the poll below before Friday lunchtime, listen to the pod (nessundorma.substack.com/p/i…), tell a fellow nostalgiaddict about it so that we can do more of them, and suggest a draft season/tournament/era you'd like to hear.

The sale of my beloved Southend United is of the utmost urgency. Our chairman Ron Martin needs to engage with the buyers and compromise or we will be finished. I'm lead to believe there is a deal on the table. How it has come to this is down to him. @kimuraperform

It's only fair we leave the final word to the man himself... Roddy Forsyth 🙌
We'll miss your voice, your knowledge and your wisdom - you'll always be a @5liveSport football legend.
Thanks for the memories Roddy...

Matthew Engel writing a shopping list would be worth a read but this tribute to a much-loved colleague is special. If you've read a Guardian sports report in the past 57 (!) years, the chances are that Jeremy Alexander helped make it fit for publication theguardian.com/sport/2023/j…
