This story is also going out on BBC Breakfast this morning, featuring a genuinely heartfelt guard of honour given to a fan and a reunion with the loveliest man I've ever dealt with - Swap Shop's John Craven.
Loved making it. Football is the best thing about this country.
54 years, 48 leagues, over 2,000 grounds.
Yesterday I was with @TonyIncenzo as he completed football's ultimate odyssey.
This is a story about why grassroots football matters so profoundly to people and communities across the country 👇

Would strongly recommend the Laver Cup to anybody in London who is free tonight or tomorrow.
Re-sale tickets have been going very cheap and then because it's not sold out you can plonk yourself somewhere that should cost hundreds.
Quality of play this afternoon was great.
Just watched Carlos Alcaraz play tennis in person for the first time.
Pleased to confirm he's pretty good.

This summer a rugby player died after suffering heatstroke. Tennis players and marathon runners collapsed. Cyclists toiled.

I wrote a long read for the Guardian about the evolution of the British trap house, focusing on the story of a friend of mine who was 'cuckooed' twice in London. The first time was grim, but the second cuckooing sparked a fascinating friendship.

Don't really see how anybody can earnestly care about this stuff anymore given that the whole thing is so ceaselessly, excruciatingly boring every single week.
#MUNMCI – 59’ VAR OVERTURN
VAR checked the referee’s call of no goal for offside – and determined that Haaland was in an onside position and recommended that the goal was awarded.
The VAR also deemed that while in an offside position, Fernandez didn’t play the ball.
Community note
Per IFAB Law 11, a player in an offside position can be penalised for clearly attempting to play the ball (or other obvious actions) if it impacts an opponent, even without touching it.

Became incredibly wound up by the US Open putting Mr. Beast on the court for the Venus and Serena coin toss. Genuine grunting anger.
A proper bit of history and you've got his vacant, haunting glare ruining the thing.
Not sure you can "game's gone" tennis but if so that was it.

For years tennis players have been complaining about late-night Grand Slam matches finishing after midnight.
Late starts have a big impact on performance and conditioning, but huge financial value.
