ENGLAND SAY THANKS WITH THE YANKS TO WAYNE

The time has come for Wayne to say goodbye, so let's just have a few words about England playing the the Americans, 10 times so far.
The record is England won 7 and Drawn 1. USA have won twice, including the embarrassing World Cup defeat in 1950 0-1(Yanks beat the Planks??) and the not quite so embarrassing defeat 0-2 in 1993, in the US Cup (a tournament run in the States for a few visiting countries).
The other games have been played between the two in:
1953 England won 6-3 away, 1959 8-1 a win in America, 1964 an England win 10-0 away, 1965 5-0 to England away, 1994 a 2-0 win at home, 2005 a 2-1 win away, 2008 a home win 2-0 and 2010 a draw 1-1 in the World Cup, the Yanks being managed by Bob Bradley.
Here's one I did earlier:-

We wish Wayne the best of luck and hope he enjoys the rest of his active life.
Best of luck too to the crowd who may or may not have been warned that spectators can only carry in bags no larger than a piece of A4 paper! I wonder how many are prepared for that! Was it announced when tickets were bought?

Today I became aware of David Squires, a cartoonist with the Guardian. who has produced many illustrated books. He began with a work in the Swindon Town's fanzine "The69er". He has also designed club mascots

This was published in 2016 and he started working for the Guardian in 2017, he is now based in Sydney and produces a weekly strip for the paper.
