My roving reporter Chris made a comment about a footballer he saw on television recently who called upon the "trainer" to come on to administer treatment for an injury and noticed that the player spent more time adjusting his hair while the magic sponge was being put to use. I thought some photos of nice haircuts would entertain you......

Goodness knows what "Wor" Jackie Milburn would have thought about it all. That forehead was for heading not quiffs!
ON this day in 1931 England played the French for the 7th time, this time in Paris and having won the previous 6 by decent margins, they expected a bit of an easy run out. Not so, for the French turned out winners 5-2 and so excited were they that they asked the English players if they might have their shirts as a momento. The English FA graciously agreed and the tradition of shirt swopping began!
Prior to that defeat the English had won 1-4, 1-3, 2-3, 0-6, 1-5, 1-4 between the first ever international in 1923 (on tour) up to 1929. There was no game in 1930 and after the embarrassing defeat in 1931, they had another year off with matters resuming as normal in 1933 with a 4-1 win to England at White Hart Lane.
In 2017 on this day was the last league match for Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane which ended with a 2-1 win against Manchester United. Since 1899, it was Spurs' 14th consecutive league win and the 1993rd and final League match at the ground.
