I was at Wembley for the quarter-final in 1966. We beat Argentina 1:0 and went on to win the World Cup. My ticket cost 7s 6d (=£0.37).

What a nice bloke @jimmybullard is. Met him in MacDonalds after the taping of Call Yourself a Fan @CYAFOfficial, on which he is the star turn, and he gave me an autograph and was super friendly. If only there were more like him!

Have a listen to this debut single by Samantha Rays from Toronto. It's a great song.

Great book launch earlier today, With the Beatles by Patrick Humphries. Much new material, some of of it from his interviews with them. Robert Ross was an excellent host. And I got a signed copy. @beatlesincanada @RobertWRossEsq @p

Wikipedia lists 24 Beatles tribute bands. Surely Rain must be one of the best. Great concert last night in Toronto. @GreatCanadianTO @beatlesincanada @RainTribute @rain

Jens Stoltenberg throws the first pitch at the Washington Nationals before the NATO summit. US humour or a coincidence?
Bromley at Wembley, one game from League Two. This is what football is about. Forget Haaland and Saka, think Jude Arthurs and Myles Weston bringing joy to so many young fans. Amazing. @bromleyfc @harris1881 @TheVanaramaNL

So that's why @BarackObama was in No. 10 Downing St on Monday. The UK no longer back of the queue? England to reach the Euros Final? 'Fraid not. He's tipping the University of Kentucky to reach the Final Four of NCAA's March Madness.

Rather than completely turn the game into micro-refereeing from afar, IFAB needs to shelve ridiculous talk of VAR for free-kicks, corners and 2nd yellows and focus on sorting out a myriad current problems. Namely: excessive delays over decisions (2 mins max please), pedantic and too-frequent interventions, "clear and obvious" ethos being forgotten, and laws changed to accommodate technology's scrutiny (handball's a mess).
IFAB and its cheerleaders need to spend more time at games and appreciate that VAR may add to TV experience but it's loathed in grounds. The game does not belong to @TheIFAB @FA_PGMOL. It belongs to those inside grounds. VAR is here to stay, so let's get it better.
Good to be back in "Beatles-Platz" in Hamburg. You can't translate it as Beatles Square because it's round - shaped like a vinyl LP. 1/4

Good to see the photos are still up, nearly 60 years later. The only venue the Beatles played at on all three of their North American tours 1964-65-66 was Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto.
