In 1995, Liverpool supporter and Lilleshall graduate John Marshall signed for Everton. He passed away on the day he was due to start life as a Toffee.

Through Cardiac Risk in the Young, The John Marshall Fund has raised more than £100,000. This is his story.

MPs on the Culture, Media and Sport Committee have requested that West Midlands Police explain why it believes it cannot safely police next month's Aston Villa vs Maccabi Tel Aviv match without banning away fans.

That's that. What a win for the #NJDevils. Sure, the Panthers may be without Barkov and Tkachuk, but they're still the defending champs.

NJD thoroughly outplayed them for most of that game. 3-1 final

Dan Roan and BBC Sport have run an article about mental health featuring Anthony Taylor.

The replies on social media are predictable and this isn't said enough:

If you think Taylor or any other referee's performance has any bearing on their right to exist well or at all, you need help.
