As it's Hallowe'en/Samhain, what spooky football stories have you got? 🎃
I hear Ibrox is haunted by a spectral black dog, and both Birmingham City and Sligo Rovers have been on the receiving end of curses
Any other tales of where football meets the supernatural?

So many great stories in this entertaining book, I think the funniest is his dog’s unaccompanied train journey, but what do you like best about Pat Nevin?

Stoke mentions include the grim Burnden Park disaster. ‘The very notion these men had survived the horrors of the most devastating conflict in human history only to die at home, watching a game of football, was beyond the pale for many, including Nat.’
