On 27th October, 1906, a young Leeds City footballer died during a match against Burnley. That much was known. But over the years what else was known about him has become mixed up and forgotten. Here is the story of the death of David 'Soldier' Wilson, and the story of his life.
The Rangers players were each on a £20,000 bonus, but Howard Wilkinson wasn't thinking that far ahead. He said he didn't even know how many teams would be in the Champions League. "I was too scared to think about it."
That stats for Joel Piroe and Nahki Wells backed up what the eyes saw, the red team being dominated out of attacking, the yellow team playing itself out.
The team playing at Rangers were the champions, and after 69 seconds Gary McAllister made winning the European Cup feel like a real possibility.

Chris Wilder got into the wrong mind, about the wrong things, peering sideways into Farke's head when he should have been staring into the eyes of Joe Rothwell.
Brenden Aaronson, Thomas Tuchel, Bielsa against Suarez, Leeds against Sheffield United, surveys, bathroom facilities and cheap fans melting in the sun.
