Falsely accused

The heartbreaking story of Brian Banks who was a rising football star and destined to become a NFL player but was sent to prison for 6 years for Rape

Brian lost everything and his mum had to sell her home and car for lawyer fees while his accuser got to enjoy

It's near a junction where there were 6 shops. This was Hearns' grocers. I used to go in there with Mum shopping, and I spent my pocket money in there on Panini football stickers. I still have the whole 1978 Coventry City squad. It closed in the early 90s and is now a house. 2/22

Missus is off out to a 90s R&B and Hip Hop gig (just dropped her off).

Aidens out with his mates.
Jacobs at his mums until I get him from his football 6-7.30pm and until then, I'm sat in silence on my sofa, with no TV on, no noise, just pure serene silence.

Bliss.

Harry and his Mum wrote this fantastic football poem this afternoon!

4 Truths and 2 Lies:

1. I was born in Jos.
2. I am not a first-generation PhD student.
3. I don't like swallow.
4. I played football for the female football team of my department as an undergraduate.
5. I am closer to my dad than my mum.
6. I don't like spicy or peppery food.

The UK is mad.
You’ve got those football idiots carrying 🇮🇱 flags.
You’ve got the Audi Q5 mums carrying 🇵🇸 flags.
Yet, here we are paying £2 for a bottle of tonic water, £6 for really basic steak and getting taxed to death.
Don’t see anybody protesting about that every Saturday.

Still hard to believe 6 years ago today me and my mum flew out with Everton to Tanzania. Back then Rooney, a director of football and a bottomless pit of money at our disposal. Sad state of affairs now having to be content with a 38 year old 😩🔵 #everton

Smartest thing but I ended up looking dumb. 💔

There is always that one jobless neighbor that would report to your mom when she comes back from market/shop what you did all day.

I was 10yo, I always sneak out to play street football, then return home b4 my mum comes back.
