Love watching it. Just one kick of a football and he’ll be remembered and welcomed forever ! ( and no need to use the word “adopted”)
When he retired from football altogether, he hadn't planned it. He said he was playing for Man City, the ball went behind for a goal kick, he took the kick and as the ball left his boot he said he had a moment of clarity and he said to himself "That's it, I'm done". Great keeper, one of the best ever, just as I was getting into football. He was having issues with his shoulder at the time, too, but retirement wasn't planned.
In the USA atm, there is yet another huge scandal involving sport/gambling match fixing etc. Organised crime together with betting companies. Do we think the UK is immune, lots of clubs (ours included) are sponsored by betting companies. Refs give dodgy decisions, players miss open goals, etc. are they being influences by the huge amounts of money placed as bets?
