Lukaku deserves success but must thank his Inter team-mates - Conte

In May 2016, Adebayo Akinfenwa stood in front of the TV cameras and pleaded with any managers to message him on WhatsApp and offer him a job. He'd just helped Wimbledon win the League Two playoffs and was set to be released soon after. He was picked up by Wycombe Wanderers that summer, and four years later, he played a starring role (just the 20 starts, but ten goals and six assists!) in helping Gareth Ainsworth's side reach the Championship. ? - "The only person that can hit me up on WhatsApp...

Orlando Pirates midfielder Makaringe refuses to focus on Bidvest Wits’ quality

Gareth Bale's head has completely gone. He's been stuck in Madrid-based hell for a few years now, and he's just stopped caring. The Welshman isn't taking things seriously anymore and is having the time of his life stealing the show from the sidelines. It's incredible. His relationship with manager Zinedine Zidane looks to be at an all-time low (and that's saying something), and he's probably making it worse with each passing week. We say 'probably', because...his teammates actually seem kinda...

'Herrera died in the dressing room' - PSG boss Tuchel singles out midfielder for praise after Rennes win

sful Wycombe Wanderers weren't far off imploding in 2012. Financial instability and disappointing performances had them all the way down in League Two and flirting with non-league football.

Barca's loss to Cadiz 'a huge step back' - Koeman
