Today, on It Was What It Was, the incredible story of Imre Hirschl - salami salesman, blagger, genius. With zero experience, he bluffed his way into a job and redefined South American football, won the double at River Plate and helped Uruguay to the 1950 World Cup.

Carter-Ruck, the UK’s most notorious libel firm, used abusive litigation to silence criticism of a former Tory donor. The Solicitors Regulation Authority is investigating - but Carter-Ruck just filed a judicial review. If successful, they'll have total impunity. Thread:

Had a golden afternoon with Robin Van Persie in Rotterdam. He always saw things - as he played - a little differently. Love of the football, passion, expression was paramount for him on pitch and underpin his coaching. On his beliefs and inspiration from Wenger, Fergie, Pep
