Malcolm Sterling is a life-long Gooner with an appreciation for defensive midfielders and "seeing games out". Favourite players include Emmanuel Petit, Gilberto and Michael Thomas. Hates social media more than he hates "that poxy radio clown" but loves horses more than Michael Owen and enjoys a football flutter. Malcolm misses Highbury more than he can express despite only managing to visit fewer times than he's been to the Emirates.
Football has long been called the beautiful game, and today it is played across the world. The top football leagues, including the English Premier League, attract fans from across the world, and players are paid enormous sums. Indeed it seems for a club to succeed in a top league today, it requires an owner with deep pockets.

The goal itself, one of pure bad luck and harsh angles, will go down in the memory as one of the most damaging of all-time, having stopped the Lionesses from taking what many had believed to be their rightful place within the Final of the tournament proper.
