Manchester United fans can now quite literally wear some of the club’s greatest memories, thanks to a striking collaboration between designer Hattie Crowther and fan platform UtdCultur.

The capsule, titled ‘Culture, Not Clout’, takes three unforgettable moments from United’s history and embeds them into hand-crafted shirts.

The most recent memory chosen is Amad Diallo’s dramatic FA Cup winner against Liverpool in 2024, his celebration stitched across a replica of the 2022/23 away shirt.

Wayne Rooney’s famous overhead kick against Manchester City in 2011 – one of the most replayed goals in Premier League history – is immortalised on the 2015/16 home shirt. And finally, Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s treble-clinching strike in 1999, complete with his knee-slide celebration, has been worked into a 2012/13 home kit.

Each shirt has been carefully reconstructed from authentic United jerseys, with small details added to capture the spirit of the moment. One features the tongue-in-cheek phrase “A toe poke? Treble.” inside the collar, a nod to Solskjær’s legacy.

Crowther, already known for transforming football shirts into unique fashion pieces, and UtdCultur, a platform dedicated to the heart of United fandom, describe the shirts as a way to “wear the memories that made us.”

That they certainly do.

Erling Haaland was left needing stitches in his face after a freak accident while away on international duty with Norway.

The Manchester City striker, 24, scored the only goal in Norway’s 1-0 win over Finland on Thursday and is now preparing to face Moldova in their latest World Cup qualifier. But he’ll be doing so with a fresh battle scar after clashing with a bus door.

Haaland revealed the incident on Snapchat, sharing a photo of a cut under his lip alongside the caption: “Just got banged out by a bus door. Three stitches.”

Norwegian outlet VG reported he was struck by a luggage door while exiting the team bus, though the injury is not considered serious.

Never one to miss a joke, Haaland asked fans for “wrong answers only” on how it happened. When one suggested teammate Martin Ødegaard was responsible, the striker replied: “Correct.” He later quipped that the cut “looked good.”

Norway are pushing to qualify for their first World Cup since 1998, and with four wins from four games – plus four goals in four from Haaland – they look well on course.

And if the team’s star striker can survive a bus door, chances are he can handle whatever defenders try next.

Peter Crouch made an unlikely return to the pitch at the weekend – this time not as a player, but as mascot for non-league side Farnham Town FC.

The former England striker towered over players, mascots, and even the match officials as he walked out ahead of Farnham’s Southern League Premier Division South clash with Sholing.

The stunt was a forfeit after Crouch finished bottom of his Fantasy Premier League (FPL) mini-league – but for the record crowd at the Memorial Ground, it was anything but punishment.

Cheered on by fellow That Peter Crouch Podcast co-hosts Chris Stark and Steve Sidwell, the 6ft 7in ex-Liverpool and Spurs forward got fully stuck in. He took part in a half-time challenge, slotted home a goal, and broke out his famous robot celebration to the delight of fans.

Crouch also posed for endless selfies, signed autographs, and even joined the other mascots for dinner.

Farnham later hailed him as a class act, writing on Instagram: “What a man @crouchy is! Threw himself into the experience and went above and beyond to make everyone’s day!”

On the pitch, Farnham played out a 2-2 draw to extend their unbeaten start to life in the division – though it’s safe to say the biggest win of the day was Crouchy’s dance moves.

Play was brought to a standstill during Austria’s 2026 World Cup qualifier against Cyprus after a sinkhole suddenly appeared on the pitch late in the second half.

The bizarre incident occurred around the 75th minute, when Danish referee Jakob Kehlet halted the match after noticing the gaping hole near Austria keeper Alexander Schlager’s box at the Raiffeisen Arena, in Linz.

The opening was wide enough to swallow an entire football, prompting ground staff to rush on with buckets of sand in a frantic attempt to patch it up.

After more than seven minutes of repairs, Kehlet finally gave the green light to resume, with Austria eventually sealing a 1-0 win thanks to Marcel Sabitzer’s second-half penalty – scored before the ground gave way.

The win means Austria are now second in Group H qualifying, having won all three of their games so far, behind also unbeaten Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Remarkably, this isn’t the first time Austrian football has flirted with the earth caving in. Back in 2022, a Nations League clash against Denmark, which Austria lost 2-1, at the Ernst Happel Stadium was also interrupted by a huge sinkhole opening up on the pitch.

At least this time Austria still managed to dig out the three points – though maybe someone in should be calling a geologist before the next fixture.
