Hero..... Won't find anybody questioning where he was born, because it doesn't fit their agenda. Just a man doing what he could in the face of a horrific incident. I hope he is OK and isn't affected long term by what he witnessed.
A heroic man, Joel Verite, 25, tackled the knifeman who stabbed children at a dance class in Southport. The former rugby player for Salford & Wigan bravely jumped on the killer before carrying the girls who had been stabbed.

Lot been said about these men coming back into life. I cant help but enjoy it. Having big gates like this for home/away fixtures can only be of benefit to the league and clubs. It's a great experience for the young lads who've never played in front of big crowds. Cant wait 💪🏼

Embarrassing IV this. I stayed quiet about the weird antics of the 'owner' today but this is too much. They don't understand or respect non league footy and the clubs giving it their everything to stay afloat season in season out. An they wonder why they're disliked?!, 🥴
