Recognise the wrist bandage and its owner but how did the comedian Brian Conley get to wear an England shirt? This wasn't the "Your boys took one hell of a beating!" game was it?

How cruel you are. The Middlesbrough match was just one week before the horror show of the 2-7 home defeat by Rotherham. I am sure the 9-year-old me went to bed that night thinking: ‘If I live to be 100, I will never see a worse defeat than that.’
In answer to the question you didn’t ask: Charlie Williams is in both photos. A clogger of a defender at football, a funny comedian in his second career, and a lovely bloke in real life.
