Belgrave Wanderers are taking on the Guernsey FA side tomorrow in preparation for the Muratti Vase against Jersey next weekend, but I had no idea that The Track had hosted such an illustrious group of players in the past.

George Best, Bobby Moore and Rodney Marsh have all played at The Track before, taking on the Guernsey Island XI.

There's no date on the match programme below, but George only played for Fulham for one season, so we can take a good guess at 1977.

Paying just £1.20 to see George Best, Bobby Moore and Rodney Marsh play football is a pretty good deal!

There will be no Russian representative at this years Liberation Day slave memorial service in Jersey - because of a diplomatic row between Russia and Britain.

The dispute is over the alleged poisoning of the former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia - suspected to have been the work of Russian agents.

In an email to organiser Gary Font, the Russian embassy in London said that since the poisoning of Mr Skripal many of its diplomats and officers had been expelled from the country. As a result, it had no one to send to the island this year.

For the past 30 years Russia has sent a representative to Jersey to acknowledge the slave workers who suffered and died in the island during the war.

The Germans brought them to Jersey to dig tunnels and build bunkers. They were held in squalid conditions, and more than 100 died from mistreatment and starvation.

Mr Font said he was disappointed that such a long tradition would be broken - but that someone from the island would lay a wreath on Russia's behalf.
