    Former Liverpool captain Tommy Smith, who helped the club to domestic and European success in the 1960s and 1970s, has died aged 74.

    Known as the "Anfield Iron", Smith had an 18-year career at Anfield, during which he won four league titles.

    He scored in the 1977 European Cup final as Liverpool beat Borussia Monchengladbach 3-1 to win the trophy for the first time.

Spurs fans have seen this "Classic Spurs" before, either a 0-0 stalemate or a scrappy 1-0 win to Huddersfield! I'm trusting that you know what you're doing Poch!

    I understand some rotation but I think this is a bridge too far. We got our fingers burnt over-rotating a couple of years ago in an easy Champions League group and failed to make the second round. I know Huddersfield aren't that level but to play a back four/five that haven't started a competitive game together all season smacks as being too casual. This is a must win game.

    Mauricio Pochettino is taking no risks ahead of Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final second-leg.

    Dele Alli, who we know has a fractured hand, is not in today's squad.

    Son Heung-min is on the bench alongside defenders Danny Rose, Toby Alderweireld and Kieran Trippier.

    Fernando Llorente starts up front.

    Tottenham have got a lot of work to do to secure a top-four place and this is a situation where they should pick their best team, get the game won - and then they can take their foot off the pedal.

    Sulaimon Adelekan: Spurs will cope without Harry Kane with Son playing well. Kane wouldn't be missed both club and country. The current England squad have enough quality to cover Kane's absence.

    Sami Choudhury: Harry Kane being out looked good before, so fans are getting optimistic. I strongly feel that this time however, things won't be good and Spurs will miss him. Then fans and me will be crying for him back.

  17. A first international call-up at age 49?published at 11:06 British Summer Time 13 April 2019

    How many people can say they got their first international call-up at the age of 49?

    And of those - if there are any - how many can say they were spotted while playing a match on billionaire businessman Sir Richard Branson's Caribbean holiday island of Mosquito?

    Martin Smith, a plumber from Ipswich, is the only one.

    After playing in that charity game, he was thrust into the British Virgin Islands (BVI) squad for their Concacaf Nations League qualifiers against Bonaire and the Turks and Caicos Islands last month in Anguilla.

    Selected as reserve goalkeeper in those games he is yet to win a cap, but if he did it would make him the second-oldest international player in the world.

    Five years since Steven Gerrard's slip: what else happened when Liverpool's title hopes sl

    On 27 April 2014 Liverpool lost at home to Chelsea and Manchester City won at Crystal Palace on a day which turned the Premier League title race in dramatic fashion.

    Liverpool, with Steven Gerrard's slip proving so crucial, werebeaten 2-0 at Anfield,while City came out on top at Selhurst Park by the same scoreline before going on to win the league and deny the Reds a first title since 1990.

    Five years on, the same two protagonists are again challenging to become champions and face the same opponents at the same venues this Sunday - only with quadruple-chasing City playing first this time around - on what could be another title-defining day.
