A Christmas Gift From WBA
2015 will be forever remembered as the year Joe Luca discovered football. All previous hobbies and interests took a back seat as the little man put on his football boots and never looked back. His love for his team, West Bromwich Albion has no bounds, he literally lives, eats (Match of the Day repeats with his breakfast anyone?) and sleeps – in a West Brom duvet of course – football. And, as well as loving his team with a unbridled passion that borders on obsession, he also likes to play a little… Joe has spent the year working with coaches from The Albion Foundation, a brilliant organisation that works in…

Getting ready for the World Cup Final with Moonpig
If we remove England’s poor performance from the Equation, it has to be said that the 2014 World Cup has been superb. There was the shocking early exits for the holders Spain, Portugal and Italy. The amazing goal keeping display from Tim Howard, the star making performances for Columbia’s Rodriguez, and then, last night, the gobsmacking display as the Germans annihilated and humilated the hosts Brazil in a 7-1 drubbing. It all makes the final a mouthwatering prospect. Just in time for Sunday’s final, Moonpig have a great range of football inspired t-shirts that you can keep as a fabulous memento of a truly memorable World Cup. There are designs…
