Willie Harpur tells the story of his childhood football sticker albums and a happy ending.
“I completed the 1986 World Cup album pretty easily so I decided to start the 1987 English league one. Lennie Lawrence, the then-Charlton Athletic manager was the one sticker I needed for months I remember. I found it thrown on the road just after going to the shop to buy thousands more in swaps. It was the happiest day of my life then :)”

Toddler Maggie O’Dwyer starred in our Pic of the Week as she “led the Giro peloton coming through Malahide. James Brown has his suspicions, however:
“She needs to be drug tested. She wasn’t even heard of 3 years ago, now she’s leading the race. Very suspicious.”
