    EFL club’s former stadium now a Morrisons supermarket after ground saw disastrous back-to-back relegations

    IT’S been a tale of hope to despair and back again.In 1990, a West Midlands club, that once played host to Liverpool great Alan Hansen, left their stadium after 94 years following back-to-back relegations down the footie pyramid.A current EFL club was forced to leave their iconic ground in 1990The stadium was called Fellows ParkThe site is now occupied by a Morrisons supermarketBut anyone visiting the spot where it once stood these days will be greeted by a much-different sight – a Morrisons supermarket.Relocation plans were put in place after a perimeter wall collapsed during a League Cup semi-final clash against Liverpool in 1984.In fact, Liverpool captain Graeme Souness joined in the rescue by memorably carrying an injured child to safety before the Reds won 2-0.In truth, by 1989 Fellows Park had seen better days before it was demolished in 1991.READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWSEven by that decade’s standards, the toilets were the stuff of legend.The Hillary Street roof flapped in high winds and showered fans with rusty water during matches on wet days.The ground was home to Walsall – who currently sit top of League Two and are odds on to go up.But in 1990, Walsall had dropped from the second to the fourth tier, in fact finishing bottom of the table each time.Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSThe Saddlers are one of only seven clubs to have suffered relegation in both of their final two seasons before moving home.By the time the last game at Fellows Park came around it was certain that Walsall would start life at Bescot in Division Four.Inside Arsenal’s new £300m+ stadium plans with futuristic Emirates project set to dwarf Spurs groundThe site was situated next to a railway line but now hosts one of the four big supermarketsIn their final campaign at Fellows Park they sacked John Barnwell as manager in March and brought former Aston Villa striker Gary Shaw for the last three months, but it was too late to save them.Despite its shortcomings, however, for Walsall’s 6,000 or so regular fans Fellows Park was home.Walsall’s record home attendance was when 25,453 fans flocked in to watch them play Newcastle in the Second Division on 29 August 1961.And the new ground at the Bescot Stadium was anything but a high-end product in 1989.Walsall fans were sorry to leave Fellows Park – but in truth, it was falling apart by 1983In fact, owner Terry Ramsden was effectively shifting them to a brownfield site underneath the M6.Walsall’s current digs were built in 1989–90 by GMI Construction, with a reported build cost of £4.5m.It was opened on 18 August 1990, by Sir Stanley Matthews, prior to a friendly against rivals Aston Villa in front of 9,551 spectators. Matthews was the inaugural winner, and first English player, to win the Ballon d’Or in 1956.But the arrival at the Bescot Stadium saw some stability brought back to the club as it was taken over by Jeff Bonser in 1991.Kenny Hibbitt managed the Saddlers for four years, setting the groundwork for a golden era that would follow soon after his dismissal in September 1994.New manager Chris Nicholl led the club to promotion back to the third tier in his first season.And Bonser only left Walsall in 2019, as current owner Leigh Pomlett acquired his 76 per cent majority stake.Ironically, in 2024, the ground was renamed the ‘Poundland Bescot Stadium’ for sponsorship reasons.READ MORE SUN STORIESA reminder of Fellows Park remains in the Bescot ground, in the name of the H.L.

    I’m former Newcastle striker who filled ex-England star’s car with ROTTEN FISH as revenge for him cutting up my clothes

    KIERON DYER was the subject of a pungent revenge prank by a former Newcastle team-mate.Back in 2004, the 33-cap England international pulled a prank on Michael Bridges, who had been signed to the Magpies on loan from Leeds in the latter half of the 2003/04 season.Kieron Dyer was the subject of a mental revenge prank by a team-mateCredit: GettyMichael Bridges put rotten fish in Dyer’s car after the ex-England star had cut up £5k worth of clothesCredit: News Group Newspapers LtdSpeaking on the Under the Cosh podcast in 2020, Bridges recalled how a birthday prank by Dyer ended up with a fishy surprise.Bridges revealed how he had been to London and brought around £5,000 worth of clothes, but was well aware his old clothes would be messed up as part of a traditional prank.But as it turned out, his new clothes had also ended up being trashed.He said: “I knew the gear I was wearing would get cut up because you’ve got your new clothes. That was normally the banter on your birthday.READ MORE IN FOOTBALL”I came in after training that day and, sure enough, all my sleeves were cut off. I had an Umbro sign cut out in the middle of my top and the jeans had been ripped up.”So I go into my bag to get my clothes out, and I remember getting out my leather jacket and the sleeves just fell off it. “And my jeans, whoever had done it had gone through five grand worth of clothes and destroyed the lot, so my head was gone.”Bridges recalled how there were only four left players in the dressing room, but managed to identify the culprit by asking Andy O’Brien, whom he described as someone you would never want to go to court with.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSHe continued: “I’ve turned to O’Brien and gone ‘Who’s done this?’ and he went ‘I can’t tell you, but Kieron Dyer’.”So I remember ringing Kieron and saying ‘You’re in trouble you mate’ and he denied it, but I knew it was him.”Football icons’ strange hobbiesBridges then hatched a plan for his revenge inspired by a Paul Gascoigne joke he had read in his book not long beforehand.Using the fish markets he lived by, Bridges went and brought a lot of fish guts to put into Dyer’s car and was incredibly even goaded on by the fishmonger.He said: “Mate, you’re probably going to read about it in two days, I’m going to put it in Kieron Dyer’s car.”I read Paul Gascoigne’s book recently. He put a fish in the glove box, he put one under the spare tyre of somebody’s car, and he put one on the bonnet. I’m going to do the same thing to Kieron.”And he said, Ah brilliant I’ll give you some extra heads.”Local lad Bridges then got help from the Newcastle staff, who Dyer was apparently rude to by flicking his Porsche car keys at them and without saying his please and thank yous.And when he told security guard, Davey, about the prank he was about to pull, the staff were more than willing to help out by handing the keys to Bridges to carry out his fish prank.He added: “When I told Davey and the lads who I was going to get, I said when Kieron comes today bring his car keys to me I’m going to put fish guts and everything in it’.”Davey said ‘Brilliant, I’m going to change the cameras on to his car so we can see it’.”Dyer was then late for training, and Davey came and told Bridges in the treatment room he had the keys.Vomit-inducingBridges went outside to Dyer’s car, popped open the bonnet and poured some of the fishy contents on the engine, which he recalls was like a barbeque with the smell being vomit-inducing.He then opened up the glove box and put some of the contents in there, with the leather dashboard of the car then soaking it up like a sponge. Despite Bridges reacting, “I’ve taken it one step too far here”, he then did the same thing to the spare tyre before a twist of fate saw the prank get even worse for Dyer.He continued: “Davey said ‘You’re not going to believe this, the bus has left and Kieron hasn’t gone to his car. They’re not going to be back until Saturday night, it’s going to stink’.”On Saturday afternoon Davey then sent a screenshot of the security cameras on his phone showing a white cat sitting outside smelling the car.Dyer eventually returned to his car with the security footage capturing his reaction as the smell hit him and knocked him back before he slammed the door.He then phoned Bridges and said: “‘I know it’s you I’m going to kill you’. So I said, ‘Did you do my clothes? I warned you that if you play with fire, you’re going to get burned. So, I’ve done you’.”Bridges also recalled how former BBC presenter Jermaine Jenas mentioned the prank was one of the best he had seen.READ MORE SUN STORIESThe now 46-year-old went on to play for the likes of Bolton, Sunderland and Hull before retiring in 2014.Meanwhile, Dyer stayed at Newcastle until 2007 before going on to play for West Ham, Ipswich, QPR and Middlesbrough.

    Ruben Amorim explains why Marcus Rashford is still exiled at Man Utd despite ‘WANTING to play’

    MARCUS RASHFORD is still exiled from Manchester United by manager Ruben Amorim – despite “WANTING” to play.The forward has been left out of United’s last three matches, starting before they beat City 2-1 in the Manchester derby. Marcus Rashford is still exiled from Manchester United by manager Ruben AmorimRashford said he is ready to leave Man UtdCredit: GettyAnd Rashford threw his future into doubt by sensationally revealing he is ready “for a new challenge.” The 27-year-old England international has since been dropped from the squad entirely by his manager. Amorim said: “It’s my decision. He wants to play. He is trying. Yes, it’s my decision, only my decision. “No, I spoke with a lot of players individually during training so I’m trying to do things my way. And it’s the only way I know. READ MORE ON MAN UTD”If I don’t do that, I will lose myself and I will not lose myself. I know what I am doing.” Rashford will not travel to Wolves with United on Boxing Day.And SunSport revealed his team-mates are furious after he revealed plans to try and leave the club. Rashford could even be loaned out in January to try and resolve the situation. Most read in FootballWhy Rashford joining Arsenal is perfect fitBy Martin LiptonMARCUS RASHFORD is at a crossroads.But now the England star has to make the biggest choice he has ever faced – does he care about cash, or about his career?Rashford’s shock admission that he is “ready for a new challenge” after some two decades under the Manchester United umbrella has altered the dynamic around his future.That Rashford might not fit the blueprint of Ruben Amorim – who has now responded to Rashford’s comments – was not exactly a surprise.The Portuguese coach prefers a 3-4-3 formation but appears to have settled on Rasmus Hojlund as his starting central striker and wants two “narrow” inside forwards, with the width coming from the wing-backs.Rashford has always wanted to play through the middle but is often at his best exploiting spaces out wide – and that skillset does not necessarily suit the way Amorim wants to play.Even so, going public with his evident dissatisfaction at being bombed entirely from the squad for the Manchester derby was a major move, even if he vowed there would be “no hard feelings” if he does leave his boyhood club.In truth, Rashford has been leaving United almost from the moment he signed that new £325,000 per week contract in 2023.Something was broken in his connection to the club. His form dropped, his threat dissipated, his issues with the hierarchy deepened.When Erik ten Hag dropped him for hosting a birthday party after a derby defeat, and he later pulled a sickie to miss the FA Cup game with Newport, it felt even then that the writing was on the wall.The facts suggest the love affair has ended. After scoring 30 in all competitions to earn that new deal, he has scored just 15 in the 18 months since it was signed.Amorim’s arrival seems merely to have accelerated what was increasingly inevitable.Now, though, it is up to Rashford to determine what his future will bring.If it is only about the money, then his options might be somewhat limited.It is hard to see a Prem rival coughing up the same £16.9m annual salary – although Rashford’s comments have probably knocked £20m-plus off any transfer fee, even next month.But Real Madrid have their fill of big-money strikers and Barcelona’s budget remains restricted by La Liga financial controls.In Europe, then, that probably leaves PSG – but a move to a one-club league.Or, in the wider world, he could follow the likes of Ivan Toney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Roberto Firmino and Co and head to the Saudi desert.Lucrative, yep. Certainly a different environment – and that may be exactly what Rashford both wants and needs. But the football? Not in a million years.What Rashford needs, above all, is to be able to play for trophies and showcase his talents.There is no better stage than the Premier League – which has far more global eyeballs on it than any other domestic competition.And in that Premier League there is one club crying out for a goalscoring No 9, especially if he can also play down the left channel to balance out the side and widen its threat.Rashford has always been more Longsight than London.Yet Arsenal, and Mikel Arteta, might be the perfect fit.The Gunners’ lack of a proper scorer is one of the major factors many fans feel has hurt their title challenge this year.Gabriel Jesus has never been a natural finisher, while Kai Havertz is still a converted midfielder.And while the link-up between Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka makes their right flank deadly, faith in Gabriel Martinelli on the left is waning.There have not been too many who succeeded at Arsenal after leaving United – although Danny Welbeck was not a flop.Rashford has all the attributes to change that history, if he can reproduce what everybody knows is inside him.And by breaking free, giving himself the chance to start all over, Rashford can make a point to Amorim that will resonate for a very long time.CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSIt comes after he incredibly told journalist Henry Winter: “For me, personally, I think I’m ready for a new challenge and the next steps.”He added: “When I leave it’s going to be ‘no hard feelings’. ‘Not just Marcus’ – Ruben Amorim has theory on who’s behind bombshell Rashford interview and will ‘forget it.. for now'”You’re not going to have any negative comments from me about Manchester United. That’s me as a person.”If I know that a situation is already bad I’m not going to make it worse.”I’ve seen how other players have left in the past and I don’t want to be that person.”When I leave, I’ll make a statement, and it will be from me.”Rashford has been dropped by AmorimCredit: Getty More
