Summary
Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Carl Anka and Dom Fifield reconvene to wrap up club football once and for all this season.
It’s a magnificent weekend for West London football as Chelsea defeat Man City in the Champions League final. We pay tribute to Tuchel, Mendy, the full-backs, Mount, Havertz and of course N'Golo Kante. Humble genius - a sure fire Ballon d’Or? Does he have to be considered an all-time great?
Also celebrating are Brentford fans who see their side promoted to the Premier League for the first time. Do they promise to be more Leeds than Fulham?
Plus Walcott’s shock call up remembered and a love letter to the away goals rule.
