Of all the players who look sad when they’re sad, Sonny really looks sad. Building up to the Europa League final all I could imagine was a disconsolate South Korean walking around the pitch applauding mournfully. The Harry Kane walk. His smile when shiny-shoed Aleksander Ceferin hands him the trophy broke me. Apparently the Uefa Cup weighs 15kg – the same as my three-year-old. That trophy certainly looked lighter than when young Ian demands to be carried home from the park.As a very sleep-deprived middle-aged dad of young kids, the emotion of football back home hits a lot harder than it used to.

2 w. ago ‘I punched another dad’ – your stories of the worst parent behaviour at kids’ football
