England goalkeeper was attacked on the pitch.The 73-year-old recently announced his final retirement after 42 years of management, which has featured all manner of memorable moments.

Formula One's rampant expansion continues to bring the sport to the forefront of millions of fans around the globe and the goal is to continue in that vein, with more races and venues added to the calendar.The United States is a particular area of interest, with the nation set to host three Grands Prix next season with the addition of a night race in Las Vegas, while the Middle East is enjoying a surge of it's own - with Saudi Arabia and Qatar among the recent additions.A major issue, however, is the fact that the Concorde Agreement, which runs until 2025, limits the amount of races per season to 24 - and, should a replacement be found for the axed Russian Grand Prix in 2022, this season's calendar will have 23 races.With Las Vegas coming next season, Qatar joining as a permanent member and a return to Shanghai expected, as well as a rumoured return to South Africa, the numbers simply don't add up - which means that we could have to wave farewell to some of the venues we've come to adore.Remarkably, F1 chief Stefano Domenicali has made it clear that historic tracks are not untouchable - which raises the threat of losing some of the most illustrious and famous tracks from the sport - and it's Europe that seems most likely to suffer, as Daily Star Sport shown in our selection of the races that could be lost....MonacoThe prospect of a Formula 1 season without a trip to the French principality is staggering, as Monaco is widely regarded to be the most famous race on the calendar and is a staple of the calendar.However, the track doesn't quite fit the current focus of Formula 1, which is entertainment, as this century there has remarkably been an average of only 12 overtakes per race at Monaco - where the race can often

Two-thirds of drivers fear they’ve been “ripped off” when selling their vehicle – because they didn’t know enough about cars.A poll of 2,000 adults, who have sold their motor during the past five years, found over half (54%) believe they received less than their car was worth when handing over the keys – getting £977 on average.But 85% of those polled, via OnePoll, said their priority was simply to get rid of their vehicle as quickly as possible.And this apparent lack of time may explain why a third of those who have sold their car in the past five years didn’t shop around to get the best price for their vehicle.The research, commissioned by Motorway, found more than one in ten (12%) didn’t even consult valuation guides to find out what their vehicle was actually worth.A spokesman for the online-only used car marketplace said: “Selling your vehicle can be a headache for many, particularly if you don’t feel confident in your knowledge of cars.“But there is an easy and simple way to sell your car online for a good price.”The study also found three-quarters (76%) were daunted at just the thought of what selling their car entails.As a result, seven in ten consumers actively avoided selling their car, amid concerns that doing so would be a hassle.And a further 69% revealed they would accept less than the market value for their vehicle in order to make the process easier.However, 62% admit they have regretted rushing to sell cars in the past – because they received less money for them as a result.Just one in seven (14%) of those polled said they were “very confident” they got a good price for their car.

More than nine in ten (93%) Muslims would like to see more initiatives from UK companies to raise awareness of Ramadan and its practices.A study of 500 Muslims revealed that while nearly half (48%) feel their employers do take some measures to support the community during Ramadan, more could be done in the workplace.More flexibility (56%), earlier finish times (55%) and frequent breaks throughout the day (41%) were among the top things these workers would like to have during the month.Later start times and working from home also feature among the workplace requests.In response to these findings, Uber Eats launched its “Sundown Spots” initiative – a series of pop-up restaurants offering free iftar meals after sundown, to support the delivery drivers and couriers working throughout Ramadan.BAFTA nominated TV chef, Zuhair Hassan – known to many as Big Zuu – who is working with Uber Eats, said: “For me, Ramadan is a time to reset and reflect.“Iftar is my favourite part of Ramadan. It feels like a pinnacle moment – you take a step back, realise where you are now, and where you’re meant to be heading.“So I’m pleased to be partnering with Uber Eats on an initiative that is celebrating the significance of this moment.“It’s so important that Muslims are represented and feel seen and heard in modern Britain, not least during the most sacred month in the Islamic calendar – so it’s great to be able to highlight the fantastic food our culture has to offer.“When it comes to opening fast, I’ll eat most things – apart from pork, of course.
