He became a team ambassador, and then got a bronze statue outside the United Center. He was a regular at home games, drawing loud cheers when he was shown on the videoboard, often with former teammate Bobby Hull right beside him. “I was proud to wear the Indianhead uniform for 22 years,” Mikita said when he was honored before a 2008 home game.

In a post shared on Mumsnet’s Am I Being Unreasonable (AIBU) subforum under the username GoGoNads, the woman said she and her husband recently secured a mortgage on a house using the “significant deposit” they had saved. They also used some of the inheritance her husband received from his late mother to “benefit from a lower LTV [loan-to-value, which is the ratio of mortgage to property value].

Spurs have made England’s national stadium their temporary home since the start of last season and the ongoing delay over the opening of the new White Hart Lane has seen some of the novelty wear off. A paltry 33,012 attended Wednesday’s routine 3-1 win over Premier League strugglers Southampton – the lowest crowd for a Tottenham game at Wembley since the start of their tenancy. “It’s just not nice anymore,” Rose told reporters when discussing the tepid atmosphere....
