Bullfighting is actually banned in some parts of Spain including in the Canary Islands since 1991. 
Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

Daniel Sturridge has 2 champions league medals. Whatever about the Chelsea one, I thought he’d left Liverpool when they won it in 2019.

He got two, under Steve “ The Gaffer” Staunton, against Bolivia and Ecuador on that remarkable tour where a lot of obscure players got caps. Mind you, he did make Arsenal’s bench once. More clubs since than I can remember but retired now.

Both Sopranos actors Butch (Greg Antonacci) & Philly Leotardo (Frank Vincent) died within one week of each other in September 2017. Cry

I think I read about David Ervine warning people to that effect.
