Cork City manager — and Arsenal fan — John Caulfield on the changing face of football

Enner Valencia is a doubt for West Ham’s trip to Arsenal on Saturday due to a cut toe suffered after he stood on a teacup.

England suffered a bizarre disruption during their World Cup opener against Italy on Saturday night.

Given that he is synonymous with the history of Cork City Football Club, it must be quite the double-whammy for the uninitiated to learn that the club’s new manager John Caulfield was (a) born some 3,000 miles from the banks of the Lee and (b) actually made his League of Ireland debut in the colours of Athlone Town.
