Needed Darwin as Skywalker dropping two bombs into the net destroying the death star though.

I'm particularly fond of the Trevor Francis Shot Put circle. Often wondered when I saw that as a kid why they didn't cover it up with something.
The inflatable Maradona entrance is mad though

He does. And notwithstanding El Tel’s ups and downs, he was evidently a gifted and innovative coach. The England team that went so close in Euro96 was just unlucky - they were the best team in that tournament, in no small part due to him.

My god

What a classy guy Squires is, right balance of sadness, humour, banter and tribute

Welling up here

Thats just lovely

Agree with everyone, he's brilliant at this sort of thing. Gets the balance of sentimentality and humour spot on.

was editing my post to say the same thing as you posted that

The ones for Bobby and Jack Charlton were class too

The way Munich constantly stuck in Bobby's mind

There was one with Jack too, shows him retired, happy, fishing with his dog

last pic, the dog is there but Jack is gone, I know a few mates who shed tears at that one

Oli McBurnie did make me laugh a lot. As did Haaland & Grealish's Gareth & Brent double act.

How he gets an abstract dot-drawing on a lemon to be instantly recognisable as Dyche is just brilliant.

He's got a library of brilliant caricatures - Mourinho, behEddie, OFC, Arteta, Dyche.

It's an Alan Partridge reference (I assume, unless there's something else!)

That's what came straight into my mind but I want to hear more about Brian's anecdote!

It's not one of my favourites from Squires but then I'd have just scrawled Hodgson's face onto a nut sack and left it at that. I guess the Guardian expect a bit more nuance (and talent!) from Squires.

Yeah, Brian's story rings a vague bell, maybe something from Ste Armstrong via The Anfield Wrap or I might be making that up, he had some crazy tales though!
