The Town defender gave the highest praise to teammate Nicky Wroe, comparing his ‘nonchalant’ passing in the reserve friendly against Birmingham as Scholes-esque.

The midfielder is trying to force his way back into the starting line-up to play a part in Shrewsbury’s push for automatic promotion from League Two.

The Telford striker took to Twitter after the 2-1 win against Kidderminster on Tuesday evening, saying that he was still feeling the effects of a vital three points the following morning.

With Fleetwood the next visitors to the New Bucks Head, Sharp was looking forward to having a say in the Conference title race.

The former England cricket captain took a different approach to the news that Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar had become the first player to score 100 international centuries, tweeting his pride that the legend couldn’t cope with his own deliveries.

After reaching the landmark, you suspect that Tendulkar won’t lose much sleep about Vaughan’s ‘twirlers.’

After Wolves fell to a 2-0 defeat to Blackburn and the midfielder was involved in ugly scenes with fans as he tried to leave Molineux, O’Hara defended himself against critics who called him lazy on Twitter.

Citing the stats, he claimed that he had run further than any other player in the division that day as he looked to protect his standing amongst supporters.

His club’s fans may not agree, but the Arsenal midfielder was firmly in support of London rivals Chelsea as they beat Napoli in extra time at Stamford Bridge to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Wilshere revealed that he’d ‘jumped up’ when Lampard levelled the tie with a late penalty – he may have been the only one in a red shirt to do so.

The former Wolves loanee expected John Terry to celebrate Chelsea’s comeback against Napoli with a cheeky application for the manager’s job at the end of the season.

He was seen on the touchline on Wednesday night, alongside interim boss Roberto Di Matteo, shouting out instructions while the former Albion head coach looked on. Strange days indeed.

The boyhood Everton fan paid tribute to David Moyes, who celebrated his 10th anniversary at Goodison Park this week, describing him as one of the best managers around.

Owen’s loyalty to the Toffees didn’t last quite as long – at the age of 13, he chose to sign for their Merseyside rivals Liverpool instead and the rest, as they say, is history.

The former Derby captain joined the condemnation for the Rams fans who had sung ‘unacceptable’ songs about the late Nottingham Forest chairman Nigel Doughty, who passed away last month.

Savage, who sadly lost his own father on Sunday, called for a ban on those responsible for the chants.
