*Record Scratch* *Freeze Frame*

You're probably wondering how Leeds United ended up sacking their manager and sporting director to appoint Sam Allardyce to save their season.

Let me take you back to January 2018 and the signing of Adam Forshaw for £4.5m from Middlesbrough. At this point, Leeds United had been out of the Premier League for nearly 14 years and in the Championship for the past 8, finishing between 13th-15th nearly every season.

But things were changing.

As a former Sports editor I’m always curious about decisions newspapers make, especially around photo choice for the front page. With the England game, there were 3 obvious choices:
1: Sterling for breaking the deadlock
2: Kane sealing the win
3: Team photo reflecting team effort For me, the most important moment was Sterling’s goal. It changed the game and sparked unforgettable celebrations. Sterling also has a great back story, both his personal journey, his fight against racial injustice and sporting too with him overcoming doubts over his poor form.
