The Transfer Deadline Day Retro
What done deals did your team make??
Inspiration to create something new can come from anywhere. Recently, the Sports news in the UK was dominated by the Transfer Deadline Day. To those unfamiliar, this is the last opportunity a Premiership Football team has until January to strengthen its team with new players.
As the reports were flooding in, my WhatsApp chats were pinging with the latest rumours and that moment of inspiration struck.
Retro number #87 in my collection is therefore the Transfer Deadline Day retrospective.
