There aren’t many villages where you can walk into a jewellers, a hardware shop, or a cafe, and hear stories about one of the world’s biggest music icons. But in Mumbles, Swansea, Bonnie Tyler was never treated like a superstar. To many local people, she was Gaynor Sullivan, or “Gaynor who lived up the road”.The Total Eclipse of the Heart singer, who died in July aged 75, would often be seen doing her shopping or having a drink with friends.On Wednesday it seemed only fitting that the iconic song could be heard playing throughout the village as the biggest partial…

Guardiola’s friend and journalist Marti Perarnau spoke to the former City coach about his use of wide wingers during the 2016-17 season.As noted in Perarnau’s book, The Pep Revolution, Guardiola said: “It’s a difficult process.

Bide your time, be patient and your moment will come. “Then, when you do get your chance, think about it, how many opponents am I going to have to get past?”The answer? Just one.”We’ve come up with…
