In December 1937, during a football match at Stamford Bridge in London between Chelsea FC and Charlton FC, the game was abandoned in the 60th minute due to heavy fog.

Unfortunately, Charlton FC goalkeeper Sam Bartram was unaware that the match had been stopped and continued to guard his goal for another fifteen minutes. He did not hear the referee’s whistle because of the noise from the crowd behind him. Believing that his teammates were attacking the opposing goal, he stood with outstretched arms, fully focused on protecting his goal amidst the dense fog.

It was only fifteen minutes later when the field police approached him and informed him that the match had been abandoned fifteen minutes earlier.

Sam Bartram, deeply saddened by this, famously said:

“ HOW SAD THAT MY FRIENDS FORGOT ME WHEN I WAS GUARDING THEIR GATE.

“ 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞’𝐬 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬. 𝐖𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐬, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐠𝐠𝐲, 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐧 𝐮𝐬.

DID YOU KNOW? This road doing rounds on Social media is known as Highway 10 and is located in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 , and NOT in KENYA 🇰🇪.

The road stretches from Haradh to Al Batha and cuts through the Rub Al-Khali desert.

Highway 10 has also been listed as the longest straight road in the Guinness World Records.

However, the Isiolo-Marsabit-Moyale is just breathtaking 🇰🇪👌🏾

WARNING: This is quite emotional

With all the negativity around the world please allow me to share this heartwarming story coming from our northern neighbour Ethiopia through Ethiopian Airlines Ethiopian Airlines

We get only to read about the negative stories about maids working in middle east and Lebanon has suffered the brunt alongside Saudi Arabia but here we have a positive story that spans three decades so it's no fluke.

An Ethiopian maid worked in Lebanon for 30 years to pay for her son’s studies to become a pilot. On her last trip, she was surprised that her son was indeed the pilot of the plane.

Take a look and may this bring a smile on your face ❤️🇪🇹

UNBELIEVABLE!!

Kenya's Kelvin Kiptum -- who 12 months ago had never run a marathon -- wins the 2023 Chicago Marathon in a world record of 2:00:35.

That crushes Eliud Kipchoge's previous record, set one year ago, by 34 seconds.
