I never know if these count as a dark red – the first is an EWS liveried locomotive and it’s definitely a ‘dull’ red…
…But I’m pretty sure LMS / British Railways Maroon (sometimes called Crimson Lake) counts as Dark’ when it comes to reds…
…And then there’s our Wingate & Finchley away kit from a couple of years ago…
…I just wish I had some shots of the Chrysanthemums I used to grow with the red and gold petals – maybe something to look forward to as I replant the garden… 🙂
Most of what I post is just enthusiast and gaming junk – In the real world it doesn’t matter. I mean, who cares if I made a delivery on time in American Truck Simulator or changed my truck’s paint scheme in Euro Truck Simulator?
This is different and this time I would like my readers to take it seriously. There is a young footballer that I know very well as a friend who is facing the serious consequences of Cancer, specifically Ewings Sarcoma. His name is Spencer and I can say that I’ve been fortunate enough to enjoy watching him running down the wing and seen him place that telling cross into the box that results in a goal. I’ve also seen this young man giving inspirational talks to younger players, encouraging them to adopt the right attitude so that they can progress in the game. Spencer is someone that I have the utmost respect for. He will almost certainly never play football again but he has so much to offer young players seeking a start in the game and probably far beyond that with his level headed approach even in these most difficult of times.
