Never mind the strategy they may have to encourage grassroots participation, or to host a major international event - all that matters is that they know who scored the goal.

That was all over the papers and the news bulletins as opposed to being buried in columns called Soap Suds or the like.

Deirdre Barlow was a fictional character, the Sun is, as usual, mixing fact and fiction.
