Last Roll of The Dice for Cruel Hand Luke

Premiership Talk Blog 06 July @ 09:14 AM EDT

On the 20th of June 2006 in Cologne, Germany, I was sat high behind the goal in the RheinEnergieStadion (then called simply 'The FIFA World Cup Stadium') when in the fourth minute, a figure crumpled to the ground.
