“our special mention this week goes to bus drivers, who, despite being on the front line of the virus, with little-no protection, continue to work diligently. They are some of the less thought of people when we think of key workers, however, their continued work means many key workers can get to their destination.
Los Campos salutes you!!”

Report
BT Sport recently done a poll to find out the Team of the Century, and, after a 50-50 draw, and re-vote, the winners have been announced!
Celtic's team of 1967, also known as the 'Lisbon Lions', became the first British team ever to win the European Cup (the Champions League as we know it now).
It would seem easy to favour the more recent contenders, but the fact that they won only goes to show what a special team they were.
They were up against some fierce opposition:
*Barcelona of 2008-09, who won the league, Champions League, Copa del Rey, Spanish Supercup, and European Supercup;
*Manchester United of 1998-99, who won the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League;
*Real Madrid team of 1955-60, who won 5 consequetive European Cups;
among many others.
