RRD – Roberto Ricci Designs was founded between Grosseto, Tuscany and the beaches of the Hawaiian island of Maui. Young windsurfer Roberto Ricci first designed handmade surfboards, later fashion. Today, he has built a small empire with the ocean at its centre. 1989 was the year Ricci discovered the secrets of the surf gurus. It was not long before he became a shaper himself, someone who designs and builds surfboards. In 1994, he launched his first collection under the brand name RRD – Roberto Ricci Designs. At first, this included only surfboards, later the clothing line was added, which was developed in collaboration with Ricci’s friend Roberto Bardini. The first…

Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg has called on England’s top flight to stop using VAR to make rulings on offside calls. The new technology has come under increased scrutiny since being introduced this season and was at the centre of controversy once again during Liverpool’s win over Wolves on Sunday. Sadio Mane’s goal was correctly reinstated after referee Anthony Taylor had initially ruled it out, having called for handball on Adam Lallana. Then, on the stroke of half-time, Wolves thought they had equalised against the league leaders but Pedro Neto’s strike was ruled out for a marginal offside. It was the FOURTH controversial VAR incident of the weekend, after three…

2019 got the send-off it deserved on Sunday with three cracking games of football. Rangers sealed a rare Old Firm victory at Celtic, Chelsea staged a dramatic late turnaround at Arsenal, and Leeds won perhaps the game of the year in a nine-goal thriller with Birmingham. However, it has staunch competition following a dramatic calendar year which saw an untold amount of thrillers. Liverpool and Tottenham’s extraordinary Champions League runs come to mind, while Leeds were on the wrong side of a rather exciting game back in May. We’ve taken a look back at the most thrilling games of 2019 to try and decide which was our favourite. 7. Leeds…

Mikel Arteta has urged Granit Xhaka to stay at Arsenal beyond the January transfer window. Xhaka has been linked with a move to Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin with reports over the weekend suggesting it could be completed imminently. The Switzerland international was stripped of the Arsenal captaincy following an outburst at supporters in October. He appeared to tell fans to ‘f*** off’ when they jeered him while being substituted against Crystal Palace. The 27-year-old has worked his way back into the fold but his agent has said his plan was to depart next month, with Hertha Berlin interested in acquiring his services. Xhaka missed the 2-1 defeat to Chelsea on…

Manchester United may have lost out on Erling Haaland, but they are now on red alert over the future of Jadon Sancho with Borussia Dortmund ready to sell the English star this summer. Dortmund beat United and a host of top European clubs to the surprise signing of Haaland on Sunday, with the 19-year-old Norwegian striker signing a four-and-a-half year deal. It is claimed a number of teams were prepared to pay the youngster’s relatively cheap £17.1 million release clause, and Man United had put the biggest contract on the table. But Haaland opted for Dortmund as he believes he has the best chance to continue his progression with the…

The Blues forward is his club’s man of the moment but the speed of his development on the pitch is not being matched by talks over fresh terms Tammy Abraham’s contract talks with Chelsea have stalled as his representatives have asked for parity with the £180,000-a-week that team-mate Callum Hudson-Odoi currently earns. As first revealed by Goal, a 19-year-old winger at Stamford Bridge is working on lucrative terms, but those earnings rely on the youngster hitting a series of targets in order to take home what is one of the highest salaries in world football for a teenager. Hudson-Odoi had less than a year on his contract when his new…

Daniel Angeli a été le photographe de Johnny Hallyday pendant 17 ans, avant de se faire écarter de l’entourage du rockeur du jour au lendemain. “Ce n’est pas ce dont j’ai envie de me souvenir aujourd’hui“, explique-t-il aujourd’hui, trois semaines après la mort du chanteur. Il fut un temps où Daniel Angeli suivait partout Johnny Hallyday – en tournée, en vacances à Saint-Barth, dans ses moments d’intimité avec Laeticia, ou bien encore lorsqu’ils ont adopté Jade lors d’un voyage au Vietnam. A l’été 2010, le photographe a ensuite été écarté de la vie du rockeur, après 17 ans de bons et loyaux services. A l’origine : une série de clichés…
