Hawthorn has unveiled its highly anticipated 2024 Retro Guernsey, with the Menacing Hawk design emerging as the fan-favorite choice.

Now, the current-day Hawks are set to pay homage as they prepare to revive the Menacing Hawk for their Retro Round clash against Collingwood on Saturday, 20 July at the MCG.

Xherdan Shaqiri says how he wants to be remembered after pipping Cristiano Ronaldo to feat

Former Stoke City forward Xherdan Shaqiri scored a remarkable goal against Angus Gunn at Euro 2024, securing a draw with Scotland and propelling Switzerland into the knock-out stages. This stunning strike not only ensured Switzerland’s progression but also marked Shaqiri as the first European to score in each of the last six major tournaments, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo. Reflecting on his goal, Shaqiri said, “I wanted to take full advantage of the opponent’s mistake. Then I saw that the goalkeeper was standing far out and thought to myself: ‘Come on, flick it in now.’ I was glad that I didn’t injure my knees in the celebration. But of course, it was an important goal. And a very nice one too.”

Sheffield Wednesday are on the verge of securing their third summer signing, with a medical examination scheduled for today, according to The Star. The Owls have already announced the signings of Ben Hamer and Max Lowe, who will join from Watford and Sheffield United respectively at the end of the month. Now, it appears that a permanent deal for Tunisian international Yan Valery is imminent as the 25-year-old prepares for his medical at S6.

Last week, The Star reported that Wednesday had reached an agreement with French club Angers regarding a fee for Valery. Despite interest from Montpellier and Standard Liege, the French-born defender expressed his preference for a return to England, with Owls manager Danny Röhl playing a significant role in his decision to join Wednesday. Valery, a versatile player often deployed as an attack-minded right-back, will bolster the Owls’ flanks, having recorded five assists in Angers’ successful Ligue 2 promotion campaign last season.
