A seven-goal miracle – that’s lower tiers of English football for you

Football has become an industry, an extremely powerful one and it has long been more than just a game. Modernization robs the sport of its soul, but it cannot completely eradicate charm and romance. At least not in the lower ranks. The most beautiful stories are written there, it is a parallel universe in which not everything revolves around money and rich owners. Especially in the UK, where emotions reside in the lower leagues… And miracles are possible.Anything can happen in Englush football – including promotion to a higher rank by scoring seven goals in the last round. That’s exactly what the Bristol Rovers needed against Scunthorpe and that’s how much they achieved. Scoreboard showed 7-0, delirium in the stands, and after the final whistle of the referee – a party which moved from the stands to the pitch.The incredible moment Bristol Rovers scored their 7th goal of the game to secure automatic promotion to League One, going above Northampton on the final day of the season.@Official_BRFC @SkyFootball @btsportfootball @ITVSport @BBCSport @BBCBristol @BristolLive#BristolRovers pic.twitter.com/u28B474FyI— Enzo (@enzoxss) May 7, 2022 Joey Barton was remembered as the crazy head of English football, often cheeky, known for his dirty tackles.
