Every part of this perfectly true story appears improbable and is much the better for it. The beginning, the middle and the end are all as wonderfully unlikely as each other, yet as new postscript chapters continue to be written, there is not really an end at all.

Even more incredible than that, it all came from just a £1.50…

Despite the sport's best attempts to distract us with a summer of talk about transfer portal, realignment, NIL and governance-oh, and some College Football Playoff expansion thrown in for good measure-we have made it to Week 1.
