A burnt-out car dealership in Preston, England. Like a post-apocalyptic scene from the #Fallout series. Inside the collapsed warehouse, twisted car shells and orange oxidised metal fill the space.

Approximately 150 vehicles were inside when the fire started.

Il Fatto Quotidiano: Bove torna al gol dopo 506 giorni: “Quanto mi mancava questa sensazione”. E i tifosi gli dedicano uno striscione

Il ritorno in campo e adesso anche il primo gol. Edoardo Bove mette un altro tassello nella sua “nuova” carriera dopo quell’1 dicembre 2024 in cui durante un Fiorentina–Inter si è accasciato all’improvviso, facendo temere il peggio. L’ex centrocampista della Roma ha infatti segnato a 506 giorni dall’ultima volta. Lo ha fatto nel corso di Watford–Wrexham, finita 3-1, con Bove che ha proprio segnato la rete del 3-1 per chiudere il match.
Il centrocampista ha condiviso poi la sua gioia anche sui social, dove ha pubblicato la foto della sua esultanza accompagnata dalla frase: “Quanto mi mancava questa sensazione“. Bove non segnava dal 27 ottobre 2024, quando nel match tra Fiorentina e Roma segnò il gol del momentaneo 4-1, circa due mesi prima di accasciarsi in campo in Fiorentina-Inter. Al termine della partita, i tifosi gli hanno anche dedicato uno striscione con scritto: “Anche se lasci Roma, non sarai solo”.
Bove era tornato in campo dopo il malore con la maglia del Watford nella 32esima giornata della Championship, in trasferta contro il Preston entrando all’86esimo. Classe 2002, Bove si è trasferito in Inghilterra dove, a differenza di quanto succede in Italia, gli è permesso continuare a giocare ad alti livelli anche a chi ha un defibrillatore sottocutaneo. Al Watford ha firmato un contratto fino al 2031. Dal 24 febbraio non ha ancora giocato titolare, ma è sempre subentrato fino a segnare il primo gol ieri, 17 marzo.
La legge italiana non gli permette di svolgere attività agonistica con l’apparecchio in questione. In Inghilterra invece si può. Ma perché? In Italia la responsabilità diretta è a carico del medico sportivo che concede l’idoneità. In Inghilterra invece Bove ha firmato una dichiarazione in cui si assume tutti i rischi. La responsabilità è soltanto sua.

Bull returns to scoring after 506 days: “I missed this feeling so much.” And the fans dedicate him a banner.

His return to the field and now also his first goal. Edoardo Bove has put another piece in his “new” career after December 1, 2024, when during a Fiorentina–Inter match he suddenly collapsed, raising fears of the worst. The former Roma midfielder has scored 506 days since his last time scoring. He did so during Watford–Wrexham, which ended 3-1, with Bove scoring the 3-1 goal to close out the match.

The midfielder then shared his joy on social media, where he posted a photo of his celebration accompanied by the words: “How much I missed this feeling.” Bove hadn’t scored since October 27, 2024, when in the match between Fiorentina and Roma he scored the momentary 4-1 goal, about two months before he collapsed on the field in Fiorentina-Inter. At the end of the match, the fans also dedicated him a banner that read: “Even if you leave Rome, you will not be alone.”

Bove returned to the field after the episode with the Watford jersey in the 32nd round of the Championship, away against Preston entering in the 86th minute. Born in 2002, Bove moved to England where, unlike what happens in Italy, it is allowed for him to continue playing at a high level even with a subcutaneous defibrillator. At Watford he signed a contract until 2031. He has not yet played as a starter since February 24, but he has always been substituted until he scored his first goal yesterday, March 17.

Italian law does not allow him to engage in competitive activity with the device in question. In England, however, it is possible. But why? In Italy, direct responsibility lies with the sports doctor who grants suitability. In England, however, Bove signed a statement in which he assumes all the risks. The responsibility is only his.

The article Bove returns to the goal after 506 days: “How much I missed this feeling”. And the fans dedicate him a banner comes from Il Fatto Quotidiano.

Just spent a great afternoon at the Harris Museum in Preston enjoying the wide range of local artists (all living/working within 5 miles of the museum) on show at the Preston Open.

A wonderful range of work from the utterly brilliant to the hilariously inept (but charming), as well as some really talented artists & insightful works.

A great couple of hours which I would thoroughly recommend for anyone in the area.
