Santa Cruz 1985 away. In 1943, with the Pernambuco side facing bankruptcy, club officials agreed to play several fixtures in Natal and Belém in exchange for a bumper payday of 5m Réis. What followed was the notorious tale of the so-called Excursão da Morte or 'Death Tour' 🧵👇

After 4 long months and 28 matches, the doomed party finally arrived back on 29 April, only 3 days before the opening tie of the new season. The tour has gone down in infamy as either the Excursão da Morte (the Death tour) or the Excursão Suicida (the Suicidal tour).

A final voyage home was cancelled due to a combination of poor weather and the ongoing presence of German U-boats. What remained of the hapless Santa Cruz squad instead boarded a train home, which inevitably derailed en route to Pernambuco.

After one particular fixture, local police arrested Santa Cruz's Pedrinho, who was accused of "doing evil to a 17-year-old girl." It transpired that the police officer who had ordered his arrest was, in fact, a Director of a rival club seeking to sign the skilful defender.

As nervous club officials took turns to keep watch on the 15 trophies secured during the ill-fated tour, teammates played cards with delighted jailbirds. Then, when their boat was temporarily detained in Maranhão, O Mais Querido played another 3 friendlies with a side featuring the ship's cook.

However, their plans were quickly foiled by the Confederação Brasileira de Desportos, who threatened a 90-day ban for the club. When the players were forced to downgrade to third class tickets for their boat journey home, they were seated next to 35 prisoners in steerage.

Goalkeeper King and striker Papeira died of typhoid, having ignored orders not to play barefooted. By now, the club was in a financial death spiral. To meet mounting travel, medical and funeral costs, officials sought to extend the tour to Peru and Guyana.

Confined to a steamship for two long weeks, several players contracted dysentery. Frustrated by the club's failure to pay wages, star players Cidinho, Omar and França, absconded - signing contracts with local sides. Farce would soon turn to tragedy.

Having completed their original fixtures in Belém, club officials agreed to play a series of money-spinning exhibition matches in Manaus, deep in the Amazonian Rainforest. It was a decision that would ultimately prove deadly.

It was an inauspicious start for the side known as the Terror Do Nordeste or 'Terror of the Northeast'. Amidst the backdrop of WWII, the threat of German U-boat attacks prompted the Brazilian Navy to provide an escort to the side's steamboat, the Pará.

In 1934, Derby County took their team on tour in Germany. Players were expected to give the right-handed Nazi salute before games. Enter Jack Kirby. On the far-left of this photograph you can see Kirby turning his back on the salute as he saw it as wrong. A direct act of defiance against fascism.

Useless picture, sorry, but today was another official launch @bclivingmuseum.bsky.social. Our main interpretation is via historic characters, and our new Mohammed will demo our foundry and talk about his Bengali heritage. He's based on Ismail's (centre) dad, who moved to Wednesbury in 1957.

Shot i took of the Chorsu Bazaar in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Designed in 1980 by Vladimir Azimov and Sabir Adylov, the blue domed structure is a wonderful example of late Soviet Modernism. Chorsu translates as both "crossroads" and "four streams" in Tajik.

Early this morning, an autonomous group of New Yorkers reclaimed an F train car, replacing ads with signage reading “A MAN WAS LYNCHED HERE” and Jordan Neely’s name, as a jury deliberates over whether to convict Daniel Penny, Neely’s killer, with his death last May.

A shot i took of a smallholder burning crops in the shadow of his diaolou in Kaiping, China. A traditional fortified multi-storey watchtower, this particular diaolou was built in the early 1900s using remittances sent home by former villagers who had emigrated to the Southwestern United States.

DAZN rescuing FIFA with a broadcasting deal on the same day Saudi Arabia are linked to investing/rescuing loss-making DAZN, coinciding with FIFA giftwrapping a World Cup to Saudi Arabia. Possibly all entirely unconnected events in which coincidentally all three parties come out as big winners.

Photos from my Giz a Job project exploring the '81 People's March for Jobs, a right-to-work protest that featured a contingent of leftwing punks: "I hadn’t signed up to join a workers army. We were there to represent ourselves and our people... [I wore] mildly offensive t-shirts - ‘Smash NF Scum’."

Scottish Cup Final, 1988. Then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was in attendance. Celtic and Dundee United fans displayed red cards against her and her policies which devastated much of Scotlands industrial heartlands. This is one example of politics and football mixing. They are inseparable.

A couple of pics i took of Las Tres Xemeneies in Barcelona. In April 1973, during the construction of the now abandoned power plant, there was a violent dispute over working conditions. Amidst a series of running battles, a trade unionist was fatally shot by the Guardia Civil.
