Higgins’ Incredible Strike Claims Guildhall Shopping Centre Goal of the Month

Akeel Higgins delivered a beautifully executed chip over the goalkeeper to earn himself a 68% public vote for the Guildhall Shopping Centre’s October Goal of the Month at the Devon Derby. It was the player’s first professional strike, which has quickly embedded the 20-year-old’s Exeter City loan as his early legacy within the hearts of his now rising fans. The award allows Higgins to carry a badge of honour that shows a notable turning point in what seemed like a silently ascending career.

Higgins joined the Exeter City club from West Bromwich for a season-long loan in September...

Hacking League One will be top priority for Exeter City following promotion to the division after a 10-season wait, and while survival will be a great achievement at the end of 2022-23, nothing should stop Matt Taylor's side from attempting to punch above their weights.

Finishing in the top-six at 4/1 odds via bet365 through nfl predictions looks feasible if the Grecians play their cards right, but they will need to continually improve and be very consistent to have a realistic shot at a chance to play Championship football in 2023-24.

Football clubs are making millions of money from betting companies’ sponsorships, but they are asked to gradually remove bookies’ and gambling companies’ logos from their uniforms as there is stronger and stronger pressure for making a clear distinction between sports betting and the sport itself. All sportsbooks, including the best online bookmakers in the UK , are extremely interested in promoting their brand through the live action of football, making their way directly to the intense feelings, positive emotions and excitement of both clubs’ fans and sports’ spectators. But it is...
