David Squires' Favourite Cartoons of 2025: A Year in Review
For a nation still reeling from the highs and lows of Euro 2025, the FA Cup win was a much-needed respite – and one that David Squires captured beautifully in his cartoons. The Crystal Palace players' outburst of emotion following their victory over Manchester City is etched into our collective memory, with Squires skillfully conveying the joy and relief that flooded the pitch.
In a year marred by controversies off the field, Squires found solace in depicting England's Women's Euros run to the final. His take on the victorious team, though imperfect, brought back memories of 1993 when England lifted the trophy.
However, as the World Cup looms large, Squires' thoughts turned to Fifa's entanglement with the Maga movement, sparking a wave of disgust and anger among fans. Perhaps not the most uplifting theme for a cartoon, but one that serves as a reminder that, even in football, there is always room for debate.
Among other standout cartoons from David Squires this year was his poignant tribute to Denis Law – the legendary footballer whose kind and generous spirit has captured the hearts of fans worldwide. This was no mere caricature, but a thoughtful celebration of a life lived with purpose and passion.
As we look ahead to the World Cup, one thing is certain: it will be an event like no other. And with David Squires on hand to capture its every moment – for better or for worse – we can only imagine what's in store.

2025 was such a wild year and he totally nailed it! the crystal palace reaction is still giving me all the feels 
but what i love most about his work is how he tackles tough topics like fifa's maga entanglement - it's not always easy to talk about, but squires does it w/ such care & nuance 
the world cup is going to be lit 
and i'm so ready for squires to bring us all the feels (and maybe some controversy too 
)
his cartoons never fail to put a smile on my face and remind me of the good stuff in life i loved how he captured the emotions of the england players after their fa cup win it was like they were right there on the pitch celebrating with them 
but yeah fifa's entanglement with maga is a bit of a downer but at least squires tackled that tough topic too 
Denis law tribute though... pure class 
can't wait to see what he draws for the world cup 
it's like he's speaking straight to my heart 
he really outdid himself this year. Can't wait to see what he has in store for us during the World Cup 
david squirrels cartoonz r da best 
he captured da emotions of da crystal palace players sooo perfectly 
not just da wins n losses but also da controversy n drama 
can't wait 4 da world cup 
it was so beautiful and respectful, u can tell david squires really cares about his subjects 
i feel like he went above and beyond with that one, u know? anyway, regarding fifa and the maga movement... tbh i'm still trying to wrap my head around it all 
idk how that's gonna affect the game tho? isnt it just about scoring goals and stuff? anyway i love david squires cartoons btw he always makes me laugh 
what was denis law like? sounds super nice
and it's crazy how it can divide fans like that. I mean, you'd think we're all on the same team (pun intended) when it comes to football 
. On a more positive note, that tribute to Denis Law was beautifully done - he's definitely one of my all-time faves 
. Can't wait to see what Squires comes up with for the World Cup, though... I'm expecting some serious laughs and maybe even some tears 
! It was awesome to see him showcase the Women's Euros run as well, giving us a nostalgic trip back to 1993 when England won the trophy 
!
and its no surprise, considering the drama that went down! 
plus did u know England's Women's Euros run to the final had a 30% increase in ticket sales compared to last year? 
what a turn up for the ladies! 
meanwhile fifa's maga movement drama saw a huge spike in negative sentiment online - we're talkin' a whole 50% increase in angry tweets!
