A great day in honour of a great man
🩵 A real privilege to attend the inaugural Tony Book Cup golf day at @HighLeghParkGC ⚽️ Big thanks to @LymmMCFC for organising such a fitting tribute to a City legend, and for raising funds for @mancityfpc & @NWAmbulance 👍🏻 And great to see so many ex-players at the event!

Really looking forward to listening to this… #MCFC #FootballFamily
On @LifeGoalsTD former Sun editor @davidyelland, son Max and brother Paul tell me how their love of @mancity reinforces the family ties that have seen them through dark times and relive goals that took City from no-hopers to serial winners #mancity #mcfc theodelaney.com/life-goals-l…

Christmas can be a challenging time for people on the autism spectrum, as well as their loved ones (I’ve been there!) Anything from flashing festive lights to the snap of a Christmas cracker can cause sensory overload Great tips ⬇️ from @Autism. Please share to raise awareness

My lovely nephew Matty is looking for a cross-section of people to complete his Masters’ dissertation questionnaire re: football merchandise He’s be so grateful if you could take a few minutes to oblige (and I’ll get some auntie brownie points) 😏⚽️ mmu.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/for…

A nice celeb-related story. When the late, great Eddie Large heard that @paul_lake was having a really bad time post-injury, back in the 1990s, he sent him some photos (from a holiday in the Lake District) to cheer him up I unearthed the pics today during a clear-out Legend

When Pep Guardiola came to Manchester City in 2016 there was an assumption of greatness Tonight we can truly say that has been achieved I cannot be more proud of this incredible team, both as a fan and as an ex-player Party on, Blues 👕

Can’t quite believe it’s twenty years since Manchester City’s final game at Maine Road (still miss that rickety old stadium) Here’s @Paul_Lake’s memories of the day, as written in #ImNotReallyHere 📖 #mcfc
