…You’ll have to get used to these posts! We lost my amazing sister Jill to her epilepsy and I’m running the 2027 London Marathon for @epilepsysociety. I’m a sufferer myself of this dreadful disease, if you can spare a couple of quid it’d mean the world 💜 2027tcslondonmarathon.enthus…

📻 Back to @5liveSport next Sunday after a bit of a break following the arrival of our little girl Leah Jill Crossman. She won’t be popping up on social media because I wouldn’t be able to cope with anybody else getting any attention (obviously). 📻
Congrats to everybody involved in the @Boro 150 celebrations over the last few days. Been enjoying the content from afar and the game today was absolutely mint! 👏

Teesside has long experience of being talked down. The place once stood for steel, iron, coal — industry. Over 40 years that status has disappeared with the industries themselves. Teesside instead saw itself as half-forgotten by government, then the butt of jokes and disparaging coverage. Recent events have only reinforced an impression of a beaten, wild area.
But as a name with national recognition, what has endured is Middlesbrough FC. There was a palpable sense on Saturday that, but for Boro’s late winner against Norwich, the mood across the region would have plummeted. It can sound overblown, but what you saw with Ashley Phillips’ 91st-minute winner was just how much Teesside hope, self-esteem and identity are invested in the football club.
There are no claims that football means more on Teesside, just that, as @mwalker2771 writes, at a time like this its presence is enhanced.

Don’t know what the world record is for a sell on, but I suspect Middlesbrough are about to break it.

Why do we have such big mic muffs at Wimbledon? 🎙️🎾
We've been reading your comments... 👀🫵
And @K_CroydenSmith has the answers 💬

Yikes, what was that about 100 yards from goal where the foul took place? That’s as bad an advert for VAR as you can have, technically it’s the right call and yet in reality it’s absolutely mad.

Slowly realising that saying you’ll run the London Marathon means that you actually have to run the London marathon 😬
Anyway if you fancy sponsoring me, running in memory of my sister and in absolute defiance of our shared disease, then here’s a link!

‘Can they win it before they win it on penalties?’ - that, @Guymowbray, was excellent. Chapeau.
Berhalter is gonna have some suitors this summer. Player.
"It's not a bad time to be Sebastian Berhalter."
The American midfielder will set his sights abroad after the World Cup according to @tombogert 👀🌍
A great day of mostly explaining cricket to @MicahRichards x
Something tells us @MicahRichards and @Steve_Crossman enjoyed Ben Stokes completing a historic 359 run chase... 😆

A huge shout to producer @ElliottBinks for making this happen, a proper piece of long term contact building to deliver a truly brilliant guest. This stuff doesn’t just happen! 👏

So, I had a seizure whilst on air in Mexico not long after arriving at the World Cup. I stuck it out, inspired by my sister who never let her epilepsy stop her. It’s been tough BUT I’ve been surrounded by amazing @5liveSport friends. (Yes this is another sponsorship plea 😂 ⬇️)
