How it started…
How it’s going….

Thanks for all the support which made this possible. We continue…

[Alex Hoad @AlexHoadSport]

2025-26 you’ve been so special. Completed the full set for @BBCSport live coverage of Premier Lg, Champo, L1, L2, NL, FAC, LC, EFLT, plus Champions Lg, Europa Lg, Conference Lg and UWCL + WSL. Lucky and proud. Time for a quick breather as there’s a World Cup coming y’know… 👀

Wembley writes its own scripts and Jodi Jones smashed it in the lead role on the big stage on Monday. Good of him to chat after, trophy in hand, sorry for getting the bottom lip wobbling @JodsJones but it's such an inspiring story of resilience #PUSB #NCFC

We have this evening been informed that the EFL’s League Arbitration Panel has upheld the sanctions imposed earlier this week.

Somehow I've gone from Ryman League Div 1 South to the Premier League in under nine years, and all without a drop of oil money.
Never give up on yourself, kids!
Thanks to @markstokeswwfc @swmarshall1976 @thetalkofsport without whom I have no idea what I'd be doing with my life!

No, I did not actually wear a little blue tiara for this pic, thanks to those who asked though 😂 👑

13 years of winging it, but still seems to be going ok 🤔 Lovely day at Lord’s for the @ECB_cricket Journalism Awards. Very proud to be part of a small but passionate @BBCSport 🏏 team recognised for ‘outstanding online coverage’… (puns not specifically highlighted though oddly)

Nothing beats a BBC Sport Olympics montage.

[Alex Hoad @AlexHoadSport]

Another one in the books, and a special one for @TeamGB. #MilanoCortinaOlympics2026 was the 8th Olympics I have covered, my 4th for BBC Radio and has some of my favourite memories of all. One last hit coming at 8.17am on @BBCRadioKent where it all began. https://t.co/ch1wB8ApIB
