SHERGAR: THE RACEHORSE AND THE IRA will be featured on Channel 4 on Sat 30 May at 8pm, repeated on Mon 1 June at 10pm. Last year I was asked to return to Belfast to retrace my steps. This new documentary is a fascinating insight that shines new light on the heartless and senseless kidnapping of the most famous of Derby-winning horses.
Shane Long and Jobi McAnuff booked our first trip to the New Wembley 15 years ago as we breezed past Cardiff City in the Welsh capital!😍
Who was there for that special night?🙋
This is the final photographs of Phillip Herron 34, crying in his car, literally minutes before taking his own life.
He was a single Dad with three kids, struggling with crushing debt of over £20,000 and was desperately waiting for a Payday loan he'd applied for. But it was paid in arrears, with a 5 week wait time. That wait drove him even deeper into debt, and when he died he had £4.61 in his bank account and clearly couldn't see any other way out.
Like a lot of people, especially men, he kept all of this to himself, nobody else knew how bad things were getting. This poor man even had to tell his children that Santa Claus wouldn’t come this year, and in his suicide note he wrote that they'd be better off if he wasn't around any more.
And now he isn't.
We need to talk more. We need to be kinder. And we need to be a country that helps each other when we need it the most.
It’s hard to put into words what this club means to me. In just two years at Swansea, I’ve felt more and more at home with every moment. The support you give us in every single game is incredible, and I’m truly grateful for it. Thank you all and see you soon! ❤️🦢
