With tonight’s match between @StockportCounty and @LCFC being close to my ❤️. I wrote a piece about the last time the 2 sides met back in 2009 where I lined up for tonight’s home side. ‘A Tale Of Two Football Clubs’ #football #nostalgia https://t.co/iSd11lrY5u

Sorry to see this 😢. An absolute gent. RIP Norman 🔵⚪️

[Stockport County @StockportCounty]

Stockport County is sad to announce that our former Chairman Norman Beverley has passed away suddenly at the age of 69.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this incredibly difficult time. Rest in peace, Norman. 💙

Vardy’s movement in the box for Leicester’s 2nd was an absolute joy 👏🏻👏🏻 #LEELEI

Motivational slogans are useless without action to back them up. Wrote a piece discussing what working hard in football actually means and why it’s so cherished in the game. Have a read and feel free to share or comment https://t.co/iSd11lrY5u

[Leon McSweeney @LeonMcSweeney]

If you’ve done a pre-season then you’ll know the importance of small sided games to get you through the graft or at least disguise it. Wrote a piece if you fancy a read👇👇⚽️⚽️

Blast from the past @Windegaard 😂👌🏻....the line “Just don’t expect him to get a round in” has done it for me🤣🤣. What a pot shot 👏🏻👏🏻

Great feeling to be back at Pre Season training today so wrote a quick blog “Pre-season: Love it or hate it?”. Hope it stirs up some good memories 🙌🏻🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️💨💨⚽️⚽️https://t.co/EB2VxIiL8L

[Leon McSweeney @LeonMcSweeney]

Nice to be back 🙌🏻....not the usual pre season we come to expect but can’t beat the sun shining, pitches looking immaculate and the fear in player’s eyes as they wonder what’s in store 🏃‍♂️💨⚽️⚽️

[Leon McSweeney @LeonMcSweeney]

@coachjimsmith1 😂😂 I’d have to agree - was capable of all sorts of magickry with no crowd 😜
