There are people who influence your life & whose influence transcends your career. I owe my "Football Dads" (Nige, Shakey & Walshy) everything & I will miss Shakey terribly. His humility, level-headedness & humour were unrivalled & he was loved by all. Devastated by the news. RIP
It was with heavy hearts that Leicester City Football Club learned of the passing of a beloved member of our family, Craig Shakespeare, at the age of 60.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Arise, Sir Kevin 🌹
Sir Kevin Sinfield received his knighthood at Windsor Castle today for his incredible MND fundraising efforts. So far, he has raised over £13 million for various MND charities in memory of his former @leedsrhinos teammate and close friend Rob Burrow.
The England Men assistant coach recently completed his last #7in7 challenge, running seven ultramarathons in seven days and ultimately delivering the match ball to the @SuperLeague Grand Final at Old Trafford on Saturday. This effort alone raised over £1 million.
7 runs. 7 days. Millions raised for charity and every step of the way he’s carrying a friendship, a promise and hope for families facing MND.
Watching Super Kevin Sinfield go again and again this week has been amazing.
His friendship with Rob Burrow has moved so many of us and through these extraordinary challenges he reminds us about what it means to keep turning up.
If you can, please donate. Every pound makes a difference https://t.co/u4gFtYeETf

@greggevans40 Not to mention the longevity of Matty Cash who was also signed in that window Gregg & has proven himself at Champions League level. All three went onto be senior internationals when they were previously not. A window for the ages...
Archie Goodburn has made an emotional plea to the prime minister.
The Scottish 50m breaststroke record holder was diagnosed with brain cancer two years ago.
A powerful message from a powerful athlete, living with the unimaginable.
Archie Goodburn finished seventh in the Men’s 50m Breaststroke final at Glasgow 2026, two years after being told he has incurable brain cancer.

Memorable for 2 reasons; a stadium lacking a roof due to storm damage & a brave, aggressive CB playing with composure beyond his years & helping his side achieve a famous result.
Every scouting relationship with a player & timeline is different...
Welcome JP! 🇳🇱 #COYS
I must confess to being a bit emotional this morning at the news of a knighthood for Kevin Sinfield.
I’ve always called him ‘Sir Kev’ and it’s hard to think of a man more deserving. He showed us all what it is to be a friend. What it means to step up when people need you and he did it all for his mate ❤️
After he carried Rob across the line in the Leeds marathon someone sent me this poem anonymously and I kept it on my phone. They called it ‘Arise Sir Kev’…
When shadows gathered, and hearts would break
Kev knew it was time to take…
One step, another, through wind and rain,
Carrying hope, despite the pain.
He never stopped, mile after mile,
Driven by loyalty, strength… a smile.
For Rob, his friend, he aim was true
Showing us all, what friendship can do.
Not measured in trophies, applause, or fame…
But turning up, again and again.
And in every mile he chose to run,
He showed us how friendship is truly done.
