Took over #itfc in a mess down in L1. Brought order, galvanised everyone, worked tirelessly and always with integrity. Delivered 3 promotions in 4 full seasons. Leaves at the top table.

Deserves his break and whatever follows.

Nothing lasts forever, but some memories can never be deleted.

Thank you, Kieran. 💙

@chris_sutton73 @Iandennisbbc @5liveSport Go well, @Iandennisbbc

@NickGodwinsport You mean to say you’re not still carrying a mini disc machine - and an analogue stopwatch for that matter?!

Thank you, Kieran. 💙

@sport_simon 100%. Plenty of articles down the years lamenting the licence fee cost of BBC Sport covering major tournaments abroad. They’re saving a big chunk of money this time around - and still getting criticised.
Nature of the beast is they’re damned if they do, damned if they don’t.

The life-changing work of @MFCFoundation will take centre stage on Saturday ❤️

The Foundation's branding will take pride of place on our shirts after principal partner FDJ United - parent company of the 32Red brand - donated its front-of-shirt sponsorship.

There are a string of once-in-a-lifetime auction prizes - for a magnificent cause.

Word of advice: if you manage to win the day seated next to @Iandennisbbc then do take along some sweets. His second half ⚽️comms are often powered by jelly babies etc🍬

Would you like a behind the scenes tour of the BBC MOTD Studios? Or to sit alongside the brilliant @Iandennisbbc for a commentary?

@mark__heath For Fabio this weekend, I’m using the analogy that he’s 2001 Ipswich and that Parker is 2001 Inter Milan.

So FW needs an Ipswich-Inter Milan first leg performance on Saturday night.
Not the Inter Milan-Ipswich second leg version.

What do you reckon? 😄🥊

[Phil Wye @PhilWye]

A stand-out charismatic man who was a breath of fresh air in F1. Forthright and fun to listen to.
Continued working despite his ailing health and he appealed to men to understand their risk of prostate cancer. He’ll be much missed. RIP Eddie.

[BBC Sport @BBCSport]

Some very sad news to bring you.

Former Formula 1 team owner and television pundit Eddie Jordan has passed away at the age of 76.

He had been battling prostate cancer for the past 12 months.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time.

[Phil Wye @PhilWye]

@seniahyrag Well said, GH.
What a huge privilege it was to spend some time with Denis at Old Trafford when he came along with Mike Summerbee to support our event.
Genuine legend of football, and such a charismatic man.
Thoughts are with his loved ones.

[Prostate Cancer UK @ProstateUK]

We are saddened to read the news that Sir @chrishoy is facing a terminal cancer diagnosis.

Men simply should not be diagnosed with #ProstateCancer at Stage 4.

But sadly, Sir Chris is one of thousands of men in the UK who have received their diagnosis too late.

[Phil Wye @PhilWye]

@tonyjonescomm Tony, naturally the poetic final PL game for you would surely be on May 25th back in East Anglia at Portman Road as ITFC cement their top flight status. Well, here’s hoping. Enjoy your last season on the commentary beat. Brilliant service to the game sir.⚽️👏

[Phil Wye @PhilWye]

Have a super day at Edgbaston @bobwillisfund today in honour of brilliant Bob

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men - let's continue the fight 💪

[Prostate Cancer UK @ProstateUK]

Today we're cheering on our friends over at @bobwillisfund 📣

They're hosting #BlueForBob, at @edgbaston, to remember the legendary Bob Willis who sadly died from #ProstateCancer.

It's a brilliant incentive that raises vital funds and crucial awareness of the disease 💙

[Phil Wye @PhilWye]

Bill was selfless in how kindly he supported @ProstateUK’s work, and made a real impact in helping to improve awareness of the disease among the rugby league 🏉 community. Condolences to the Arthur family.

[Prostate Cancer UK @ProstateUK]

We’re heartbroken to hear that rugby league presenter and commentator, Bill Arthur, has died.

Following his own diagnosis, Bill raised awareness of prostate cancer throughout the rugby league community, recruiting star names and clubs to support and educate his fans.

[The Times and Sunday Times @thetimes]

Thousands of lives could be saved if the NHS overhauled “dangerously outdated” guidelines that stop men getting tested for prostate cancer, landmark research has concluded ⬇️
