Gutted about this. John was one of the first coaches i dealt with way back in my radio days. The nicest guy with a wicked laugh. After Sheffield Eagles' Wembley win in 98, he insisted we joined the team at the after-party. Wonderful memories. Thoughts with his family and friends.
Former rugby league player and coach John Kear has died at the age of 71.
Kear, one of the sport's most respected figures, passed away on Sunday while travelling back from the Challenge Cup final.
@TheSincilBanker Very kind. Lucky enough to call some memorable moments, Cardiff away, Alfie Lloyd v Stockport, Towler's late leveller at Hudds, Friday's late winner and then today. I hope you're at least several beers deep by now 😉
Story of the season & manager of the season for me. Loved covering some of their games. A club that seems to be getting it right on and off the pitch. ⬆️
BREAKING: The CAF Appeal Board announced that Senegal has been declared to have forfeited the AFCON final and Morocco is now the winner of the tournament.
That was a cracking cup tie at Bramall Lane today. Mansfield deservedly through and another performance from Rhys Oates that convinces me he's too good for L1 level. Could easily do a job in the Championship.
