Yesterday, I went to Tottenham for the first time in three years. Until now, I hadn’t felt comfortable going because of my balance issues — which, as you can imagine, are especially difficult in a steep stadium surrounded by loud football fans. This time, I used my wheelchair for the first time, and it gave me a glimpse of what life may look like in the future. I was pleasantly surprised by how kind and helpful people were. Some asked me what had happened, and I realised it’s still hard for others to connect the dots since I look fairly “normal” on the outside (little do they know, I’m nuts 🤪).
For now, I’ve chosen to avoid surgery because of the high risks involved, and instead I’m undergoing radiotherapy. Of course, this still carries its own risks — including the possibility of total paralysis in my legs — but it feels like the best option for me. All I can do now is see how things progress once treatment is complete #thfc #nf2

🚨 EXCL: Tottenham reach verbal agreement to sign Andy Robertson, here we go!
Pact expected to be respected and deal to be signed soon despite Juventus proposal to try hijack the deal.
Robertson, wanted by #THFC last January and again now with De Zerbi.
It’s happening. ✅🏴
