4 years ago today, I got to meet this absolutely legend… magic, on & off the pitch 🙌

Not only did he let us see his play off winners medal & buy the whole pub a drink. He brought food to my house & made a very generous donation to a fundraiser I put on for the homeless 🙏

What a player too, what a guy ⭐️ #NFFC

There definitely isn’t anyone, like Joe Lolley. Good luck on your next move mate 💪

[Des Oldham @desoldham]

Generational 👌

… they’ll never understand how much one game a weekend meant! You knew so much more… 🤷🏻‍♂️

Buzzing to kick off my collaboration with @kitsoc6 ⚽️👕🔥

Started things the right way by ordering these 3 iconic retro beauties. Top-quality shirts, great service, and super-fast delivery👌

Safe to say they're joining a collection that's definitely bigger than I'd like to admit 😜

If you're into classic football shirts, give them a follow and check out https://t.co/Owbbgx1ozD 👀

Can anyone guess my all-time favourite non-#NFFC player? 🤔

*Hint: He never played for Rangers 😉

Thank you to everyone who has supported my #NFFC content throughout the season ❤️

A surprise opportunity came my way a few years ago, kindly passed on by a friend who believed I could do what was being asked. It gave me the chance to try something different.

I enjoyed it so much that I decided to carry on, looking to improve and grow in confidence week by week. Like most things in life, I’m the first to admit I’m no natural.

What I am, though, is comfortable getting uncomfortable. If you’ve ever seen me trying to put together a 90-second video, you’ll know I work bloody hard.

Putting your face online, doing something for yourself and having an opinion on football seems to really get under the skin of trolls, haters and, at times, even people you thought were on your side 🙄

I’ve had it all - people mocking me at matches, questioning my motives and personality, even making nasty comments about my wife. Thankfully, she’s fully supportive and every bit as strong and stubborn as I am.

We don’t give a shit, and we certainly don’t take it to heart. More importantly, thanks for the view or comment - it helps far more than it hinders.

The reality is that I’m just having fun. I don’t do it to compete with more established or polished content creators. I’m rough around the edges, I wish I’d started years ago and learned how to make it pay.

There was never a master plan or end goal when I made this part of my matchday experience. What never ceases to amaze me is how supportive people with good intentions have been.

I’ve met so many good people, many of whom I now consider real friends. Every like, comment, repost, conversation online or in person is still incredibly humbling. It means a lot to a not so little boy living his unfulfilled dream.

Once again, my sincere thanks for all the love and support. I’ll be back next season doing exactly the same - and more. This year, I took the trip I always wanted to make someday - I’ll have to fill that void somehow 🤷🏻‍♂️

All I want to do is talk about Forest and football. Not speculate or get caught up in the nonsense that surrounds it. I love the game itself - the tactics, the formations, the form.

Hopefully, like the team, I can continue to put in some top-level performances, with plenty of raw emotion, passion and pragmatism along the way.

You Reds 🙌

[Des Oldham @desoldham]

@nedski67 Thanks for the message mate. You reds 💪

Was wondering where he was going, that would be so attractive after what’s he’s done at Bournemouth… but TBH you don’t turn down #ACMilan

🔴⚫️ again! Watch this space….

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

Bournemouth sold *check notes* Zabarnyi for £57m, Huijsen £50m, Kerkez £40m, Ouattara £45m and Semenyo for £65m in January for a very grand total of £257m *checks maths. not a strength*. Bournemouth continued playing attractive, winning football, ending the season unbeaten in 18, sixth in the table and qualified for Europe for the first time ever in their 127 years.

Iraola has done a magnificent job – and so has Bournemouth’s recruitment department. Kroupi and Scott the latest gems being polished. Senesi, a £12m signing from Feyenoord four years ago, leaves a free agent to Spurs with plenty of good wishes following his fine defensive service over 128 games. Bournemouth get good value out of players and/or good value for them.

Well-run club. Pity that Iraola is leaving and missing out on the European adventure that he helped secure. Leaves team in good shape for incoming Rose. Coaches and players...it's all in the succession planning. #AFCB
