I must confess to being a bit emotional this morning at the news of a knighthood for Kevin Sinfield.
Iโve always called him โSir Kevโ and itโs 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 โค๏ธ
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 โArise Sir Kevโโฆ
When shadows gathered, and hearts would break
Kev knew it was time to takeโฆ
One step, another, through wind and rain,
Carrying hope, despite the pain.
He never stopped, mile after mile,
Driven by loyalty, strengthโฆ a smile.
For Rob, his friend, he aim was true
Showing us all, what friendship can do.
Not measured in trophies, applause, or fameโฆ
But turning up, again and again.
And in every mile he chose to run,
He showed us how friendship is truly done.
Arsenal have blood on their hands for keeping him at the club despite knowing about the allegations. One of the worst institutions in English football.
Seems bonkers to me that after this super enterprising ride at Epsom on Saturday, @Laurapearson_ only has ONE booked ride over the next week.
Someone give her a chance at Royal Ascot. She has the talent.
The fact Madueke and Saka played for the team that won the league suggests just how absolutely rubbish modern day football is
Both absolutely bang average๐
90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18.
Never forget that they paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We live our lives the way we do because of them.
Firstly, our proper name is Tottenham, not Spurs
And secondly, if youโre going to call us Spurs, why are #THFC below Sunderland when P comes before U in the alphabetโฆ๐คทโโ๏ธ
