Good player, especially for Bielsa, and a great human being, always a joy to interview, thoughtful and funny. All the best to Patrick Bamford in his next adventure. #LUFC

Last year our .@BBCPanorama film examined concerns about Walleys Quarry. Today .@EnvAgency issued a closure notice saying "We have concluded that management of Walleys Quarry is poor and that further operation of the site may result in significant long-term pollution."

I have just seen the devastating news about Sol Bamba. Just one of the nicest men I have ever met. He was a big supporter of my prostate cancer walks and never had a smile far from his face. My heart goes out to family and friends .
