Dear football,
Today, I want to share with you that this season will be my last as a professional footballer. After so many years living my dream, I feel it’s time to start a new chapter in my life.
Being honest, even though I have been preparing myself for this moment, I found it hard to write this letter. After 20 seasons , many people have played an important role in my career.
When I first kicked a ball as a child in Pamplona with my schoolmates, I never imagined the amazing journey ahead. I’m grateful for every moment: the wins, the tough losses, the challenges, and most of all, the people I’ve met and the friendships I’ve made along the way.
To my teammates, coaches, and every staff member at all the clubs I’ve been lucky to be part of, thank you for helping me grow as a person and a player every day. Wearing the shirts of CA Osasuna, Olympique Marseille, Chelsea FC, Atlético de Madrid, Sevilla FC, and representing my country at the biggest stages has been a true privilege. Every moment has meant so much to me…
@LeeHAuthor I don’t think I owned the video, more likely borrowed from one of my mates but definitely remember the case and watching it many years ago 🙈
@ChelseaFC Absolute circus of a club with a ridiculously inept project, ownership changed what worked previously and destroyed the serial winning mentality in pursuit of a trading young players fantasy. Rotten club from top to bottom under this regime nothing will change whoever the manager
I’m just going to say it - and yeah, plenty won’t like it - but the excitement around the Oasis reunion isn’t just about the tunes. It’s about Britain. About a time when things still sort of made sense. When the country felt more grounded, more stable, less like it was spiralling into some third-world, open borders clusterfuck. The music matters, of course... but so does the memory of a nation that hadn’t completely lost the plot.

The fathers of two of the young girls murdered in the Southport massacre have just completed the London marathon in memory of their daughters. I am truly in awe of these brave men - Sergio Aguiar (father of Alice) and David Stancombe (father of Elsie).
Yesterday afternoon my wife took the twins out with her sisters for a meal in Archway, North London whilst I took Henry to to the pub with our friends. My daughter Darla had a fit (febrile convulsion) whilst they was walking towards the restaurant on the pavement outside Home Bargains. A young couple helped my wife and her sister. And took them to whittington hospital straight away in their car. My wife didn’t get a chance to say thank you properly as she run in whilst my baby still having a fit. Darla is now stable and doing well and back home. But I really want to thank this couple. They are absolute Legends and hero’s. Can you all please help me find this lovely young couple who helped my family. I want to thank them and treat them as they took Sinéad and baby Darla to the hospital very quickly and if they wasn’t there it could have been another story. Darla is her happy little self this morning and back to normal. Thanks you every one and happy Sunday. Now both twins have had a febrile convulsion, they are extremely scary. Thank you to the wonderful doctors, nurses and staff at Whittington Hospital. If you know this couple please can you give me their number or email. Thank you. Please share or rt. Bosh❤️
A message for people who watch television "supporting" Premier League clubs whilst refusing to go along and actively support their local teams.
You are missing out on a great matchday buzz & camaraderie embracing affordable football at clubs representing your local community.
Managed to get down to watch @stowtownfc this afternoon. Good game to watch with stow getting a well earned point! Even managed to get both my girls along to watch for the first time
This is absolutely bang on from @KieranMaguire
