MASSIVE NEWS! So today begins the first step on a journey that has taken nearly 40 years. Back in the late 80's my Dad wrote a book that due to unforeseen family circumstances had to be put on hold. In the 90’s it was given to me to read, I loved it and it’s basically been with me ever since. 18 months ago my Mum received some devastating medical news which has fundamentally changed her, my Dad’s and our family’s lives. Since then I've made it my mission to try and do something big to help them. So this past year I've dug out the old manuscript, given it a fresh coat of paint, enlisted the amazing @yoniweisberg for cover art and my sister @Lauren91_x to proof read and TODAY we are ready to launch my Dad's book: The Man Who Stole The World Cup. 🎉📚
It's a brilliant, fun, adventure, football/time travel story set in 1986 starring two kids from Liverpool, (Kenny Dalglish-mad Jo and Comic book loving Bluenose Andy), who get pulled into the conspiracy to steal the Jules Rimet World Cup Trophy in 1966.
Getting this book out in the world, and allowing my Dad the opportunity to follow his dream has been one of my biggest ambitions, so today is HUGE! To help make it a reality we've launched a Kickstarter page where you can pre-order Limited Edition, Hardback copies of the book. Any help or support, either by buying a copy or helping us spread the word would be great appreciated!

Nottingham Forest has today submitted a formal request to the PGMOL to release into the public domain the audio recordings between officials during yesterday’s match against Everton at Goodison Park.
The club has requested this be shared for three key match incidents - Ashley Young’s challenge on Giovanni Reyna (24th minute), Ashley Young’s handball (44th minute) and Ashley Young’s challenge on Callum Hudson-Odoi (56th minute).
We firmly advocate for the broader football community and supporters to have access to the audio and transcript for full transparency, ensuring the integrity of our sport is upheld.
Wasn’t old enough to appreciate this masterclass in real time but everytime I watch the tapes back it gets more impressive, this guy quite literally played in every position necessary and ran himself into the ground for that champions league, a leader of men.
