🩵 So thrilled to be working with @mancityfpc, alongside the brilliantly supportive @ManCity.

⚽️ I spent my twenties creating content at #mcfc and it’s a privilege to be doing the same for the Blues’ Former Players’ Club.

👕 So many plans afoot…onwards and upwards!

🩵 A real privilege to attend the inaugural Tony Book Cup golf day at @HighLeghParkGC

⚽️ Big thanks to @LymmMCFC for organising such a fitting tribute to a City legend, and for raising funds for @mancityfpc & @NWAmbulance

👍🏻 And great to see so many ex-players at the event!

A young deer has appeared in our back garden in urban Stockport 🥺

Goodness knows how the poor thing got here 🦌

The RSPCA is on its way soon, hopefully…🤞🏼

Christmas can be a challenging time for people on the autism spectrum, as well as their loved ones (I’ve been there!)

Anything from flashing festive lights to the snap of a Christmas cracker can cause sensory overload

Great tips ⬇️ from @Autism. Please share to raise awareness

@Joanne_Lake @Paul_Lake Hope you’re well. Sunday’s CFC-MCFC matchday programme will have a long read about great-uncle George for Remembrance

[Paul Lake @Paul_Lake]

@lipmarty75 @RickGlanvill Yes it is

[Paul Lake @Paul_Lake]

Remembering my great-uncle George Lake, ex-Chelsea FC player who died in France, five days before the #WW1 Armistice

100s of professional footballers were killed in the Great War

George is featured in Chelsea’s match programme today (thanks @RickGlanvill)

[Paul Lake @Paul_Lake]

@RickGlanvill @Joanne_Lake On behalf of the Lake family, thank you very much for this, Rick

[Paul Lake @Paul_Lake]

We believe great-uncle George may have played for Manchester City FC reserves before he was transferred to Chelsea

I discovered his story only by chance, while watching a special Remembrance edition of @BBCMOTD

Thanks for the good wishes. 55 not out. Great to have derby day on my birthday weekend

Have a very Happy Birthday, @Paul_Lake! 🙌🩵

My lovely nephew Matty is looking for a cross-section of people to complete his Masters’ dissertation questionnaire re: football merchandise

He’s be so grateful if you could take a few minutes to oblige (and I’ll get some auntie brownie points) 😏⚽️

A nice celeb-related story. When the late, great Eddie Large heard that @paul_lake was having a really bad time post-injury, back in the 1990s, he sent him some photos (from a holiday in the Lake District) to cheer him up

I unearthed the pics today during a clear-out

Legend

[Paul Lake @Paul_Lake]

When Pep Guardiola came to Manchester City in 2016 there was an assumption of greatness

Tonight we can truly say that has been achieved

I cannot be more proud of this incredible team, both as a fan and as an ex-player

Party on, Blues 👕

[Jo Lake 📚⚽️🧘🏼🌳✍🏻 🎸🐈 @Joanne_Lake]

Come on you Blues. The Lakes send you good vibes… 🩵
