We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of the inspirational fundraiser, Claire Lomas MBE.

Claire made history as the first person in the UK to walk with a bionic ReWalk suit, inspiring runners across the UK and beyond.

Team @MarkelIntl & @MarkelUK soaking up the incredible atmosphere at @Insurance_Post #bia2024 awards! Best of luck to all the finalists!

OTD in 2019, @GlenTaylor23 changed the course of County history forever. His 96th minute goal for Spennymoor placed the title firmly in County's hands as we ran out comfortable 2-0 winners against Curzon 🙌

A huge moment, one that will never be forgotten! 💙🎩

There’ll be more to come but bloody hell. When your manager comes over asking for your boy and takes him to dance with the champions.

Dave Challinor you have created something so, so special.

@ChallinorKate please give the main man a squeeze from Team Thompson. 💙

Saturday. Party time. See you there.

Olé Olé. 🎩🏆

Dave Challinor thanks @countythomo in his club interview, noting he had spoken to Dave about son George and got hold of the flag at FT.

DC says he spoke to the players about it and "although it can't undo the grief, we hope it's something for the family from us" #stockportcounty

On this day in 2002, a small team from Manchester was soundly beaten by @CarltonPalmer's MIGHTY COUNTY at EP 🎩

Two late goals from John Hardiker was enough for the 3pts that took County up to 24th in the table 🫠😂

[Chris Eaton @chris_eaton_]

The most important County managerial appointment of all-time. 8-years ago today, we changed the course of history for good. Without this man, the club as it is today doesn't exist.

Here's to you @james16gannon, Stockport loves you more than you will know 🎶🎩

Terry Fox was a cancer patient who ran 5,373 km across Canada in just 143 days before he died.

Terry thrilled the entire country. His goal was to receive one Canadian dollar for every Canadian in the population (then 24 million people), and he achieved his goal by raising 24.17 million Canadian dollars in February 1981.

A year after Terry Fox's death, the Terry Fox Foundation was created, which promotes amateur races across Canada and in several countries to support the fight against cancer.

According to the Terry Fox Foundation, more than C$715 million has already been raised for cancer research on Terry Fox's behalf.

Word of the Day (because it’s about time) is ‘respair’, from the 16th century. It means fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. One of too many lost positives we could do with bringing back.

Wishing everyone a gruntled, gormful, ruthful and feckful New Year, full of respair.

How about this for a strike from Aston Villa loanee Louie Barry 👏🙌
