I must confess to being a bit emotional this morning at the news of a knighthood for Kevin Sinfield.
I’ve always called him ‘Sir Kev’ and it’s hard to think of a man more deserving. He showed us all what it is to be a friend. What it means to step up when people need you and he did it all for his mate ❤️
After he carried Rob across the line in the Leeds marathon someone sent me this poem anonymously and I kept it on my phone. They called it ‘Arise Sir Kev’…
When shadows gathered, and hearts would break
Kev knew it was time to take…
One step, another, through wind and rain,
Carrying hope, despite the pain.
He never stopped, mile after mile,
Driven by loyalty, strength… a smile.
For Rob, his friend, he aim was true
Showing us all, what friendship can do.
Not measured in trophies, applause, or fame…
But turning up, again and again.
And in every mile he chose to run,
He showed us how friendship is truly done.
For every lung-bursting run, every tackle, every word of leadership, and the unmatched loyalty you have shown this club for over a decade and a half, you gave us your prime, you protected us in our darkest hours, and you showed us what true leadership looks like. You will forever be sixty grand well spent. Thank you, Captain 🔵
@KeyworkerMan@lukejcr Hilarious. Is this the same reform who thought Liz Truss budget was great, Brexit wouldn't f*** the economy and who are increasing council tax everywhere?? 😂
🔵⚪️🔵 OUR FIRST HOME GAME 🔵⚪️🔵
Over the summer we have been working with the club regarding a flag display for our first ever competitive game at our new home vs Brighton on Sunday.
We both felt it was important to make it feel like ‘Home’ for the players and manger when they first walk out the tunnel from day one & give them a familiar kind of sight that they have become used to over the past few seasons.
In honour of this commemorative occasion, the club are providing flags on every home seat in the stadium. These flags will make up 3 tifo displays in the South, East and North stands of the ground and also flags in the West Stand. Both ourselves and the club are asking all fans to wave their flags at the start of the siren until after the players line up so the display is clear.
These flags are from the club as a keep sake/momento from the game and occasion which fans can take home.
UP THE TOFFEES 🔵⚪️🔵⚪️🔵⚪️🔵
@GianlucaChianti @grandoldteam@Thebluedoodler@tomchitty Excellent stuff as ever. Especially the Leeds analogies. A headlock considered as foreplay being my favourite 😂
