@leroydalegend @SeanFallonCelt Thanks a lot for getting in touch, Paul. Much appreciated. Really glad to read that you enjoyed the book. As you say, Sean was an amazing man. An example to us all in so many respects.

Thanks again!

After 8 years out, the car crash, the abuse, Sinead Farrelly was the individual story of the Women's World Cup.

I'd hoped to hear that she loved every minute. Ended up in awe at the courage she showed (again) in revealing that it led to her lowest point.

@TheSFMonitor @Stephen4_2 Good spot, John. Will have been for the weekly 'big interview' we did for the Celtic View in those days. We'd get the SNS guys in to photograph the subject where possible, and players tended to be reluctant to venture too far 🙂

Ending up in frame definitely a rookie error!

[Clydebank FC @clydebankfc]

Earlier this year, Clydebank defender Jamie Darroch’s life was directly impacted by suicide.

This World Suicide Prevention Week, JD opens up on his experience in the hope other families don’t have to go through something similar.

This is his story.

Great night in Auckland. New Zealand win their first #fifawwc match at the 16th time of asking, and do it by outclassing and outfighting Graham Hansen, Hegerberg and former champions Norway. Mixed zone afterwards a joy.

Perfect start to what should be a great tournament.

@Pearse1996 Cheers mate! Hope you're doing well there.

Great to be in Sydney and see genuine excitement about the fast-approaching #FIFAWWC

Fair to say that Fox have nabbed the pick of the broadcasting spots.

@rossidom86 @paulsully1967 @Simpsons_tweets Never the best two for me. Far better episodes knocked out en route.

@DamienWhelan8 Hi Damien. I really appreciate that. Very kind of you to get in touch.

"Emotional glue" a terrific description of Sean too. He really was a gem of a man.

Many thanks again.

@Kenny_Millar @ConnorJDMcCord Love this, Kenny. Kudos to everyone involved 👏

[Kenny Millar @Kenny_Millar]

Alexis is one special wee girl.

It was a privilege to help tell her story - from Hampden to Helensburgh via London - and we are very lucky to have @ConnorJDMcCord behind the camera/edit.

The power of football, eh?

At Al Thumama Stadium to see CCV start a huge World Cup game for USA.

Quite an atmosphere for this one.

@BBC_Mani I’m so sorry to read this, Mani. There is nothing else like WF out there. You, and the great stories you tell, will be a huge loss to the BBC and listeners like me.

[FIFA Women's World Cup @FIFAWWC]

🗣 "The World Cup is definitely the goal. That’s kind of the missing piece."

🇨🇦 One of the game’s all-time greats wasn't ready to bid farewell as @sincy12 has her sights set on competing in a sixth #FIFAWWC with @CanadaSoccerEN

[Stephen Sullivan @SullivanSK]

Here's the first of them. @HeatherOReilly speaking with typical passion about why she has come out of retirement and moved across the Atlantic to play for @shelsfc in the #UWCL.

Love her mindset. Thanks to the one and only @BBC_Mani for setting this up.

Really enjoyable Zoom chats yesterday with a couple of bona fide legends. Just the 546 caps and 4 Olympic golds between them.

Heather O’Reilly is out of retirement after 2.5 years, while Christine Sinclair is sticking around for a 6th #FIFAWWC. Interviews coming soon on FIFA+.

@QHayden06 Superb Hayden 👏 Looking forward to watching you in a game there. @paulsully1967, let’s keep an eye on fixtures.

[Stephen Sullivan @SullivanSK]

@jamesceltic2 Surprisingly so! 👍

West Highland Way at Glencoe.

Scotland looking moody and magnificent.
