⚽️ When 🦮 Sam and I set out to visit all 42 SPFL grounds I never in my wildest dreams imagined that it would lead to me writing a book about it Scottish football has its criticisms, and sometimes justifiably so, but from my own experience the Scottish football fans are the best in the world Thank you to every single SPFL club who welcomed me and Sam with open arms, to all the fans at every club who welcomed us into your ground and thank you to everyone of you who has supported me and Sam’s incredible adventure This book shines a light on how incredibly amazing and positive Scottish football is, which is something we should all be proud of If you haven’t yet done so, you can pre order your copy here 🙏🏻 🔗 amzn.eu/d/ftLmmC3

RIP Leah Harrison 😥 Absolutely devastating news reaching us that 10-year-old Darlington U11s player Leah Harrison tragically lost her life in a mudslide this week while on a school trip Darlington Football Club have issued the following statement. "Leah, who attended Mount Pleasant Primary School in Darlington, was a very popular member of our under 11 girls team, and had many friends at the club. Her coach, John Woolnough, said; “We are devastated to hear of the tragic passing of Leah, who only joined our football family this season but had quickly become a popular member amongst the girls. “She was a joy to coach — always smiling and trying her best — and had shown big improvements during her time with us. “Our thoughts are with her family and friends at this terrible time." As a mark of respect, our Under 11 game this weekend has been postponed, while all other games involving our youth teams will hold a minute’s silence before kick off. Everyone at the club would like to pass on our very sincere condolences to Leah’s family, friends and team mates."
