It’s been a long and winding road over many, many years but it’s apparently all been leading up to me covering the World Cup for @bbcsport Genuinely living a dream. None of it feels real but I have a nice blend of pride and absolute panic tonight. Never ever give up on yourself. – at Salford, England
Bet his dad Cum On Feel is buzzing, etc

The face of a man who has just worked 342 hours in 35 days with a lottt of overnight shifts and driving 😂 30 live World Cup matches, 98 goals, 37/48 countries covered, one summer I’ll never forget… and two gifts to commemorate it 😍
Wembley writes its own scripts and Jodi Jones smashed it in the lead role on the big stage on Monday. Good of him to chat after, trophy in hand, sorry for getting the bottom lip wobbling @JodsJones but it's such an inspiring story of resilience #PUSB #NCFC

We have this evening been informed that the EFL’s League Arbitration Panel has upheld the sanctions imposed earlier this week.
Somehow I've gone from Ryman League Div 1 South to the Premier League in under nine years, and all without a drop of oil money.
Never give up on yourself, kids!
Thanks to @markstokeswwfc @swmarshall1976 @thetalkofsport without whom I have no idea what I'd be doing with my life!
No, I did not actually wear a little blue tiara for this pic, thanks to those who asked though 😂 👑

13 years of winging it, but still seems to be going ok 🤔 Lovely day at Lord’s for the @ECB_cricket Journalism Awards. Very proud to be part of a small but passionate @BBCSport 🏏 team recognised for ‘outstanding online coverage’… (puns not specifically highlighted though oddly)

Meningitis symptoms can develop quickly, so it’s important to act immediately if you spot them.
More info ➡️ nhs.uk/conditions/meningitis…
ALT Meningitis symptoms. A rash will not always appear. Symptoms of meningitis develop suddenly and can include:
ALT Symptoms of meningitis develop suddenly and can include: a high temperature (fever), being sick, a headache, a rash that does not fade when a glass is rolled over it (but a rash will not always develop), a stiff neck, a dislike of bright lights, drowsiness or unresponsiveness, seizures (fits)
ALT Call 999 or go to your nearest A&E immediately if you think you or someone you look after could have meningitis or sepsis. Trust your instincts. Do not wait for all the symptoms to appear or until a rash develops. Someone with meningitis or sepsis can get a lot worse very quickly.
Another one in the books, and a special one for @TeamGB. #MilanoCortinaOlympics2026 was the 8th Olympics I have covered, my 4th for BBC Radio and has some of my favourite memories of all. One last hit coming at 8.17am on @BBCRadioKent where it all began. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live/b…
