Wonderful, lovely tribute to a wonderful, lovely man. JC was great company and a one off. I recall his one bar electric fire he took to Birmingham City’s press box (pre health and safety). Everybody was laughing but he had the last laugh because we were freezing. God bless JC

We are heartbroken to share the news of the passing of John Curtis, our legendary Club Reporter, lifelong Pears supporter, and the man whose words brought Worcestershire cricket to life for decades.
John’s dedication, warmth, and love for the Club touched everyone who knew him. His stories will echo at New Road forever.
💚 Rest easy, JC.

So sad to read this. Kath was such a welcoming friendly face at Carrington and Old Trafford. A lovely lady.
I'm gonna miss you so much, thanks for being you, for always looking after me and not least for opening Old Trafford up when I, as a young man unannounced came in to your reception, asking if it was possible to see the pitch for just one minute. You had no idea who I was, no idea that I one day would be playing for your beloved team, but you got the gate opened and I got my first glimpse at the most beautiful football stadium in the world. At the time I didn't know that I would spend most afternoons sat next to you sorting out my fan mail having a cup of tea and a chat. Mancheter united through and through, with the heart and soul of the club ingrained in you, that's how I will remember you. Coming to Old Trafford in the future will be different from now on. Rest in peace Kath ❤️🤍🖤
Very sad news about the passing of Sir Bobby Charlton. A bona fide legend for United, England and worldwide football. Also very warm, kind, helpful and generous with his time whenever I interviewed him for the MEN.
As a fellow Fallowfield lad I was privileged to see Paul’s two-goal debut v WBA at Maine Road in 67-68. Honoured then to become an MEN colleague. We had some bloody good laughs in the office and on our travels. A fund of hilarious stories. God bless Hincey.
Desperately sad news about Gordon McQueen. Always available for a chat when I was at the MEN. Lovely, funny man. Love to @HayleyMcQueen and the family.
This brings back memories of Fergie being so impressed with Newcastle’s fans’ show of their colours that he instructed me to organise a flag day for Wembley ‘99. So I got the MEN got on board and produced a flag on every United seat….never thanked me!!!! 🤣
Fans attending the #CarabaoCup final will find a gift on their seats when they arrive at Wembley Stadium 👀

IMO this all goes back to the “We’re Man United, we do what we want,” culture. There’s good arrogance and destructive arrogance. Too much of the latter. All will be ok because of who we are. Naive and shameful. It’s going to be a long way back. Time for some humility. #mufc
This is my first full season I won’t be working since 1975. Football was my hobby, career and passion. Am I bereft and empty? No 😁 But I know it still means everything to so many so have a great season and may all your footie dreams come true.
My daughter asked my 3 year old granddaughter if she wanted to play football like the #Lionesses in the future. “No, I want to be in Frozen” she replied! Oh well, you can’t convince them all.
What a day. Visited RHS Bridgewater. Joined the RHS. Played a bit of golf. Had a pint. Something decent happened in cricket and at Wimbledon. Now the govt is collapsing. Having a glass of wine. After 46 years as a football journo great to enjoy something else. #retirement
This is tragic news. A great reporter and top bloke. Andy gave me one critical piece of advice at a key point of my MEN career. It helped me so much and I will be forever grateful for it.
So sad to hear this week of the passing of my predecessor as MEN crime reporter, Andy Nott, a lovely bloke and great old school journo who introduced me to the Abercrombie. RIP Andy manchestereveningnews.co.uk/…
