Thank you to #NUFC’s @hannahreid__x for speaking so openly and movingly about her twin sister, Ellen, who died by suicide four years ago. We also spoke about her time in the police and becoming a mum to twins in February. A long read:

An interview with Stan & Cooper from @knatsncl - their album A Great Day in Newcastle is up for the @MercuryPrize tonight. On Geordie jazz, #NUFC, Sir Paul McCartney, poetry and a big night ahead. “Anybody could walk home with it. Let’s see what happens.”

Good luck to @knatsncl, who are up for the @MercuryPrize alongside some huge names. Stan and Cooper helped launch the new #NUFC adidas Originals range - we spoke about the club, poetry, Sir Paul McCartney & their second album, A Great Day in Newcastle:

It was great fun to interview Andy Hunt about his varied life in and out of football. We spoke about leaving his job as a pensions administrator to join #NUFC, his role at AZ Alkmaar and how he ended up spending 20 years running a jungle resort in Belize.

A few features from the last week - 30 years ago, a team representing @NUFCWomen played at Wembley for the first - and, to date, only - time in the club’s history.
This is the little-known story of that day, and that team. #NUFC

Thank you to @toxtoby for this honest, wide-ranging interview. On her indigenous background, motherhood, the #NUFC job - and her brother, Michael. “The way he affected people's lives… that's his legacy. I know he's still watching us. I know he's around.”

I spent a week at Cochrane Park with Newcastle United Women as they prepared for matchday.
Lots of voices in this, which is really a story about the players and staff who are trying to push #NUFC into the WSL. Full feature:

A week with the lasses 📖
A look behind the scenes as Tanya Oxtoby and her squad prepare for the derby and the #BarclaysWSL2 run in!
🎶 My interview with former #NUFC midfielder Vurnon Anita - on making music under the name JR, the process of writing lyrics, why it’s not easy to be expressive as a footballer, Curaçao reaching the World Cup, retirement and his time at St. James’ Park.

🎶 “I’m not shy but I’m a quiet person. In music I’m more, not aggressive, but more vocal about things. It’s a way of expression as well for me.
“You hear the beat, and you just go with the flow.”

🍩 Tonight I'll report on my 1,000th Carlisle United first-team game for the @newsandstar. As well as making me feel old, it makes me feel very lucky too. Here is a piece about reaching that number on the Blues beat ⤵️ #cufc

Thanks to @PaulDummett for this interview about what it feels like to become a former footballer. We spoke about retirement, #NUFC, the goal that changed his life, being 7/10, property and becoming a fan again (he’s heading to Bayer Leverkusen next week).

This is lovely. Met Don a few years ago in the process of writing this piece about his friend, Alan, whose life was saved at St. James’ Park: newcastleunited.com/en/news/…. Great to see him doing so well at 98, and that he finally got to meet @alanshearer. #NUFC

My interview with David Hopkinson, #NUFC’s new CEO. “We will execute strategies - I assure you. We will grow - I have absolute confidence in that. But the first job is to listen, and to really understand.”
