Imagine being talented and beautiful and rich and famous and still the most noteworthy thing about you is how good a person you are.

It was very lovely to be asked to contribute an #lufc piece towards another great book from the @gotnotgot.bsky.social stable. You can order advanced copies here: www.conkereditions.co.uk/2026/08/21/i... 'I Was Hooked' is about your very first game. It's a funny, heartbreaking and nostalgic read

Roy Keane coined the phrase 'Tottenham tendencies' about ten years ago, and he was talking about teams from 10-15 years before that. And yet it still perfectly describes them today. Wonderful @tftimemachine.bsky.social

Hard to be 100% sure, but these photos I took today definitely suggest a portion of the famous 1957-built blue facade is still in place on the same plinth on the back of the West Stand This is literally unearthing buried treasure, and part of this HAS to be preserved as a historic artefact #lufc

Wrote about this book before & said it wasn't what I expected. That's true. This is a book about people, where football is a character. Jon's tackles things which are taboo for many men - mental health, relationships, grief - and does it with wonderful humanity. Don't be a stranger to it. #lufc

When you've written non-fiction all your life it is a huge leap to writing something that is 100% from your own head. Self-publishing a novel makes me feel vulnerable and exposed and I can't be 100% confident in what I've produced. So comments like these are lovely thesquareball.net/shop/days-of...
