I was gonna hang onto this until after my final game on Saturday, but seems right to share it tonight…

If any of the Stan Army - Stan army want a couple of 2XL joma trackie tops from last season, come see me later

A brilliant bloke who has worked his socks off and gone through it, all while still being there and being a proper captain at the club. Legend is right.

A huge thanks to Heaton Stannington FC and StanSnaps for this parting gift. I can only assume it’s the first in a major print run of a book destined to become a Times bestseller. I’ll treasure it!

Get the fuck in man!!! 4.20am, lying in a 6 man dorm in Perth trying to silently punch the air and dance in celebration! ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️

After two years in the Northern League Division One, Heaton Stannington are scaling new heights. PLAY-OFF CHAMPIONS!!!!!! Heaton Stannington 3-0 West Auckland Town

So fucking proud of every single person at the club, worked their bollocks off for this and they get what they deserve! ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️

Tonight we made history for Heaton, an unassuming suburb of Newcastle. Thank you to every volunteer who made today and this season possible. We walk into next season together … whatever happens we are the Stan ⚫️⚪️

Can’t believe this news. Brian was a brilliant human being, a friend, supporter and huge piece of the jigsaw in what we all do in NE non-league. Thoughts with his family.

An update for anyone who sponsored or followed my sober season for Heaton Stannington FC a couple of years back. I went back to the drink for a bit, hated it; and yesterday I was a year sober. Living in Australia, playing football, life is sweet. Thanks to everyone who supported then & now

Not often you’d travel 8,000km for a friendly but since it’s a close as I’ll get to Oz… belting few days in Tokyo watching #NUFC and enjoying the coolest place I’ve ever been 🇯🇵

All the very best to my mates Heaton Stannington FC today. The hard work that has gone in from everyone to get here can’t be put into words. Enjoy every second. Will be following from down under ⚽️ ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️

There’s the lads there! ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️

As a kid playing in my garden in Northumberland, I dreamed that one day I’d lift the Western Australia Amateur Division 4 trophy. On Sunday, that dream came true. Up the East Perth ☘️🏆

Representing Heaton Stannington FC in the Perth Half Marathon in a time of 1:41:16 🏃‍♂️ 🥇

First taste of A League action last night. Perth Glory continue to struggle, with 35 goals against in their last 6 games, but the skyline was worth the entry fee regardless 🇦🇺

Planning a trip to Seoul and came across this review of a hotel…

What an incredible achievement from a fantastic club and group of players and staff. Huge congrats to Dean, Andy, the rest of the staff and the lads. Unbelievable. ⚪️⚫️⚪️⚫️

Headed to South Korea 🇰🇷 for a holiday and took in some great K-league games and a bit of KBO baseball. Really cool place, really cool fan culture - would highly recommend. Best game was Jessie Lingard’s FC Seoul at the Pohang Steelers. Best atmosphere was the Doosan Bears ⚾️

Great little trip to watch #NUFC in Singapore last week. Also great to meet another iconic Irish goalkeeper, 134 caps between us… 🧤 🇸🇬
