It is 45 years since Mossley AFC played Dagenham & Redbridge at Wembley in the final of the FA Trophy and I was lucky to be there early in my journalistic career. I have just been given this, something I will treasure. I watched Daggers win 5-0 at Stalybridge Celtic in an earlier round


Working on a tribute to former Manchester City footballer Barney Daniels who has died aged 74. I remember watching him as a boy when he played for Stockport County Later I also reported on him playing for Ashton United FC and Hyde United FC 🐯 while starting out at the Ashton Reporter



Only when working on a tribute to former Manchester City striker Barney Daniels, who has died aged 74, that I discovered I watched his debut for Stockport County away to Workington AFC in 1976 #ManCity #ManchesterCity #MCFC #stockportcounty


This week's The Non-League Paper features my tribute to Gary Pierce who began and ended his playing days at Mossley AFC He was a member of the Wolves side which won the League Cup in 1974 and many of that side attended his funeral #HuddersfieldTown #wolvesfc #barnsleyfc

Delighted with the space the The Non-League Paper gave in today's edition for my tribute to former Manchester City Stockport County Chester FC Ashton United FC and Hyde United FC 🐯 striker Barney Daniels who has died aged 74. #MCFC #ManCity #ManchesterCity #stockportcounty


Can't believe why it took so long to return to Queen's Park, Chesterfield, surely one of the most picturesque cricket grounds, to see Derbyshire CC against Lancashire Cricket I last visited in the late 1970s to watch the great South African Eddie Barlow playing for Derbyshire.


Quite a surprise to meet Roland Butcher, the first black cricketer to play for England, who was today signing copies of his autobiography 'Breaking Barriers' at Derbyshire CC against Lancashire Cricket He was unaware that we are both working on the same cricketing documentary.


Loved the humour of James Anderson after Lancashire Cricket match at Derbyshire CC Asked to pose with a family for a group shot, the Burnley FC football fan spotted a young child wearing a shirt of bitter rivals Blackburn Rovers and joked everyone but him was welcome on the photo.


Was a delight working with Robbie Savage in the last couple of seasons at Macclesfield FC (C) while covering games for the The Non-League Paper Surprised he is leaving the exciting project he and Rob Smethurst created at this point in time to join Dale Vince at Forest Green Rovers



A marathon 14-hour walk yesterday along the 34-mile Sandstone Trail from Whitchurch to Frodsham and passing the Manor House racing stables of former Liverpool FC and Manchester United footballer Michael Owen #Liverpool #liverpoolfc #MUFC #ManUtd #ManchesterUnited


Tragic news about the death of Liverpool FC star Diogo Jota and his brother Andre in a car crash and only two weeks after the father-of-three married his partner. He was a footballer with a phenomenal instinct in front of goal #RestInPeaceDiogoJota #diogojota

Standing room only at Agecroft Crematorium today and an emotional send off at the funeral of former Manchester United Manchester City Stockport County Chester FC Ashton United FC and Hyde United FC 🐯 striker Barney Daniels who has died aged 74.


When Barney Daniels signed for Manchester City for £1,000 and an additonal £3,000 after he played six first-team matches, they also sent their first team to Ashton United FC as part of the deal. Lovely touch by Michael Bennett to reproduce that programme and hand it out to mourners.
