Can’t believe I even pre-date Sir Alex at @ManUtd as Big Ron was the first of nine permanent managers I have dealt with. Billy McNeill was the first of 21 at @ManCity back in 1985 #mufc #ManUtd #ManchesterUnited #mcfc #ManCity #ManchesterCity
A legend among legends. Today marks the 40 years since Sir Alex Ferguson began his glorious association with Manchester United ❤️

Wonder when an @England squad included so few players from the Mancunian clubs - Elliot Anderson and Marc Guehi from @ManCity and none from @ManUtd ? #mcfc #ManCity #ManchesterCity #mufc #ManUtd #ManchesterUnited #ENG #ThreeLions
Jobe Bellingham joins brother Jude in England squad. Josh King gets a deserved call. No Cole Palmer. #ENG

Surprisingly discarded by @lancscricket it is great to see cricket legend @jimmy9 still in demand with 12 counties interested in signing him. He took 50 wickets for Lancs this summer and is still producing the goods aged 44. #RedRoseTogether #LancsCricket #JimmyAnderson
Exclusive: Jimmy Anderson is now expected to play county cricket next summer (not for Lancashire, obvs!) after changing his mind about retiring. Twelve counties have shown an interest, and it seems he has chosen which one to go for dailymail.com/sport/cricket/…

That photo brings back memories as I covered this match between @LaticsOfficial and @ManCity for the Oldham Evening Chronicle. It was during Latics' last season at Springfield Park as they were about to move to their new home. #wafc #WiganAthletic #mcfc #ManCity #ManchesterCity
These images have shaped my work every year through the seasons, since 1989...going now into my own Fame of Hall. Places & people & half the story (yours is the other half of the tale)... "IN ON GOAL" Wigan Athletic v Manchester City at Springfield, year1999 #wafc #mcfc #mancity Photo©stuartroyclarke/homesoffootball

A game to remember for ex @Everton striker Graeme Sharp who hit four goals for @OfficialOAFC in a 5-1 top-flight win against @LutonTown in April 1992. #oafc #efc #Everton
I used to enjoy my trips to Boundary Park,mainly because of three managers;Jimmy Frizzell,Big Joe and Sharpey(with Colin).

Interesting reading, but unsure how accurate the figures are? I was at @ftfc and they maintain they have the third lowest wage bill in the @EFL while I wouldn't have thought @YorkCityFC had the smallest. Doesn't surprise me @SalfordCityFC are top looking at who they have signed.
The estimated League Two wage bills for 2026/27 make for VERY interesting reading. 👀 Salford City are way out in front on an estimated £6.85m a year, with Port Vale and Rotherham next. At the other end, York City and Barnet are operating on just over £2m.

Sad to hear of the death of Steve Ellis, 76, lead singer of 1960s band Love Affair. I have been championing for their hit 'Bringing on Back the Good Times' to be adopted by @swfc after the recent takeover. Take a listen to the hit #swfc #WAWAW bing.com/videos/riverview/re…

If anyone doubted the quality of non-league football, take a look at Benito Lowe’s stunning goal for @AvroFC at @buryfcofficial in @NorthernPremLge West #Bury #Avro #NPL
What a hit, Benito Lowe 🤩 A magnificent finish from the @AvroFC forward to find the top corner 🔥

Looking at the players brought in, they will have one of the higher budgets in the division. They are clearly under performing and under achieving so he will be under pressure.
Do you think cunny will be sacked? Brought in loads of players but obviously not working out for him

A comeback which will live long in the memory as @ManUtd come back from the dead to beat @ASRoma in the @ChampionsLeague in a dramatic finish at Old Trafford. Here is my match report #mufc #ManUtd #ManchesterUnited #ASRoma #ChampionsLeague #MUNRO

Further protests at @ManUtd tonight against the club's owners, this time 4,000 green and yellow balloons released before the @ChampionsLeague match against @ASRoma #mufc #ManUtd #ManchesterUnited #ASRoma #ChampionsLeague #MUNROM

Lisandro Martinez is, unsurprisingly, dropped by @ManUtd for tonight's @ChampionsLeague group game against @ASRoma at Old Trafford. Here are tonight's teams #mufc #ManUtd #ManchesterUnited #ASRoma #ChampionsLeague

Congratulations to @altrinchamfc player @MKosylo for being a community champion. Still talked about fondly at Middleton Technology School which recently became Dixons Middleton Academy where he was a student. #Alty
💚 The @PFA National League Community Champion 2025/26 is… 🥁 Matty Kosylo, @altrinchamfc #NFWA2026

An endorsement of Mr Rock’s refereeing from the authorities as the sendings off of @OfficialOAFC players Kai Payne and Kane Drummond are upheld #oafc
The appeals against the red cards issued to Kai Payne and Kane Drummond have been unsuccessful. Both players will now be suspended for the matches against Northampton, Sheffield Wednesday and Shrewsbury. #oafc

The wage bills for most clubs in @SkyBetLeagueOne ate eye-watering and unsustainable. Goodness knows what is going to happen to @LCFC as their finances are seriously scary #lcfc #LeagueOne
The player wage bills of League One clubs for the 2026/27 season. 💰⚽ Leicester City are reportedly spending a staggering £35 MILLION a year on player wages, almost FOUR TIMES as much as the next highest spenders, Luton Town (£9.6m). At the other end of the scale, Bromley are estimated to spend just £2.88m annually. The financial gap between clubs in the same division is absolutely enormous. 🤯

Good luck George with whatever comes next. Been a pleasure to spend time in your company when covering @swfc - you are a top man #swfc #WAWAW
🚨 After just over a year freelancing with The Star, the time has come to move on. I’ll forever be grateful for being given the chance to cover #SWFC, and I can honestly that say I loved it! The chance to report on my club for The Star was a dream of mine growing up. 1/3.

Don’t think you can argue with the choice. What a year it has been for Jim McNulty leading @officiallydale back into the @EFL and the great start to the season for @StockportCounty #rafc #scfc #stockportcounty #EFL
Jimmy McNulty has won Manager of the Season at the North West Football Awards, after leading Rochdale back into the football league. #NWFA2026 #NWFA #RAFC #StockportCounty
