One of my favourite jobs is curating the grandkids annual photo album - this year is the best yet!
There is nothing more enjoyable for a neutral than watching a so called top six team launch balls into the box in added time in desperate attempt to get something out of a game like a Sunday league team! @RestIsFootball @GaryLineker
Really enjoyable evening with @GuillemBalague talking about his new book on Unai Emery but fascinating to hear Damian Vidagany #AVFC Director of Football Operations on practical and financial challenges of trying to sustain Champions League contention.
Fantastic evening dancing with Billy Ocean - what a national treasure! I hope I am that cool when I’m 75!
