9 years ago this very day, I covered my first game for OPTA as an in-stadium analyst, a Women's Super League clash between Yeovil Town & Sunderland. And through me, my two youngest lads have now done 850 games between them too. Kicked off the happiest 9 years of my life. A ๐Ÿงต

The most exciting teenager I've seen, having watched more than 100 U18PL & PL2 games in the last nine seasons. Sparky, quick, innovative, ability to score goals from anywhere, cheeky... lad has it all. Will be fascinating to see where he ends up. Loan spell to Championship?

Discovered a new word recently - "maranoia". How true it is.๐Ÿ˜„ Every sniff will be the 'flu coming. Every ache or pain will lead to amputation. Race day will be too hot/cool/windy/wet/dry. Shoes will be too tight/too loose. First half marathon since 2004 for me on Sunday! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿข
