Huge thanks to the nurses on Brent ward at University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust for looking after me over the last week.

Have moved to St Luke's Hospice Plymouth. After introduction, slept most of the afternoon. Don’t understand how tired I am.

Inundated with messages. Sorry I can’t reply.

On my first road trip since watching play at Wigan last season. Well, if I can be given a lift to Home Park and transfer to my wheelchair, why not London?

Currently having a coffee break at Bristol. Never thought that would be so exciting.

After watching an amazing game yesterday, sorry, but can’t bring myself to watch England in a meaningless game and especially after the terrible performance v Italy.

Quiz Monday on BBC Two for me.

On this day in 1972, Alan Freeman presented the final episode of 'Pick of the Pops'.

Click the link for radio magic.

Remember, it was live. No pre-record for the countdown. Oh, and the classic theme tune.

A dear friend of mine who is very well connected at Bradford City AFC sent this.

Written by his father, it was very rare for a football referee back in the day to print his take on the game.

My friend my be and I’m - but it’s a football family.

Thank you, H.
