Thanks to Matt, James & Jack for welcoming us to ⁦‪Scunthorpe United yesterday.

Quick quiz: who was the third Iron player to captain England? Only 3 ever did.

2 years ago this week Darren Young and I were out at the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

By escalating our #fanexperience feedback ‘live’ the organisers were able to address issues immediately (like addressing a significant barrier to sales in the stadium retail facilities before the next game took place).

Finally, who’s this? (1/3)

For those playing along, here’s the second part of the quiz? Which 🇳🇱 footballing heroes can you spot here? (2)

Just back from 🇳🇱 where engaging young people in attending football matches was the subject of a #KNVBKnowledge workshop.

Among the many wonderful memories, the decoration of the KNVB Campus stood out.

How many Dutch footballing legends can you spot in this picture (1)

My Dad (90) & Jimmy Montgomery (81): @safc.bsky.social legend (in the home dressing room at the Stadium of Light.

A big thank you to my beloved #SunderlandAFC (& specifically to club SLO Chris Waters) for making my Dad’s 90th birthday such an unforgettable day.

There he is, 3rd from the left. What a team too! Montgomery, @juanluisbradley.bsky.social, Bradley (senior), Neil, Patterson, Watson & yours truly.

Thanks to ESSMA for inviting me to moderate an afternoon season at their conference in Madrid. High point? The venue: El Estadio Metropolitano de Atlético de Madrid.
