A couple of months ago, I saw an ad with someone selling every issue of Roy of the Rovers for probably about a third of what they're worth.

Now, I'm talking about it all on this podcast for comic fans and it's a pleasure to join the team in my first slot as a regular

So my 20th season of reporting pro rugby league starts. Midlands Hurricanes v Siddal in the Challenge Cup. Nice to meet the new Midlands managing director Eorl Crabtree who's played a bit in his time.

What’s your thoughts on The Traitors so far?

Hear what last years runner up Andrew Jenkins, who’s from Talbot Green, says as he speaks to Cerys about this year’s series.

The calm before the storm. Photo taken from McDonald's car park, with Maccas packed with police fueling up before going into battle. Cardiff v Swansea kicks off at 12.30pm. I'll be reporting on the latter stages live on @gtfmradio.bsky.social from 2pm.

30 years ago today, I was at Day 1 of the Australian Open. Programme signed by Jim Courier, who was champ a couple of years before, and future French Open winner Michael Chang. Second day programme signed by Jeremy Bates and I remember leading the crowd into the chant "Bates eats Swedes" as he won.

Nice to have done a quick 121 interview with Lauren Price at Nos Galan tonight. I was given two minutes, I did 90 seconds. It'll be on GTFM soon. Cheeky pic was also in order.

Netflix have taken the franchise to a new level. Shame there's no Jim Dale cameo.

Great news for Welsh Rugby League with Cardiff Demons RLFC (and London Broncos RL) confirmed as being in the main Women's Championship for next year (aka the northern one), which will be the route to Super League. Some quality opposition will help improve the Welsh side.

Happy (US) Black Friday. It's amazing what an offer does in some countries, this being France. My book is number one in TV guides on Amazon there right now.

Also available in English. More at www.heartbreakhigh.co.uk

Europa Conference League nights are fast becoming a favourite of mine. Great atmosphere at the TNS match and I'm looking forward to seeing Larne next, I hear a lot of pupils from their local high school have flown over to Slovenia to support them! What a great experience for them.

Looking forward to playing against Salford Red Devils this coming weekend at Cwmbran Stadium 🙌

Wheelchair rugby league is an amazing, inclusive sport, and certainly one I recommend everyone tries at least once
