None of these moments would ever have happened for Grimsby Town F.C.- and importantly, fans would not have these precious memories- without a replay in the Emirates FA Cup last year. The FA #EmiratesFACup

I’ve done a lot of work in the background on awful events surrounding Legacy Funeral Directors in Hull, but the excellent BBC File On 4 last night by friend and colleague Linsey Smith really brought home impact on families and wider picture. Worth a listen

A bit of #gtfc team news none of us ever thought would happen.
Most Grimsby Town F.C. fans have grown up listening to John. A soundtrack to our football lives through thick and thin.
40 incredible years, and a privilege to be filming with JT for BBC East Yorkshire tonight as he calls time
