When people ask me about values & standards, I point out that they are with you for life: you can’t just shake them off. Why do I follow @broadbent_tom & sponsor his shirt? Because of things like this: example. BZ Tom - role model 👏👏. @T_STBL @SouthShieldsFC @Official_STFC

Just a moment to pay respect to the Leeds fans yesterday who went to Brentford full of loyal hope & support. This week has see. too many pitch invasions. After a brilliant result the Leeds fans celebrated - by staying in their allocated section. From this #STFC fan: BZ #LUFC fans

37 years ago today I swore my Oath of Allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, her heirs & successors, according to law. So help me God. I did so aged 16 in Bath with my great friend Scrumpy Morris. I’ve held it very dear & I’d do it all again 🔵🟡🔴🙏 #Milestones

There are some days, just a very tiny few, that make all the pain worthwhile. Magic stuff today at the home of #STFC . On my Mum and Dad’s 56th Wedding Anniversary too. BZ! #Resilience #Optimism #Commitment 🔴⚪️

I’ve had some days in my career - some dark days & enlightening days. Today was just brilliant. Who wouldn’t want to command an AFV? #RAC #Bovington #SoldierOn Time spent with soldiers is never wasted. #ServingOn #Inspired and so many cap badges and legends sharing dits. ⚔️❤️🫡

That’s it. Home sweet home. 16 hours door to door with thanks to @SAS_Travel . A great day even with a rubbish result: that’s football, that’s life as a @Official_STFC fan. We go again next week. Great to see @leigh439 and @NathanDeacon4 too 👊 Our day in 4 pics.

Well I think he managed to tick every box there. Michael Flynn’s Red and White Army. 🔴⚪️. It’s going to be a hard working #STFC team next year. #COYR PS Great rendition of the National Anthem before kick off

The #FACup is a National Treasure: if it was architecture it would be Grade 1 Listed. It’s being recklessly torn apart by those who should treasure it. ❤️ replays in all rounds (life blood) 👊 Semi-Finals at neutral grounds (Villa Park) ⚽️ The Final as the season’s final curtain

Flippin’ ‘eck I’m exhausted. What a day and what a team. Brilliant in every position and absolutely all in it together. 0-3 and my nerves still weren’t settled. Great birthday present for @cartertracy1 🍾🥂🔴⚪️ #STFC @IzSTFC @AmeliaCrook01 @MartinCrook1208

If there is one club in English football that really embarrass football it is #MK . They did not earn their status: they stole it. The joy of this last minute winner is very, very special. We at #STFC salute you. This moment: and what a moment. ❤️⚽️ #Joyful

Leg 1 complete and it’s now the next long leg to Grimsby. @IzSTFC is already yawning and here’s hoping that it’s not a yawn between 1500-1700. Hoping for 3 points for @Official_STFC on our travels with @SAS_Travel . #COYR #STFC

This is what proper football fans are all about: respecting each other and our support for our clubs. We were delighted to be greeted by a ‘Welcome’ sign on the opening day of the season at Scunthorpe. Respect 👍 #STFC #SUFC BZ @STFCSupClub

Hey @SUFCOfficial and @ScunUtdOSC we'll be giving out vouchers for a FREE hot drink before todays game, by the away turnstiles. You've made the journey twice, it's the least we can do! Enjoy your evening, just not too much though! 😉 ☕🔴⚪⚽️ #STFC #SUFC #COYR
