Eyup everyone! I know there are a lot of people looking in to signing up for challenges at this time of year, so if you’re looking for an event to work towards, why not join me in the Sheffield Half Marathon or Sheffield 10k this year?

John has been unable to go out since March due to Covid, this has been hugely difficult and challenging for him. I am pleading with you, his supporters. to help him reach his magic million for @macmillancancer whilst he can't.

Morning everyone ! I’m chuffed to bits with some fantastic bids on this brilliant shirt. The auction will close at midnight Sunday 11th December. If the highest bid is two bids of the same value, it’ll go to the person who submitted that bid first.

Had a smashing time at the Sheffield 10k yesterday. Lovely to see so many familiar faces. I'm still on the lookout for 15 volunteers to help with my collection for a couple of hours at the Sheffield United versus Blackpool match on Saturday 15th October. #TwitterBlades 1/2
