Today marks 25yrs at the club I truly call my home. Never could I have imagined the wonderful moments I have experienced as a player & part of the coaching staff. Iโm honoured humbled & extremely proud. Itโs been a hell of a journey & I wouldnโt change it for the world

An exciting new chapter of my life at

Today is 10 years since I retired from the game I adore so much. I was obsessed with playing and thought I could play forever. It broke my heart even at 40 years of age but moments like this keep the fire burning deep inside ๐ฅ๐ช๐ฝ๐โฝ๏ธโค๏ธ

Going to take my 3 beautiful dogs for a lovely walk but not sure on the weather as it looks like it might rain but seeing as itโs not CLEAR AND OBVIOUS! I think Iโll go with my initial decision!
7 years of pure elation and 2 years of pure heart ache. 7-2 = 5 (good years) but the gut wrenching feeling at this moment doesnโt equal out. We all love this club

Thanks for taking over 100 games off me ๐คฃโฝ๏ธ - Derby have a special place in my heart โค๏ธ & even more so now after what has happened. The whole countryโs favourite other team are now Derby. We had the same fate back in 2008 & it made our club stronger. We feel your pain ๐๐ฝ

@afcbournemouth
legend played over 600 games and 100 goals for them but his grandad was Jack Howe part of the DCFC Cup team of 46, he has always had a soft spot for us and contributed to the RememberingReg campaign.
Absolutely devastated to hear the passing of former team mate and fans favourite Jamie Vincent. One of the finest left backs in the clubs history. Great player but more importantly a truly great person. Always saw the positive in everyone, funny and caring. We all loved him ๐โค๏ธ
So TRUE Cooky. He was the voice of the fans for so many years. I was lucky enough to spend time with Nonny at the stadium back in August. His knowledge and memories he shared that day were incredible. He was all of us rolled into one. What a MAN - What a LEGEND

I helped sign this guy
@SteveCook28
back in 2012. One of the best things Iโve ever done for
@afcbournemouth
#afcb
- A top guy inside & out. Always could speak to Cooky on a personal & professional level & tell it like it is! One of the old school. Love, Bigโn โค๏ธโฝ๏ธ๐
Morning - Just been reading all the wonderful messages from people on my 30yrs on the South Coast. Very heartwarming and endearing and a major reason I never wanted to leave this town and club. Thank you all ๐๐ฝโค๏ธ๐โฝ๏ธ
Have to thank our travelling fans for their incredible support tonight. To take 741 all the way to Peterborough on a Wednesday night was outstanding. Massive commitment and sang all game ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐โฝ๏ธโค๏ธ

1/2 - Now the dust has settled on a very successful season in the brutal world of the Premier League I would like to thank every single supporter who has drove us on to accomplish our goals. To those fans who have travelled up and down the country I take my hat off to you โค๏ธ๐๐ฝโฝ๏ธ
Something I took from todayโs game - I watched
@KevinDeBruyne
(one of the worlds best players) spend 30mins talking to the press outside the stadium when he could have walked away - He gave them time when other players didnโt. What a player, but more importantly, what a man ๐ช๐ฝโฝ๏ธ
Have to say a huge thank you to all our
@afcbournemouth
travelling fans who made the ridiculously long journey to
@NUFC
on a Tuesday night right on Christmas. A humongous effort and we appreciate you all ๐ช๐ฝโฝ๏ธ๐โค๏ธ

Stay strong Nonny

We need you back at Dean Court/Vitality soon as you can. Those fans need you as do the players and staff, Love Fletch x

โThree players were very unfortunate to miss outโ ๐ค
Only ONE Bournemouth player made it into our Team of the Season.
Itโs despite them finishing 2nd in the Championship.
@RyanDilks1
explains why more of them werenโt picked๐

Easily as big as a result as the last 2 have been. Confidence is 90% of your game. Fantastic performance

So sad to hear we have lost John Harriss. A true legend at
@afcbournemouth
who typified the word Gentleman. John was the 1st person I met when I arrived at Dean Court 26yrs ago. His kindness, love & enthusiasm was a major reason I decided to sign. We will miss him dearly ๐
