Really exciting time to join the club and can’t wait to get started 💙 hopefully help some of the younger lads and help the club push forward this season 🙌

Worst decision I’ve ever seen that! Red card makes it even worse 😭 rule needs to change! Anything over the shirt can’t be a foul

@Adam17Hughes Some player son ❤️

Winning a league, a relegation battle and a play off semi all the best 👍🏻

@DFrankcom @JoeNorrisGYTO I agree it’s a pen 100%! I think Hato not getting the touch infront makes the refs choice! But should be a pen imo

@JoeNorrisGYTO I’d love to say you’re pocket taking here Goggles on etc But that ain’t the case 100% a pen

Got to ask yourself. If that is Haaland at the other end does he give a penalty? Every single time.

This atmosphere at Celtic Park is absolutely incredible! Hope the game doesn’t disappoint now, come on ❤️

Absolute scenes in the Celtic game! Some balls from Kelchi for that pen! Some end to the season this 🙌 how can you not like Football!!

@darrhyl Quality Daz ❤️

@stevewilkes1 @jimmymcbride1 What a career! Loved playing under you gaffa, some man! Enjoy all the time with your family mate ❤️

So, after 29 years in football management, 1,330 matches, and countless hours of recruitment calls, scouting missions and preparation, I’ve decided that now is the right time to step back from the game and announce my retirement. Football has given me so much — moments, friendships, challenges and memories that will stay with me for life. Football is, and always will be, in my DNA. I would like to thank the six clubs I’ve had the privilege to manage — Darwen, Padiham, Runcorn Linnets, Ashton Athletic, Northwich Victoria, and finallyRamsbottom United — for placing their trust in me to lead their football clubs. To each and every player I’ve worked with, thank you. The relationship between a player and a manager is a special one, and the dressing room is our place. I hope that over the past 29 years my team talks have helped you develop as players — and maybe made you smile along the way. To all the coaches who have put up with me over the years, I simply couldn’t have done this without you. However, the time feels right to shift priorities and spend more quality time with my family — especially my grandchildren, Freddie, William and Emmie. To the fans of every club I’ve managed — thank you most of all. Your relentless support, home and away, through every high and every difficult moment, has never gone unnoticed. You are what makes a football club special, and I will always be grateful for the backing you’ve given me and every team I’ve led. To all the managers out there, I take my hat off to you. The job gets harder every year. I was once told: never get too high after a win and never too low after a defeat. That advice is so true — although much harder to follow after a defeat. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at Ramsbottom United.  First and foremost, my thanks go to my management team — especially Rob. Your loyalty, support and tireless work over this past year have meant everything to me. Your sessions are second to none, and I have no doubt that you have a great future ahead of you as a manager. My thanks also go to Lewis Hindley, who is far more than just a goalkeeper coach, and to Tony Dunn, one of the best physios I’ve worked with. I’m hugely grateful for the backing of Phil Rose and Tony Cunningham, and for the ongoing support of the committee, including Harry, whose trust and belief were so important from day one. Phil brought me to the club with a three‑year plan — unfortunately, we didn’t quite see it through. Leading Ramsbottom United has been an honour. Special people really do achieve great things, and the commitment, honesty and togetherness shown every day created memories I will carry with me forever. It has been a genuine privilege to lead this group. I leave Ramsbottom United with nothing but fond memories and huge respect. I wish the club every success for the future — it’s a special place with real heart, and I’m proud to have been part of its journey. Finally, I want to thank my family — my children Louis,Zack and Olivia, and my wife Ali. Without your backing, love and support through both good times and bad, none of the last 29 years would have been possible. You are the people who pick me up on a Saturday night, and I love you all so much. Thank you all. — Steve Wilkes

@nathanneequaye @NewMillsFC Good luck to you and the boys! Get the job done ❤️

Business end of the season @NewMillsFC 💪🏽 A big one tomorrow as we look to progress onto the playoff final! Your support would be very much appreciated 🤝⚽️

@Liam_sheppard9 @MattShepp74 @OfficialDHFC Shepppp! What a man! No doubt you’ll smash it wherever you go pal, some player! Shame we didn’t get more time together lad ❤️

I just wanted to say thankyou to everyone at @OfficialDHFC but I have taken the tough decision to move on in the summer. I hope everyone will understand that I want to test myself at a higher level and feel ready for that challenge now.

@FootballEvo @squiresgatefc All the best today mate 👏🙌

Well, it’s been some season that’s for sure. Horrendous start and great since then. Always bumps in the road but that’s football. A win for my @squiresgatefc boys today and we will make the playoffs. NO HIDING PLACE, TIME TO DELIVER 💙💙

What a half of football this is! Literally what it’s all about ❤️

I AM MAXIMUS!!! What a performance that is! Would love to know the amount of money put down that last half hour before the race, 8/1 into 9/2 😂 unreal!

2nd 3-2 win in 48 hours ❤️ don’t do it the easy way! Can’t beat a derby day win 🙌

Arsenal 😂😂😂😂😂😂

@saulhenderson @NewMillsFC What an achievement my mate! Well done pal 👏❤️

200 goals in the NWCFL⚽️ Something I’ve had my eye on for a while. I appreciate all the support over the years and the doubt has spurred me on even more. To the young lads. I’ve been told many times over the years I wasn’t good enough. Hard work pays off! Consistency Rules All 👑

Nothing beats a last second winner! Huge win that! ❤️

@David_Jones_1 Moorsey takes the average age up a fair bit 😂 incredible effort! Go on and get promotion 🙌

For me, disappointing ending to the #peakyblindersimmortalman but Tommy Shelby for me has to be one of the greatest characters of any series I’ve watched! Who agrees? Walter white, Michael Schofield and more but he’s up there ❤️

Typical Arsenal 😂😂 love to see it!
