Peter Mullins

Just saw the interview with Dave Zyw. What a great guy, what a fantastic attitude. More power to him and his family. Thank you for an inspirational appearance this morning #BBCBreakfast

@allstarsignings Sorry - are you saying that football existed BEFORE the Premier League? Before Sky?? I think you're onto something here. The world needs to know!!

Back to the 80s… This Goal of the Season compilation is packed with pure old-school worldies. Terrible pitches, short shorts, dodgy barnets and some absolute screamers. 🎥 Press play and pick your winner. #80sFootball #GoalOfTheSeason #RetroFootball

@PremSportsTV Hi, I'm watching the game now, 78 minutes gone. I'm trying to find the American presenters on X to DM them. Can you help please? They are asking watchers to check in!

Rodrigo Garro unleashes a rocket! 🚀 Corinthians hit the front thanks to a superb strike from the edge of the box 👏

@henrywinter What a fantastic, simple and heartfelt account of the man. Well said, Henry, and best wishes to Kevin and his family. YNWA

One of the many reasons why Kevin Keegan is special is that he makes other people feel special, and that's a great gift. Keegan is a footballing great who wears his greatness lightly. He’s King Kev and a man of the people. He's never forgotten his Doncaster roots, indeed is very proud of them, and the work ethic inherited from his father and grandfather, both miners. A work ethic that propelled Keegan to the top. The great smell of Brut - and sweat. That was Keegan the player. He maximised every last ounce of his talent. That's one of the many reasons he's always been so respected. Another of the many reasons why there is such an outpouring of love for Keegan, and so many messages of support as he undergoes treatment for cancer, is that as a footballer he reached for the stars with his feet firmly on the ground. Keegan is one of the greatest footballers in English and European history, a European champion with Liverpool, a two-time Ballon d’Or winner at Hamburg, a much-loved Newcastle United player and manager, and whole-hearted in his work with England as player and manager. Diego Maradona asked for his shirt after an Argentina-England game in 1980. Keegan played against Pele, George Best and Johan Cruyff. And yet he’s as down to earth as they come. In fact, he often sends himself up. He cares for people. I went to interview him once at Maiden Castle, Durham, where Newcastle were training at the time and Keegan was the manager of the Entertainers. He sent a message to say he’d come to the pavilion for a chat when training was finished. Great. I might get an early train home. A member of Newcastle’s staff mentioned that Kevin might take a while because this was a day when fans were allowed in to watch. He stepped off the pitch, and spent around an hour signing autographs, chatting away, never rushing people, just making them feel special. He dropped to his haunches so he could talk to one kid in a wheelchair, making eye contact, and having a proper chat. It meant the world to this kid that Keegan cared. He reached the pavilion, changed, and gave me 20 minutes of his time. He’s incredibly generous with his time. And there have always been so many demands on it. He tells the story that his determination to sign every autograph and meet every picture request dates back to a moment when, as a kid, he was snubbed by a Doncaster Rovers player. Keegan had waited after a Rovers game, politely approached his favourite player, and got knocked back. He’s never forgotten the hurt he felt. So he makes sure he fulfils every autograph request – no matter how long the queue. I hosted a talk with Keegan at the Cheltenham Literary Festival in 2018. He was promoting his autobiography so was obviously going to be accommodating. But, typically, he went above and beyond. Smartly suited, Keegan arrived so early that only the security guy was there. Keegan patiently chatted away with the security guy, asking him about his job, where he lived, just being friendly because that is Kevin Keegan for you. Interested in people. Good to them. Later, when the talk to the audience finished, Keegan headed into the Waterstones’ tent to sign books. The queue was huge. The Festival was closing for the night but Keegan stayed two hours to make sure everyone had their copy signed or their shirt. One lady had her Liverpool jacket signed (below). Keegan not only signed but had a joke and a laugh and a picture with them all. On Boxing Day, Keegan was at Scunthorpe United, his first club, promoting non-League football. He joined in the carols and got behind the bar, pulling pints, helping out, spreading laughter. Because that’s what Kevin Keegan does – spreads joy. And that’s one of the many, many reasons people are rooting for Kevin Keegan at this challenging time.

@theUfanclub @ColinMurray @rosannatennant @PatNevin @htafc Hey Colin, multi apologies if it's too late. Just seeing Swanny fronting The Ashes coverage on TNT takes me back to his classic appearances on the Lock-In show. Great days! All the best fella 😉

@peterhook @skytv @FreeviewTV @NOWTV Excuse my language Pete, but fucking hell - that was some contribution. Your comment about looking at your son, and then being about to take the fucking crowd's head off. That's just what it feels like, watching you & The Light play. Can't wait to see you in Cardiff again.

In an exclusive clip taken from tonight’s special programme, I reflect on honouring the Joy Division sound, and why seeing audiences connect deeply with the music still moves me. Watch ‘Greatest Basslines’ tonight at 9pm on Sky Arts, available via @skytv, @FreeviewTV or @NOWTV.

@jasonmohammad Totally agree. But a Cardiff park tonight encapsulated the whole series in one match. In just one over. Drama, class batting & bowling, fiery exchanges. A dropped catch. You're a long time retired, people. Leave it all on the pitch. (Or is it DON'T leave it all on the pitch?)

I feel sorry for people who don’t like or watch Test cricket. Unbelievable drama. Congratulations to both teams on an absolutely spellbinding summer of top class cricket. One of the best series in Test history. Just wow. #ENGvIND

From The Times: So a polite reminder of John Dawes - the only Lions Captain to win a series in NZ, and Findlay Calder who won a series as skipper against Australia in 89.

@ColinMurray Can you use a photo of Jimmy Nesbitt, like in Line of Duty!?? Might not make for great radio, geanted

@71Season When I first took an interest in football, my Welsh strikers included Wyn Davies and Ron Davies. You never forget your first. RIP Wyn.

@Athersmike Stokes retires LBW? Lady Bird Wings? Ladybirds Before Wicket?

Huge Test ahead for Ben Stokes this week with India and his opposite number, Shubman Gill, on the front foot thetimes.com/article/532ebf…

@petewylie "I'm gonna add some bot-tem, so that the dancers just won't hide" Cue Larry Graham's bass - magnificent song RIP Sly

SLY STONE HAS DIED. One of the all time undisputed genuine genius greats- an absolute influence. For me, Sly and the Family Stone were the template for the future. So many great songs, so much madness, amazing looks! For Woodstock alone he'd deserve legend status. #SlyStoneRIP😢x

@andNickMullins I'm glad you spoke - was starting to worry about you!! WHAT a battle!

@ItsGrahamParker So sorry to learn this sad news, Graham. My condolences to you and Bob's family and friends. RIP Bob

My dear friend Bob Andrews, keyboard player in the Rumour has died. So deeply saddened by this news. RIP, Bob❤️

@colinphoenix @ButcherOfFife @officialdafc @EvanSofer @gamdom Colin, a heart attack? I'm so sorry to learn this, so now I'm even more pleased to have found your posts again. Take care, fella. Peter M

@ButcherOfFife @officialdafc @EvanSofer @gamdom If the Pars are serious about me recovering from this heart attack they better! Hahha 😉

Right! @officialdafc @EvanSofer @gamdom Let’s make this an amazing Friday and get Jeremiahs contract extension announced, how does that sound, lovely. COYP 🏁🏁🏁

@colinphoenix Good to hear, Col. Ok, look after yourself, I'll be in touch.

@PeterM56947 I get what you mean re Twitter. I see an improvement on my TL recently.

My post ‘event’ recovery reading Thank you to everyone who has dropped off/sent me books & magazines to help my return to full health ♥️

@colinphoenix No problem at all Colin. I'm glad to see that you're still about. I needed time away from Twitter, the bad stuff was outweighing the fun for me. To remind you, we'll always have a love of Breaker Morant, amongst other stuff

@PeterM56947 Thank you Peter

@theBSR @historydefined Search for Billy's '15 Rounds", his stand-up at another awards show for Ali. And the eulogy Billy gave at Ali's funeral. Tremendous both

@historydefined Not to mention the impression of Howard Cosell who was right next to Ali

Billy Crystal does an unbelievable impression of Muhammad Ali, while Ali, who's sitting right beside him, cries from laughter, 1976.

@petewylie What a great feeling today Pete! Long may it last. Congratulations and thanks to Arne Slot and the LFC squad. YNWA ❤️
