Will D’Hooghe

@richotts Brilliant mate 👍

@_willdhooghe This is great, I was in contact with the hockey museum to get my Great Grandfathers legacy GB cap (number 1 by the way). Absolutely treasured beyond belief and very special moment, I hope you find them

I am currently working on an ongoing project with The FA where they are presenting a Legacy Cap to every England men’s senior international. I am searching for relatives of: Arthur Goodyear Edwin Luntley Sam Widdowson John Samds Tom Danks Teddy Leighton Tinsley Lindley Cont….

@toboboly No worries - more than happy to help. Would be delighted if we could get George’s cap to his family if it isn’t already

@_willdhooghe Cheers Will, apologies missed that bit 😂

@toboboly I’m only responsible for helping to track down former Forest players. Although I can ask my colleagues at The FA. Follow & DM me if you are relative or know of one.

@_willdhooghe Do you know if they ever did George Woodger?

Thank you to everyone who has reached out. We’ve made a lead on a couple of these players, and move a step closer to presenting their families with their cap. Please reach out if you think you might be able to help. #NFFC

@ChappieNFFC @NFFC Happy Birthday mate 👍

@NFFC thank you so much @_willdhooghe for making my absolute dreams come true for my 50th even more so that the whole family and friends were invited too. You made the pipe dream of my amazing wife Rachael make a grown man have tears in his eyes pitch side as Mull of Kintyre boomed out . Life memories

Frank Burton Albert Smith Charlie Richards James Iremonger Jack Calvert Harry Linacre If you can help point me in the direction of living relatives it would be greatly appreciated. #NFFC

@NMBLAKE Hi Neil, thanks for bringing this to our attention. This has now been cleaned 👍

This is the bucket hat lost outside the ground in Braga when Josh was getting out of his wheelchair. There were fewer pin badges when it was lost. Please RT in the hope we can reunite them. Thank you for your support with this. #NFFC

@Barnabus73 @NFFCServices Thanks Greg - I’ve asked Braga to see if they’re in possession of the hat and are able to return it.

@_willdhooghe @NFFCServices Can the below post be shared please, in the hope this young fan gets reunited with his lost hat, following Braga trip? #NFFC

@NFFCBEENZ Good things come to those who wait. It’s a belter… dropping on the WhatsApp channel asap. Stay tuned tomorrow!

After four incredible years, Saturday brings an end to my time at #NFFC. It’s impossible to put into words just how privileged and grateful I feel to have been a part of such a special journey at this football club over the last four-and-a-bit years. (1/2)

@edh94 Some shift, Chief!

7 incredible years with #nffc come to an end. Grateful to have been part of this special club. 🌳🔴

#NFFC in Melbourne 🇦🇺🏏

@Gemabaybe_91 @StanCollymore Hi Gem, Merry Christmas! Please could you send for my attention and I will make sure any letters/cards of condolence make their way to John’s family: Will D’Hooghe Nottingham Forest Football Club City Ground Pavilion Road West Bridgford Nottingham NG2 5FJ All the best! 🎄

@StanCollymore @_willdhooghe Merry Christmas Stan! Thank you for the response. I’ll get in touch with @_willdhooghe tomorrow. I hope today hasn’t been too hard for you. The first Christmas is always the worst 💔🍀

Hi Gem, Merry Christmas to you and yours. I'm sure Nottingham Forest will be doing something appropriate to celebrate Robbo's life and acheivements and @_willdhooghe is head of supporter engagement and is a good lad so drop him a line. Stay well☘️

Some more info for any #nffc fan affected by the dreadful attack on Saturday. Am told they should contact the club’s Head of Fan Engagement, Will d’Hooghe. He, along with a wider team at Forest will liaise with victims and families. Heartwarming to see Forest stand by its fanbase 🌳

@mattforde You are the man, Fordey ❤️

Today I'm two years cancer free. It sounds barmy but at times I completely forget that I had it. I can't figure out if that makes me a very positive person or a moron. Probably a bit of both. My main reflection is that I'm very lucky. Lucky to have caught it when I did, to still be alive as a result, to have been treated by the NHS at such a phenomenal hospital that (@thernohcharity), and with such wonderful people around me. Oh and the hospital food was delicious. Having to confront my mortality is one of the most powerful things I've ever experienced. To really have to think about my life ending and how I'd spend the time I had left. I will always be grateful for that moment. I knew I would do anything to live. I don't believe in God anymore but it was a borderline spiritual experience. It's definitely made me wonder again about whether there is more to life than what we see. The prospect of surgery was terrifying. It was like knowing I was going to be in a car crash, but one that would save my life. I was bracing myself for the intense trauma my body was going to endure. I was scared and I cried a lot. But I knew it was preferable to leaving that tumour in there to destroy me. The recovery was exceptionally painful at times. I cannot believe the levels of pain that the human body can endure without blacking out. I still have a lingering level of pain now but I can totally deal with it in a way that I wouldn't have been able to before. The scale of the agony has totally reframed what I consider to be a bad time. Handy when you're a Forest fan. I've got a few issues as a result of the surgery. I have a stoma, I have to self-catheterise, I've got stress incontinence and I've got erectile dysfunction. But these are all small prices to pay for being alive. Some smaller than others. The main thing is I caught it early. (Relatively. My oncolgist thinks it could have been on my spine for five years, but chordomas are slow growing). The thought of that little fucker being inside me, working against me all that time is weird. Five years! It'd been in there since Theresa May was Prime Minister! You know your own body. If there's something wrong, please get it checked. Whatever it is. Ignoring it won't make it go away. Hopefully you get told that it's nothing, but if it's bad news it's less bad if you catch it early. One huge benefit is that lager tastes incredible. I cannot explain this, but since my operation, lager tastes even more refreshing than it did before. That has not diminished in the last two years. Maybe there is a God.
