@mcdermottkc_ He took me to Edwatds an incredible shoe shop on Deansgate on the same day and bought me a pair of Crockett and Jones shoes. Another great experience, sadly gone now.

@davydoran41 It was … such quality … and Margaret (?) who made the trousers had such skills too

Too early for a lightweight summer suit ? … another 30 year old favourite from Andrew Tryfon

@14thefrog @AFCWimbledon Spot on! The passion when he roused the crowd to get behind the team was incredible to witness! A leader! I'm not Welsh but I love their word HWYL. He has it in bucket loads!

Doncaster v @AFCWimbledon Player ratings: Joe Lewis-An absolutely monumental display from our inspirational centre half. He got the highly rated Street taken off, got Billy Sharp sent off then nearly won it with a lung bursting surge & shot. Incredible & joint MOM 10/10

@Chtoulouse31 I did. It was at Sale FC. They were with Andy McFarlane who I met through a mutual friend. I always lived in Culcheth/Croft but my mum is now in Warburton near Lymm. I got the tram from Navigation Road. You have to love rugby dont you! Just off to watch us v Met Police!

@davydoran41 Hi Dave Hope you're well. Apparently, whilst visiting your mum in Culcheth, you met a couple of friends, Roy and John, who used to play rugby at Sale Rugby with Jimmy Quinn and l. They send their regards. Small world. Pleased to see the OWs are doing well. Talk soon

My 2nd article & its about things that are good in rugby! 26 live games from Level 1 to 11, a lot @oldwimrfc & SW London but also a impromptu visit to @LymmRugbyClub where I knew no one was bought a pre-match pint & had a chat to Varun at half time. open.substack.com/pub/david876/p…

@NJC_Commentator Absolutely wonderful, so good. RIP

The great Alastair Down was the most wonderful wordsmith indeed 👏🏼

@lukehaddonsmale @ApsmRugby @MikeBubbins I was thinking exactly the same! Some showreel! @TheBlade27

@ApsmRugby A video I think @MikeBubbins will enjoy 👍🏼

Canadian forward Al Charron scores tries against New Zealand (1991), Australia (1995) & South Africa (2000) and a great team try vs Romania (1995)

I listened to your beautiful chat today about your mum @dionfanning with @JoeBrolly1993 It resonated with me about my "old man" and what he didn't see "And suddenly when it happened, There was so much left unsaid, No second chance to tell him thanks, For everything he'd done"

@LymmRugbyClub Also I'm President at a cracking little club in SW London @oldwimrfc we have a vibrant M & J section. Be sure to get in touch if your Juniors ever need a game "on tour" in London, we are very handy for Twickenham by train and we will always see what we can do.

@LymmRugbyClub I will, I'm usually watching club rugby in SW London but circumstances led to me being up here today. I could be watching you guys down there next season!

7 wins FROM 7 ✅ 35 points from 35 📈 Top of the league 🔝

@WayneBarnesRef @JasonLeonard114 Watching the Quins v Sarries game and I've Just been telling SA pals about Phil Keith-Roach being the seminal "guru" of scrummaging. He won't remember me but I was lucky enough to have some sessions with him at Cambridge in 1992! Incredible man.

It doesn’t matter how many international caps you’ve had, England’s 2003 World Cup winning coach, Phil Keith-Roach, still always teaches you a thing or three.

@FindingCotton @premrugby @thetimes Your "serious but not serious" take on things makes me giggle every week! A privilege to watch their home debuts. Two crackling lads. Its been brilliant to see their rugby journey since it started in 2014. Very proud of what they're achieving.

🆕 It’s a big weekend of ⁦@premrugby⁩ 🍑 Get to know Bath’s latest sensation 🤢 The record Exeter do NOT want 🏀 Northampton + Harlequins = Guaranteed points 🏆 Just give England the World Cup now? Read more ⁦@thetimes⁩ ⬇️ thetimes.com/article/7e9704… #GallagherPrem

Great afternoon watching @LondonBroncosRL v @LeighLeopardsRL if you had told me 31 years ago when I moved to Wimbledon that I would see Leigh play there at the top level! Great game, atmosphere & product. Surely @SuperLeague must have a presence in London.

@Athersmike Great article. Two brilliant writers!

Really enjoyed chatting to David Peace recently about his wonderful new book Munichs, which I highly recommend thetimes.com/article/5a245c…

@freestateirl @JoeBrolly1993 @dionfanning Im pretty sure "The Parting Glass" at the end of the episode was the one sung at The Albert Hall with Peter Coughlan. A great fella, incredible singer and guitarist with a beautiful voice!

“Tommy guns, car chases & All Irelands. The life and times of a great Irish man.” Our latest episode out now via 🔗 in bio

@AFCWimbledon @leewillett88 Top work from Lee and his team!!

Flags in place for the big kick-off 🫡 A big thank you to @leewillett88 and the team for their hard work! 🤝 #AFCW 🟡🔵
