Jimmy McCracken

Happy birthday @winghalf6 All the best Tony

@ObaDerby @premierleague @BrentfordFC @Everton Is right lad. You took the words right out of my mouth. I think. Well in Drewsbury. 😎

Drewsbury Hall scores… 2-2. Game don scatter finish 😂 From control to chaos. Brentford FC thought say dem don lock am, now Everton FC don drag them back inside fire. This na the kind match wey no get structure again, just vibes and mistakes. If you dey watch this live, no even blink… one more goal dey come.

A late, late Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall equaliser sees @BrentfordFC and @Everton share the points 🌦️

@Liverpool120 Thank you Ray. That’s really nice of you. I feel I’m better than I was a while back. Not fully back to how I used to be but I’m deffo making progress. Good luck to you.

@jkmccracken I hope you're feeling strong and healthy Jimmy...Have a great 2026...

@annewillia Happy Birthday to you! x

I might just tell them what I'd really like from them for my birthday😡

@Bluestocking63 @winghalf6 Yes! Love it! That shirt is a one off. Unique. Only one of its kind. Just like the man whose picture is displayed upon it. I am and always will be a fan. Thanks Becky. Hope you’re well Tony.

Came across this last night while trying to free up space on my phone 🙈 💙💪🏼 @jkmccracken @winghalf6

@toffeebird9 Hiya Andrea. Great to hear from you. I’m okay thanks. A lot better than I was. Still a little wobbly on my legs at the moment. Need to build meself up a bit. I’ve been very inactive for a long time. Hope you are ok. Hope to see you soon. All the best.

@jkmccracken @ALANMYERSMEDIA Hope you’re well Jim … #Upthetoffees

Great to to spend a couple of hours today with my old pal @jkmccracken. One of the finest, funniest broadcasters I've had the pleasure to work with 👌 We miss you Jim @bbcmerseyside

@jayeffkew Hiya. I’m doing ok thank you. Had a few days visiting family last week. Enjoyed one day of sunshine on Monday and now I’m looking forward to meeting one of my best mates tomorrow for a gab and eating and drinking loads over the rest of the weekend! Hope all is good with you.

@jkmccracken Jimmy hope you’ve had a good positive week

Nobody has helped me more than @snellyradio. His friendship and support has been invaluable. I’ve learnt so much from him and @BillyButlerMBE over the years. I’ll be forever grateful to them both. I hope they know that. #EveryDaysABonus

@WayneAClarke Hiya Wayne. Thank you very much for this. It’s very kind. I’d say I’m definitely on the mend. It’s great that you took the time to get in touch. Hope everything is going well for you. All the best.

@jkmccracken @paulsaltysalt @katiehaseldine @Thefullminty Jimmy, it's good to hear you're recovering. Keep on pressing on. All the best to you.

Now, after love and support from my family, and friends like @paulsaltysalt @katiehaseldine @Thefullminty and Harriet Gulliver, I’m feeling stronger and better than I was.

@WSAGraham Graham that’s really good of you to say that. Thank you very much. It means a great deal to me. I enjoyed Seventies Heaven immensely too. I’m getting better thanks. Not quite match fit yet but better than I was. Good luck to you. Hope to bump into before too long.

@jkmccracken @bbcmerseyside Your 70s thingy was the best show on there. Loved the way it covered the whole decade not just the glam pastiche stuff. Hope you’re well.

I left the bbc and my many friends @bbcmerseyside several months ago. I was extremely tired. Felt I’d run out of steam. I felt very uncertain about a lot of things. Probably enough just to say, I definitely wasn’t my usual self.

@Benny1974 Thanks Lee mate. Really nice to hear from you. I am feeling better than I was, thanks. Yeah, it’ll be 27 years in about six weeks! Seems a long time ago. We had a few laughs didn’t we? 😁 Thanks for getting in touch. Lots of love to you too.

@jkmccracken @snellyradio @BillyButlerMBE Good to hear you’re feeling better Jim. Wishing you all the best mate. Can’t believe it was nearly 27 years ago that me and you started at Radio M around the same time. Good times. Keep your head up mate. Lots of love x

@RadloFanatic That’s very kind of you. Thank you. And good luck with everything you do too! All the best.

@jkmccracken @bbcmerseyside Wishing you all the best, Jimmy

@Petermcdowall10 Thanks Peter. That’s really nice of you mate. I seem to remember we had a laugh or two didn’t we? It’d be great to meet up soon. I’ll be in touch. Thanks again. All the best and good luck to you.

@jkmccracken @bbcmerseyside One of the best parts of working there was you, Jim. Let’s catch up when you’re feeling up to it ❤️💙

Made up to bump into @FinoEFC recently. Great to see him. Best of luck to him and @TommyFleetwood1 this week @ScottishOpen @Renaissancegc. Great start today. And next week @TheOpen @RoyalTroonGC in beautiful #ayrshire Good luck boys💙

@ConnorPhillips Nearly phoned to say “have you thought about Jimmy McCracken in the last 12 months?”But that would have been silly because I know you have. And it means a great deal to me that you have.Thanks very much mate. I’d love to meet for a pint next time I’m near you.From some arl fella.

@jkmccracken @snellyradio @BillyButlerMBE Jimmy - sending love from across the water. Hope you are doing well - if you are over here I’ll have a pint waiting for you! 🍺

@GregOK That’s really kind of you mate. Thank you very much. It’s a shame it’s over but it’s probably for the best right now. Probably. Things weren’t quite the way they used to be. I’ll message you some time and we can talk. Maybe meet for a tea and a butty. Good luck to you Greg.

@jkmccracken @bbcmerseyside Really miss hearing you on air mate - top man and top broadcaster

@darcyteague That sounds like a good idea Helen! I’d like that. I’ll email you at work and we can sort something out. All the best.

@jkmccracken @snellyradio @BillyButlerMBE Jimmy!!! Let’s meet, you and @snellyradio were there for me at the start… 25 years ago!!! Would love to meet up and navigate the crap bits of life we’ve both had, with you … big hugs mate x

@DavefcKelly Thank you Dave. That’s very generous of you. I’m very grateful. Thank you for all the times you’ve helped me. There’s been plenty of them. Good luck to you too.

@jayeffkew Thank you very much Jay. That’s very kind of you. Non scholae sed vitae to you too! 😁

@jkmccracken @snellyradio @BillyButlerMBE From one ex Salesian boy to another (I hated the place!!) Yours were some of the best shows on Merseyside. Hope you’re feeling recharged very soon We’ll done to your mates for holding you up Take care
