🚨 A call for help. On Saturday we were burgled. They took valuables which can be replaced but they also stole my grandad’s WW2 medals. In the same tin were his dad’s medals from WW1. These are incredibly important to me and my family and I’m desperate to get them back.

Mum died, very peacefully, aged 93 at home about 8.15 tonight. Very well looked after at end by Russell’s Hall Hospital and Snowdrop Home Care. If I were a believer could imagine her arriving at the Pearly Gates together with Priscilla. A long life, well and happily lived

@FoyChris You definitely should Chris. You’ve probably clocked up plenty already?

Hope the game will be better than the photo. Bramall Lane buzzing as you’d expect for the visit of Leeds United.

@JackoRugby @RugbyWriters @SportSJA Lovely, Jacko. A beautiful appreciation and fitting tribute. I hope you quadruple-checked it for any minor grammar error before pressing send.

Sometimes there are pieces you wish you never had to write. This one, through my tears, attempts to explain why Steve Bale was a rugby writer like no other. We are all the poorer for his passing, not least the game itself. ⁦@RugbyWriters⁩ ⁦@SportSJA

@RUWCOfficial Very sad news. What a colleague and what a bloke. Kind, generous and warm, he was the best of the best in our profession. I will always picture him doing The Times crossword in his press seat ahead of a big game as his pre-match warm-up. Always completed it too.

We are devastated to share that our great friend Steve Bale has passed away. A giant of our trade, he covered 400 Tests, seven World Cups and seven Lions tours for the Western Mail, Independent, Express and Sunday Times. We remember his talent, his warmth, and his singing.

Jude Bellingham has surged onto the cover of the new paperback edition of my England men's team biography (1872-2024). Updated, and published on 23 May, in good time for the European Championship.... @simonschusterUK

@Mike_Dickson_DM So sad. Great colleague, travel mate and journalist. If you can, at such a terrible time, please try to draw strength from the affection in which Mike was held by all whose lives were enriched by his company. RIP Dicko.
