After 24years at Sky Sports we have announced my departure.I have loved every minute & the memories will live with me forever.Working with Jeff & the boys has been Unbelievable!And the special days on Goals on Sunday with Ben Shephard who has become a great pal. I’ve had a blast!
Just wanted to let a few of you know who tweeted me today that I am ok ish. Alongside my Thyroid problem I have developed Apraxia of Speech & have been working to get my speech back to normal. Some days it can be a little slow and some days it’s normal. Hopefully I can beat this!
In May 1976 after playing 4Pompey at Sunderland,Team bus stopped for fish&chips in Wetherby.All players piled in pub opposite & I was told we don’t serve your kind in here 🤦🏾♂️ last night over 3,000 people turned up to see me put on the Crimbo lights🎄The world is a better place 😊

@SteveBartlettSC
Diary of a CEO podcast. It was only recorded last Friday so yesterday really took me by surprise 😳
I can’t respond to everyone, but many thanks to all for the support and messages, which haven’t gone unnoticed - I’m very grateful.
My wife just asked me “as someone who can’t do two things a once, how come you have just watched two football matches at the same time” I had to say “I dunno Jeff” 😂🤣 well it made me laugh 🤭
Horrendous walk down Wembley way, ended up dodging bottles and beer thrown in the air & walking on broken glass all the way 🤷🏽♂️ what is wrong with people 😩
Last 19 months have been the most challenging of my life.Before then i thought I was invincible💪🏾.7 months ago i was diagnosed with an under active Thyroid🦋My mental health suffered because I didn’t let people know how I was feeling🤷🏽♂️don’t be a mug like me
#WorldMentalHealthDay
Having suffered in silence myself for 18 months, I am now one month on after finding out my problem is Hypothyroidism! With medication I am on the mend😊Really brought it home 2me that nobody knows what’s going on inside your head unless you tell somebody

Today we remember the 56 football fans who tragically lost their lives in the Bradford fire disaster 37 years ago. 54 Bradford City fans & 2 Lincoln City fans went to watch a football match! Gone but never forgotten

Today’s story is news to me 🤷🏽♂️ even though some of you have noticed that I’ve had a few weeks off sky sports I’m back on the 12th March. Looking forward to seeing Jeff and the SoccerSaturday gang again
This Sunday sees the last day at Sky for the best broadcaster I have ever met
@JeffStelling
. I am getting my tribute in early because Jeff has been a massive part of my life & I love him to bits. One of the things I do miss is working with the maestro 😢 There will never be…
Devastated to hear the news 😢 RIP Luca - a fabulous career and a great fella. A wonderful life has been cut short. I am well and truly gutted 😢 Gianluca Vialli it was an honour to have known you

Today’s the day we remember the 56 football fans who lost their lives in the Bradford City fire disaster. Heartbreaking that they never returned home after watching the sport they loved. Gone but never forgotten. RIP
My condolences to everyone who has lost family or friends due to Covid19. Today though we should remember the 56 people who went to watch a football match between Bradford City and Lincoln City but never returned home - RIP the 56 who died, gone but must never be forgotten

🗣 - "I saw him go off but I thought they were bringing a sub on!"
Thank you so much to everyone for your best wishes 😊 Twitter can be a wonderful platform 🥰 The response about my Apraxia has been overwhelming 👏🏻👏🏽Unfortunately for you viewers this is not the end of me 😂 but “Live TV” might have to take a back seat at the moment. Thank you 🙏🏾
I have chewed on this since Tuesday night & realise I am a still a Dinosaur 🦖 I’m sorry and accept that I was in the wrong & hopefully wont do it again. I got the Tube from Heathrow to Kings X. It got busy at Earls Court so, I offered a mature lady my seat 💺 “why would I need…
Today we remember the 56 who died in the Bradford City Stadium Fire. As a former Manager & player of the club it is still heartbreaking that this happened in its history. My thoughts are with all the families & fans who are still grieving.
Just been told that Tammy Prescott has sadly died. Tammy and her husband Lintyn accompanied me to Downing Street in February. Tammy & I handing over a petition to Number 10 calling for changes to stop people like her dying in poverty.
Tammy had been undergoing intensive…
Big thank you to everyone for all your best wishes. Still pinching myself on the lovely words from the Prince of Wales
@KensingtonRoyal

@benshephard

Watching my dads country Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 play Algeria 🇩🇿 in today’s African Nations Cup. Had the chance over the years to play for them but Bobby Robson told me to me to wait by the phone ☎️ 😂🤣 it’s still not rung must have the wrong number for me 😂🤣
Just heard the sad news about Motty 😢 Had the pleasure of working with the legendary John Motson on numerous occasions - a true gent. Such a lovely man RIP Motty
Unfortunately whilst away working last Saturday my beloved Shetland pony Murphy had a seizure & died. Over the last few years family & Erin & Ebony have looked after the horses more than me. He had been with us for most of his 26 years & to say I miss him is an understatement 😢
Today is the 38th anniversary of the Bradford City v Lincoln game, that tragic day in 1985 when a fire broke out and 56 football fans whose love of football cost them their lives. Gone but never forgotten RIP
Out with the family 🥰 Happy New Year to everyone 🥳 🙌 🍾 Big thanks to everybody for all the fantastic support you have given to me throughout 2023 ❤️ Never believe the game is up! People are amazing & the help is out there, be it family, friends, the football family ⚽️ or…
Oh no, just heard Trevor Francis has passed away. What a player he was & what a gentleman. Got to know him well when Trevor was doing his Co Commentary’s for Sky a job he loved. RIP Trevor the first Million pound player who always looked a million dollars 😢
Wow 🤩 what a reception at half time from the fans 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 it’s hard to put into words without getting emotional 😢 what all that meant today 🥰 Thank you 🙏🏾
Just filling up the charity bag with old clobber & stumbled upon my wedding suit shirt & tie 👰 🤵 May 29th 1982 & it still fits 😳 think I have put a couple pounds on 🤷🏽♂️ 🤣😂
Some people judge when they really have no idea what is going on in someone’s head. Once it’s out in the open Dele, that is the day you start healing ❤️🩹
I’m struggling to find the words to put with this post but please watch my most recent interview with Dele. It’s the most emotional, difficult yet inspirational conversation I’ve ever had in my life. Watch the interview on

What a day to take the day off! Incredible final day that was ⚽️ in fact “Unbelievable Jeff” 🥳🥳 SoccerSaturday is no more for me 😢 even when it’s on a Sunday 😂🤣
Gutted to hear Terry Venables has passed away. Top player & a fantastic manager 👏🏼👏🏼 I got to know the person & he was a great bloke. Great memories of being with him in his club Scribes in Kensington back in the late 90s. RIP Terry 🙏🏾
