Oh wow. An extraordinary day at Ashton Gate. The applause before the game was truly humbling and being hijacked on air was sensational. A day I will remember for ever. Thank you all so, so much.

Just thanked a young man who was stocking the supermarket shelves. He said 'it's ok, I'm only part-time.' I told him he is very much full-time and that he and his colleagues are doing an incredible job. He smiled and thanked me. Bless him. It's important to show appreciation.

I remember going into Bob's office to be told I wasn't getting a pro contract. He had his slippers on! I had a uni place to train as a PE teacher. He told me in a totally inoffensive way I'd probably make a better PE teacher than footballer. A wonderful man and football genius.

Sad, sad news. What a diamond of a man. Condolences and best wishes to everyone affected by the news.
Bristol Rovers is saddened to learn of the passing of former player, Graham Day.
The Bristol-born defender joined Rovers in the mid-'70s and went on to make over 130 appearances.
Our condolences are extended to Graham's family and friends at this difficult time.
