Absolutely gutted to hear that my ex QPR team mate Micheal Robinson has passed away today. Robbo was my room mate on away trips and was such a nice guy. He was a brilliant story teller as well as a top player. RIP my friend x❤️

RIP Stan Bowles. Skill, flair, flamboyance and a real character on and off the pitch. Proud to say I played in his testimonial game and to be on the same pitch as him was such a great honour. Another of the great mavericks lost. X

Extremely sad to hear that the great Jack Charlton has passed away. I can’t thank him enough for selecting me for the Ireland squads in those brilliant days of the euros and the World Cup in 88 and 90 taking me to places I could only have dreamt of as a kid. RIP Big Jack x

I couldn’t see much wrong with Maupays challenge. As an ex striker I think we’ve all done that in the past without malice. Unfortunate that he landed badly. I’ve had keepers clatter in to me many a time after I’ve played the ball. Part of the game. Hope Leno recovers soon.

Football will never be the same until you get fans back in the stadiums. Anyone whoever played will tell you a behind closed door friendly is nothing like playing in front of a passionate crowd.
