Another tough trip for Exeter heading to Charlton this afternoon. Still plenty of work to do in order to climb away from that league one danger zone. Let’s hope they can continue from last weeks win at Cambridge 👊👊 Cmon The Grecians #ecfc

I was lucky enough to play on Goodison for Man Utd’s reserves. On the same day, a certain Ryan Giggs made his 1st team debut in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford. Always sad to see stadia go, but Bramley-Moore Dock looks absolutely incredible. Cmon Utd 👊👊🇾🇪

A Man Utd e-mail which threatens people who leak information with the sack has been leaked.

A piece I composed at the beginning of February details the financial breakdown at the club and the significant issues caused by nearly two decades of economic mismanagement by absent owners. For anyone trying to make sense of it all following Jamie Jackson’s exclusive.👇🏻 #MUFC

Remembering Eric Harrison. Sadly died on this day, 2019. A tough, old school, steely coach who instilled the importance of character, mental fortitude and resilience within youth players. There was no comprising with Eric! He said, you did……very quickly or else ha ha! RIP #mufc

RIP Denis The King 🌹🇾🇪

Sir Matt and a very young Sir Bobby heading to Blue Stars, Switzerland with the Busby Babes in 1954 and 37 years later accompanying a Man Utd youth side in 1991. I was incredibly lucky indeed and totally humbled to be in the company of giants. RIP 🌹🌹🇾🇪

On this day, Jan 27th, 1993, The Grecians visited top of the table Stoke City. A battling, spirited performance (down to 10 men for a while) allowed Exeter to come away with a 1-1 draw 👊👊 The two sides have never met since!
