Now that the sun has set, a reminder that one hundred and twenty-eight years ago today, Bram Stoker’s magnum opus was first published in London. The appeal of this Victorian Gothic novel wasn’t instant but its influence has irresistibly pervaded popular culture ever since. #WorldDraculaDay

Next time the FA goes on about how important fans are to the game, remember this (among other examples). This has genuinely made me angry. Not fit to run the game

THE SHINING was released 45 years ago today. Not a huge success on its release, it has gone down as one of Stanley Kubrick’s most popular films and most influential horror movies ever made. The behind-the-scenes story will go on forever… and ever… and ever 1/34

I watched one match at Goodison Park. Everton v Birmingham City some time around 2002. 0-0 and Thomas Gravesen had the worst game I've ever seen from a professional footballer. Even worse than that Wayne Fairclough one at Saltergate in the mid-90s

The playoffs. A bit like a medical procedure that you don't want to have but know that, despite the pain and worry, might make things a lot better. I'll have a double anaesthetic please. Come on Town. #Spireites

Any mention of Kevin Davies gets a like from me, but I'm honour-bound to point out that he was a skinny whelp of a lad in his early (i.e. best) days #Spireites

Good of the lads to take note of my recollection of Wayne Allison's close-range goals today. By my reckoning, 4 goals from an aggregate of 5.5 yards 📏

Scouts from other clubs often sat near us in the main stand at Saltergate. I vividly remember one loudly declaring Steve Gaughan to be "very pedestrian", shortly before he burst forward from midfield and outpaced the defence to score ⚽ #Spireites
