It’s been a long and winding road over many, many years but it’s apparently all been leading up to me covering the World Cup for @bbcsport Genuinely living a dream. None of it feels real but I have a nice blend of pride and absolute panic tonight. Never ever give up on yourself.

Wembley writes its own scripts and Jodi Jones smashed it in the lead role on the big stage on Monday. Good of him to chat after, trophy in hand, sorry for getting the bottom lip wobbling @JodsJones but it's such an inspiring story of resilience #PUSB #NCFC bbc.co.uk/sport/football/art…

Somehow I've gone from Ryman League Div 1 South to the Premier League in under nine years, and all without a drop of oil money. Never give up on yourself, kids! Thanks to @markstokeswwfc @swmarshall1976 @thetalkofsport without whom I have no idea what I'd be doing with my life!

13 years of winging it, but still seems to be going ok 🤔 Lovely day at Lord’s for the @ECB_cricket Journalism Awards. Very proud to be part of a small but passionate @BBCSport 🏏 team recognised for ‘outstanding online coverage’… (puns not specifically highlighted though oddly)

Another one in the books, and a special one for @TeamGB. #MilanoCortinaOlympics2026 was the 8th Olympics I have covered, my 4th for BBC Radio and has some of my favourite memories of all. One last hit coming at 8.17am on @BBCRadioKent where it all began. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live/b…
