Finally got to see the #bhafc documentary, Stand or Fall. It was an enjoyable, emotional watch. Nice to see so many friends in it, and I’m particularly proud of the contribution my mum and dad made. Bravo 👏🏻

Went back to the Mestalla for a ground tour and was delighted to spot a picture of the best player I’ve ever seen in a #bhafc shirt #Valènciafc #valenciacf #vicente

Went to the Camp de Mestalla last night to watch Valencia’s calamitous 2-1 defeat to Oviedo (1-0 up, missed a pen, conceded in 85th and 86th minute!). What a magnificent old stadium though. What an atmosphere! 😍🦇 #valenciacf #valenciafc #laliga #mestalla #football #footballawaydays

Celebrating Spinal Tap 2 release day with my exact inner structure done in a tee shirt. Exactly medically accurate. This is what I sleep in sometimes.🤘 #spinaltap #theendcontinues #spinaltap2 #movie #film

Great performance! Very professional throughout. Although, if Jason Steele hadn’t played quite so well I’d have won £81, as I had a quid on a 6-1 win at 80/1! #bhafc

What a brilliant night with @mrjimbob.bsky.social and his new music at Rough Trade. His two new albums are superb.

My first #England women's game was a poorly attended loss to the USSR at The Goldstone as a kid in the 90s. Who would have dreamed that 3 decades on we’d be celebrating back-to-back Euros wins? This brilliant team are fantastic role models as were the trailblazers who preceded them #bhafc #Lionesses

Felt very lucky to be at the #Lionesses victory parade outside Buckingham Palace. What a turnout, what an atmosphere, what an historic occasion, what a team!
🦁🦁🦁🏆🏴 Never mind that the sound system seemed to comprise of one small bluetooth speaker, it was a joy to be there #england #euro25 #turnitup

We were at Wembley to see the Lionesses win the Euros last time, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Congratulations to the team for winning it AGAIN today. Their winning mentality is incredible. Now I need a lie down in a dark room. #england #lionesses

Another loft find. I can’t recall exactly when the players wore them, but these t-shirts were to celebrate the first of two back-to-back title wins. #bhafc

Another old #bhafc away shirt found in the loft. A fairly uninspiring kit which I don’t really remember. I reckon it’s from about 1993, judging by the manufacturer and sponsor. Is that right?

Found some more old Albion stuff in the loft. Here’s a replica away shirt from the 90s. Was this the away kit in the great escape season? I can’t remember (I think my mind has blacked out most away games from that season because of how terrible we were on the road). #bhafc 🟡⚫️

I also got Gazza’s autograph. Can’t remember if it was at this game or at the other match he played at The Goldstone around that time, for England B against Italy B. Toto Schillaci also played in the latter and I got his signature too. It finished 1-1, and was pre-Italia 90. #bhafc #PaulGascoigne

Found in the loft… This might look like a ball from the school playground but it was actually a #bhafc matchball which Paul Gascoigne scored twice with in Graham Moseley’s testimonial at The Goldstone! #bhafc v Spurs in about 1990. I think a young David James played that night too.

Farewell to one of the all-time musical geniuses. I was lucky enough to see Brian Wilson play in my hometown of Eastbourne a few years ago, and I’ll be spinning this truly incredible record tonight 💔🏄 #brianwilson

Not only does my wife @jaynecheeseman.bsky.social produce and appear on the brilliant Chris Evans Breakfast Show on Virgin Radio UK, but she has also just produced Adam & Joe’s first radio show together for 14 years. Amazing! Listen back to the 3-hour show here: virginradio.co.uk/play/virginr...
