Dearest Doddie you have inspired so many people on the rugby pitch and in your relentless campaigning for MND. We were lucky to call you a friend. To see you as the adoring husband to Cathy and the best Dad to Hamish, Angus and Ben was to really know you. We will all miss you 💙
Well that was lovely. Very proud of this MBE and such a lovely morning at Windsor Castle. Given by the Aston Villa fan Prince William. (For services to sports broadcasting and the promotion of women in sport).
It’s the waste I can’t get my head round. Such an environmentally unsound thing to do. Shout, scream, march, protest but wasting food when we have record numbers using food banks blows my mind.
I am extremely proud and very chuffed to have been awarded an MBE in the New Year’s Honours list. I have been so lucky to see close up the power sport has to entertain, inspire and change lives, I am so lucky my passion became my work.
Would it be ungenerous to suggest if the government did more to condemn racism and looked deeper into the reasons why we need to feed our poor with good banks in spite of being the 6th richest nation in the world then we might not need footballers with a conscience to intervene?
