Heavy heart this morning, just heard that Cyrille Regis has passed away age 59. He was more than just a footballer, he blazed a trail for every black player who followed him, an inspiration to myself and many players of my era. A humble man and a great man.
#RIPC
A tough day for those in attendance, but a wonderful send off for The Bartman. Happy to have played a small part of his journey. Rest well my friend. #ChrisBartWilliams@swfc 💙 @NFFC ❤️
RIP, Trevor Francis.
Trev signed me when he was player/manager at @swfc The club experienced some great times in the early 90’s, both Trev his wife Helen, were very kind in helping me to settle in at the club, I greatly appreciated it then & now. Love to sons Matthew & James.
My heart is heavy, RIP my former @swfc team mate Chris Bart-Williams, a wonderfully gifted player, with a huge personality, and a very charismatic guy. To know him was to love him, sending love to his family, friends and former team mates. #RIPBartman
Many congratulations to @cpfc Player Of The Year, Aaron Wan-Bissaka incredible journey, 40 Premier League games in 14 months. An inspiration to all those youngsters in our Academy. 👏🏽👏🏽
With a smile that could light up a stadium, bucket fulls of charisma, engaging, funny, respectful & warm, a great person and player. Sending love & condolences to his family, friends, former team mates and colleagues. RIP Big Man.
Matchday 38.
Today we say farewell to two @cpfc players who’ve played a massive part in this clubs history. Jason Puncheon a former academy player who went on to captain his club & Julian Speroni, a 15yr servant, a humble & incredible man, good luck to you both JP & JS 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Everyone has a story to tell.
I feel the time is right to talk about my journey. My book is out on the 7th November, you can pre-order it right here here littlebrown.co.uk/titles/mar…

I love this John Barnes interview. Gonna keep this here as I know it’ll be relevant for years to come. People need to understand how important the media is in influencing society...have a watch. 🧐
Can't ask for more than that for Jos Luhukay's first game in charge, organised, hard working and resolute, with all those injuries and down to ten men, plenty to be optimistic about. Enjoy the rest of your weekend you Wednesdayites.

Our fans...... I might be wrong, but is there any other group of fans in any of the UK leagues who can get close to what our guys do? Well done to all involved.
Gutsy win tonight, especially coming from a goal behind. It's now one defeat in the last eleven games, well done the management and players, superb travelling support yet again in horrific weather. Onwards & upwards #cpfc 🔴🔵
The 14 smaller clubs in the @premierleague don't deserve an equal share of the money says @jasoncundy05 You really would like to squash the competition completely wouldn't you Jay, not content with a billionaire owner, you want more and the smaller clubs less. Just like in Spain.
The 18-year-old defender has an inspirational story having spent his early life in a wheelchair after being diagnosed with Perthes Disease, a rare childhood condition that affects the hips, so his pro debut in the @FACup possibly meaning a little bit more to him than others. 🔵⚪️
What a day, Sat and watched nearly all of it. I’ve never seen anything likes it before, nor will l see it again, magnificent ceremony, well done to all our armed services, amazing from start to finish,
RIP HM Queen Elizabeth Il.
Hard to say who the team going for promotion was there.
Well done @swfc keep those clean sheets coming, there’s every chance of making the play-offs.
#massive#wawaw
I grew up listening to this legend on @BBCMOTD before I knew it, he was commentating on a game l was playing in, then l end up sitting next to him doing co commentary at the World Cup, thank you for the memories Motty. #RIP
I didn’t say last year. The game is about goals, flare, entertainment, imo. Messi is genius, we will always see good defenders but we won’t always see special players like Messi or CR7.
My mentor, manager, coach & friend, congratulations John Rudge on your statue at Vale Park, much appreciated by the fans and ex player alike, very well deserved. @OfficialPVFC
Former clubs recognition. Many congratulations to Danny Röhl his staff, the fans and players of @swfc for keeping the Owls in the Championship. Congratulations to @LCFC commiserations to @OfficialPVFC
Congratulations @leektown champions NPLWD
A difficult day for football, well done @GaryLineker@jjenas8 and Phil Neville on #MOTD
Speedy recovery to Glen Hoddle and thoughts with all connected with @LCFC
Good luck to @Official_HUFC for the remainder of the season, the fans, players, staff and all those in the boardroom have been a credit to their club today, that includes you @JeffStelling 👍🏾
Saddened to hear our @swfc coach Ritchie Barker has passed. An important member of our team in 93 who reached the FA Cup and League Cup Finals in the same season. Vastly experienced, a good coach, great company, a good man, condolences to his family and friends.
Phew, what a day, luck plays a huge part in football, sometimes you are unlucky and sometimes you are lucky, when all’s said and done, after 25 games we’re 2pts behind Arsenal, 4pts from Tottenham.

Saddened at the devastating news for a former Crystal Palace team mate Lee Sinnott regarding his son Jordan’s tragic death this weekend. Sincere condolences to Lee, his family and friends.
#RIPJordanSinnott
Thank you to everyone who attended and played in the #GenerationCup today at @HitchinTownFC
Thank you for your hospitality and also to @MUFCYorkRoad who were the other team in the tournament, we’re not as good as we used to be, but we’re still good. @CPFC
Today we said goodbye to a humble, dedicated, giant of a man, Ernie Moss. Trophies don’t always define legendary status, actions do, hard work, desire, passion, attitude, he led from the front and practiced what he preached. Over 280 goals, no penalties, & no red cards. #Ledge
The word legend can be often be overused, not today, a #CPFC legend in every sense, an excellent servant and an incredible human being, wishing the very best of luck in whatever he decides to do next.
Julian Speroni
In the days when the play-off final was over 2 legs home and away, we were 3-1 down and needed to win by 3 clear goals, guess what?
For those old enough to remember it was a magical day, it's fair to say we've had plenty more of those days since.
#WeArePalace
Saddened to hear the news that former Premier League referee Uriah Rennie has sadly passed away at the age of 65. A trailblazer, a good referee and thoroughly decent person when ever I bumped into him off the pitch. Love & condolences to his family, former colleagues & friends. X
Excellent win today, been a while since we last won at Old Trafford in the league. Well done Jordan Ayew and PVA with the goals, safe home and enjoy your bank holiday weekend people. #cpfc
I’m currently taking part in a study into heading & it’s links to Dementia. We need more former players, men and women to get involved. Let’s help the younger generations of footballers so they don’t suffer like the older ones are now. SCORES

Well done and congratulations to Aaron Wan-Bissaka on his @premierleague debut. He's been in our academy for 9yrs, special praise to the manager Roy Hodgson and his staff for showing faith in Aaron in such an important match.
First of many
#cpfc
Wow, well done Keith Hill and @officialdale I don't care what anyone says, the FACup will never lose it's appeal when it produces magical moments like that, well done Steven Davies great touch and finish.
#FACup
There’s a difference between Goal of the season and Most important Goal of the season, judge a goal on its merits not it value if you’re running a competition.
Congratulations to @JeffStelling completing four marathons this week for @ProstateUK & looking as cool as ever. Well done to all those who walked with him and the thousands of you who’ve made donations.
Thank you very much. 😘
