Super Kev: a goal machine, a giant of a man, with an even bigger heart. An intensely private and a truly wonderful human being. I’m devastated for his loved ones, and all of us. Love you Super Kev, Skipper 💔🙏🏻

Today an estimated 400 people in the UK will attempt suicide - and 18 will die. But there is hope. And there is help. We all have to open our mouths, and ask. Let’s start talking openly about suicide. You can save a life with a question... 1/2

I’ll always remember Scotts Restaurant, Feb ‘95 - the first time I sat down properly with Terry. We talked and laughed and he listened. Charming, funny, with a football brain and a way to him that was second to none. One of the greatest coaches England has ever produced.
