8 years ago today, I was the closest survivor of the Manchester Arena bombing. I didn’t know if I’d make it — but I did.
In 2017, my mates attended the Europa League final against Ajax not knowing if I would survive. They carried my spirit with them.
Today, 8 years on, we’re together in Bilbao for another European final. I’m here, I’m standing, I’m smiling — and I’m living proof that love, resilience, and unity can overcome the darkest of days.
This isn’t just about football. It’s about fighting back. It’s about friendship, survival, and never giving up.
Let’s do this for Manchester. Let’s do this for every survivor. Let’s do this for those we lost.

Eight years ago today, twenty-two innocent lives were tragically lost in the Manchester Arena attack.
The families of those who lost loved ones, and all those whose lives were changed immeasurably following the devastation on 22nd May 2017 are in our thoughts.

The police have now released images of the four blokes who mugged us for Wes's watch just by the Dakota Hotel heading back from Canal Street, Manchester in early Nov. It's resulted in likely permanent scarring of Wes's face and head injuries he's still recovering from (headaches, swelling).
These are just the 4 we remember that night - they match the description I tweeted on that day.
Please... share so we can get these off the streets and prevent anybody else going through what we did @lizziecundy @MailOnline @theJeremyVine @GranadaReports @TalkTV @SkyNewsLaura @BBCNWT @AndyBurnhamGM @TheSun #watchtheft #watchgang #rolexripper
Thanks to the lovely Will @GMPCityCentre for leading the investigation - he's been fab. And the fab @jameshjourno for raising awareness of the risks.

Wow. It’s 2024 and I’ve just had to crawl along the floor of this LOT Polish airline to get to the toilet during a flight back from Warsaw as “we don’t have onboard wheelchairs. It’s airline policy”. If you’re disabled and you can’t walk this is just discriminatory.
