UEFA A Coaching Licence passed today ✅...In 2018 I was forced to retire from Captaining my country but in 2 years I have passed both my UEFA B & A licence & I am now head coach for the 🏴 U21 CP Team. I have huge ambitions for the future but dream come true today☺️
Incorrect. Myself & other disability footballers have scored more in major tournaments for England. The media must do better with this. Take nothing away from the 3 players. But everyone deserves the correct credit for what they have achieved 👍🏼⚽️🏴
Absolutely delighted to announce that I have signed for premier league side Wolves FC. I will be taking up an ambassador role with their foundation helping support the inspirational work they are doing in the local community. Proud! ☺️⚽️🙌🏼

I am delighted to announce that I am now Assistant Coach to the England CP Senior Team as well as continuing my role as Head Coach for the Development Team 🏴
I am so proud ☺️…thank you to everybody who has supported me along the way. Now to prepare for the Euro’s!! 🦁🏆⚽️
Don’t let fear hold you back from achieving your goals. There was a time when I said I would never coach ⚽️ because it would remind me of what could have been. Luckily, I worked through that and went for it, Over the moon to receive this 2day!

What a proud moment this weekend to be part of the coaching team for the England CP Seniors Squad 🏴
A huge milestone in my coaching journey & an opportunity to reflect on what I have managed to achieve in the sport ☑️ A Player, a Captain & now coached at senior level! ☺️⚽️🦁🏴
A momentous moment in my life & my speaking career. Today I spoke at for UEFA at the EQUAL GAME CONFERENCE. A huge platform to raise awareness for disability football. So unbelievably proud right now!! ☺️⚽️❤️💡✅

As a kid you dream of playing for your Country but never think about the influence you could have on someones life. Bryan didn’t want to play ⚽️ because of his disability but after seeing a video about me, he took up CP ⚽️ & is now an Eng U12’s player & a IFCPF youth ambassador☺️

😂this guy! Pogba has won the World Cup. Seria A & he’s already won the Europa League with .... wait for it, Manchester United. He doesn’t drink, never been in trouble. Gives to charity. Family man. Intelligent. Fluent in many languages.Awful for young players him 🤷🏼♂️ poor from U!
15 years on from that tragic night, I am in the best mental state yet 🧠
I have my confidence back & believe I can achieve anything I set my mind to 🎯 This week I have coached for my Country 🏴 delivered sessions for pro ⚽️ clubs & I have told my story to another 1000 people!☺️
@utdxtra
Before De Bruyn set up the 2 goals against Tottenham, he gave the ball away (unforced errors) 3 times minimum and even miss controlled a simple pass off the pitch. No one cared. Because eventually his quality will shine through. Pogba it’s different. A proper agenda by media.
@SkySportsNews
Are you actually being serious? 😂 England’s & Manchester United’s all time record goal scorer, the best player ever along with Messi - Ronaldo & prime Teves. Not even a discussion.
We are into the European Championship Final ☺️ The best feeling I’ve ever had in football! ⚽️Well done to all the players & staff 🏴 1 more big performance to go! 🦁🏴⚽️🏆

Mbappe is not only one of the best players in the world already at 22 years of age. But can speak French, Spanish & English really well. Has a huge personality & humble with it. The power of personnel development 👏🏼💡🎯👌🏼

Sports personality of the year. Thought I’d watch the football recap. Zero mention of the 4 England Para teams that medaled in major tournaments. Really is a shame. It’s the major broadcasters like the BBC who we need to help us grow. Do better please!! 👍🏼
OMG

CP ⚽️ team into another world cup semi-final!!well done boys! Some good luck messages from other England teams would be great & a visit from David Beckham would be very well appreciated 🦁🦁🦁 absolutely buzzing!! So proud. My best mate

Billy Monger is the sports personality of the year as far as I’m concerned. What a legend. Inspirational young man with such a positive attitude after an horrendous accident!! ❤️
14 years ago today I was criminally assaulted in an unprovoked attack & spent 3 weeks in intensive care 🏥
My mum is the single biggest reason I am still alive today & here is me sharing a moment I find very hard 🥹❤️
I will continue to work hard to make you proud mum ⚽️✅🎯
I reckon the only Paralympic team not invited to SPOTY was the England CP team 😂 what's up with that? It's not like we got to a World Cup semi final or anything is it 🙄better go win the Euro's then. Get team of the year for 2018 🙌🏼
2nd best in Europe🥈
A brilliant achievement ☺️
We will continue to grow & develop as a team & fight for medals again! 🎯

What a brilliant day working with this exceptional young man 😊 it was absolutely fantastic to represent McDonalds fun football today as ambassadors to celebrate 250,000 kids playing football at the sessions in the last season. A day to remember!! ☺️⚽️🎯✅
Look what came in the post ☺️ It was an honour to Captain such a talented & inspirational team.We made history that year by finishing 4th in the World & cementing our place as the best Eng CP team of all time. My final game was a WC semi-final. How many people can say that?Proud!
Great to be back with my England team as a player mentor. Another fantastic opportunity for me but even happier to pass on the Captaincy to my best mate Matty Crossen. I wish you all the best mate!! 😃⚽️🏴❤️

That was a very muted reaction 😂 you not see Fergie or Pep on the sidelines when players don’t do what they want. Rashford needs to improve his finishing. That’s all that should be taken from that. Once again targeting Mourinho. Boring 😴
This is Demario. He unfortunately suffered a stroke at 6 years old but after hearing my speech at his school last year he was inspired & told his support worker that I was his role model & that he wanted me to visit him☺️.. So yesterday I did. Keep working hard pal 👍🏼

31 today 🎂 Had a lovely day 😊 Connected with close friends & family ❤️ Worked at Cheltenham town fc ⚽️ & then flew to Jersey in preparation to deliver a community wellbeing programme with young people on the island over the next 3 days 😊🏖🎯 very thankful for what I have!! ☺️
Great to be back coaching my England U21 CP team again. First camp in 15 months, but the lads were brilliant. Players & staff should be really proud! 😁⚽️👏🏼🏴

I’ll play. Be good to get someone who has played at the top level in disability football. Think about what that could do for any young kid with a disability watching at home 👍🏼
The moment we found out that we had won the league.The 1st league title in over 9 years for the Uni & hopefully the first of many as a manager. Well done to the players & my fellow coach Jack Costerton.The hard work payed off. Now time for Varsity!😃⚽️🎯✅

Physical education should not be cut from the curriculum to make up for lost time on other subjects. What’s the point in having a really intelligent person if they have poor health, social skills & confidence. Healthy body, healthy mind.
Well done to the England partially sighted team on reaching the World Cup final ⚽️🏆 incredible achievement! What I can’t stand is no mention from any major news broadcaster. You only want diversity & equality when it suits you. Shame on you. Am I wrong?
A lad at a primary school came up to me & said “You are my hero, an inspiration & I have drawn a picture of you. Can you sign it please?” I was welling up ❤️ he’s got the colour of my face bang on too, always a bit pink playing football 😂👍🏼 lovely to meet you young man!!
England CP football team World Cup semi finalist. England blind football team World Cup semi finalist. England partially sighted team World Cup finalist. England powerchair team European champions. Do none of these deserve a mention tonight?

One of the best British players of all time. Not many blessed with that amount of ability, power & desire to win. I will never forget your performances in Euro 2004. Congratulations on an unbelievable career & good luck in management!

#SportsForSchools
Hearing schools cutting P.E time to make up for lost time in other subjects is incredibly frustrating. Without that time to get fit, let of steam, socialise, work on life skills it will lead to undeveloped young people with bad behaviour, focus and respect. Sort it out!
@GaryLineker
Haha Gary 😂 you make me chuckle! There’s a few opinions of yours that no one gives a jot about too🤷🏼♂️ but you make ’s Twitter & without the debates of ⚽️ there would be a few ex pro’s out of work!! 🤞🏼 the boys smash it hey! 🏴
2 min preview. Very proud to be asked to open the Headway BI Conf & very surreal that it was only a few miles away from Frenchay Hospital where I spent 3 weeks in intensive care. I’ve come a long way & will continue to work hard to achieve everything I’ve set out to do!

My New Years Message!! I left hospital in a wheelchair because I was punched from behind by a jealous thug. It resulted in a fractured skull, a brain hemorrhage,severed cochlear nerve,complete loss of hearing in my right ear & a TBI. 4 years later, I did this for my Country...
After proudly attending the Headway awards last week, it brought home to me how many people have suffered a TBI due to assaults & the shocking, lasting impact this has on them & their families. This has inspired me to campaign in the New Year on this issue & search for changes.
Big news!! I can’t quite believe it but Isebrook SEN School have named a School House after me. The students had to vote on who has inspired them the most in life & they picked me. Shock RUTTER HOUSE won its very 1st Sports Day too. Overwhelmed & so proud 😃❤️⚽️🙌🏼✅🏴

You don’t need goals & fancy equipment to improve at football. Sometimes just a ⚽️ & a wall is all you need. Especially for technical work. I absolutely love playing 2 touch. The wall always seems to win though ....🤨🤣
What a day. 6 hours travel🚗420 students put through fitness circuits🏃🏼♂️followed by 3 motivational talks to all year groups. Impact on 1420 students. In 1 day. Highlight was meeting Tyler who suffered a 🧠 injury & said I have inspired him to be the best he can be ☺️ job done!
All the emotions!! 📸 😂 … Another top weekend coaching the England CP Performance Foundation team in preparation for the World Games! 😁🏴⚽️💙
