About 2 weeks ago Motty came to a match at Sutton United. I had the honour of sitting next to him. I remember a moment of goal mouth action and on my right I heard ‘ohh’. The classic Motty exclamation. Made me beam with joy. To my generation he was the voice of football. RIP x

True story: My Mum was in a lift after shopping. Also there a man with a bunch of roses. They chat. The man says he buys roses every Friday for his partner. My Mum says that her partner, my Dad, died 4 years ago. As man leaves he gives Mum a rose. Some lovely people in the world.
