I went to see the mural of
@Rob7Burrow
today over in Leeds. Brought a tear to my eye. Absolutely brilliant and a great tribute to the inspirational legend. 👏
Got up early this morning to applaud Kevin Sinfield & his team on their epic challenge as they passed through Halifax.
He ran over when he saw me and I told him he’s an absolute legend. Made me really emotional to see him, what a man 💙💛

My heart is aching with sadness after watching the bravest man I’ve ever seen. The heart of a lion on and off the pitch. Keep fighting
@Rob7Burrow
you truly are an inspiration. Cannot find the words for you and your beautiful family. ❤️
This was the moment
@t_prescott1
completed his challenge in memory of his dad
@StevePrescott1
How he ran 7 ultra marathons in 7 days I’ll never know. A super human effort from a fine young man.
Over £30k raised to support cancer sufferers and injured rugby players.
All prepped up for tomorrow's Ladbrokes Challenge Cup Final at Wembley and over the moon to be doing the hosting for the RFL. As a kid I used to go to the Final with my dad and I'll be thinking of him tomorrow. Feel very lucky and proud to be invited.
Current mood = very happy.
After a meeting at the RFL today everything is sorted to host every major rugby league event this year including Challenge Cup and Grand Final. I love the sport so made up to be asked. 😀
Last few weeks have been really hard but today I’ve seen my mom and had a beer in the garden, from 2 metres of course! Nothing will ever give me greater pleasure ❤️
Met my wife 35 years ago today in the Coliseum nightclub in Halifax. Going to celebrate with 4 cans of Skol and a bottle of Lambrini. Happy Days. I’m a lucky lad 😊🌲🥂
It’s sad to think that this man will retire from rugby league soon. 😢
A true warrior and such a humble man. James Roby received a standing ovation in the lounge after tonight’s game. I don’t know how he performs at such a high level every week. 🏉

Between us we’ve won 4 Challenge Cups so we’re celebrating with a £7 a pint beer at Wembley 😁🍺
Always a pleasure to see the big man

When I was 17 I went on a night out with my pal Andy. He was the life and soul and as usual we had a right laugh.
We walked home together to our parents houses and arranged our next night out. He didn’t turn up the day after.
He took his own life that night.
Watching my son and his pals have a few beers in our garden after a tough year.
It’s the simple things in life that give you the most pleasure sometimes.
Can’t believe he’s 9 years old already.
❤️😬🍺

Absolutely devastated. I’ve not worked for almost 7 months now and the wife has just put the central heating on. 😭
Can this year get any worse?

My wife has just brought me this drink into the front room.
Apparently it's a pink gin with elderflower tonic. It's got fruit in. 😬
I used to drink cans of Tennents extra. I'm from Ovenden. I have no words 😳
I’m off to host the lounges for the Betfred Super League Grand Final. 🎤
It’s a bit surreal to think that all this started at my amateur club Halifax Irish as nobody else would get up to speak!
Very excited and grateful for the opportunity 😊🏉

Whatever happens today it will be such a proud moment as

walk out to face the mighty
@Saints1890
in the Challenge Cup semi final. My team v the club I've worked at for the past 8 years and love. My wife taking on my mistress, I can't cope. 😂
Yesterday’s Super League final was brilliant. Really don’t understand why people go on social media to abuse players and teams. It’s pointless. Just come on and be nice, it’s not difficult. 🤷
Absolutely buzzing to be hosting Liverpool Barcelona this evening at Anfield. Last time I watched Barcelona in the flesh was with my dad on the terraces at Elland Road. Never thought I'd get to see them again. Happy days 😃

Sir Kev Sinfield, what a truly humble and wonderful man. 👏
No words can even describe
@Rob7Burrow
but what a true champion of a bloke and such an inspiration who has captured the hearts of a nation.
Keep on fighting legend ❤️

After 4 months of not working I’m absolutely buzzing to get a booking. I mean it’s on 17th April next year but it’s a start and shows there’s light at the end of that tunnel 😁
Good times ahead. Staying positive.
Just thinking about yesterday's Halifax game against Toronto Wolfpack and thought I'd mention Wolfpack player Ashton Sims. He was absolutely brilliant with the 'Fax fans after the game. Spent ages with the kids, photos and chatting. Great to see, well done Ashton 👏
I introduced Nadine Dorries to speak at the Rugby League World Cup event earlier today and she is now trending.
I’m thinking of becoming an influencer. 😁 🏉🏆

Just been up to my mom’s house and cleared all the snow for her. She waved to me from the window. 😭 ❄️
It’s really hard not being able to go in the house. 10 years now, it’s nowt to do with lockdown. She just thinks I’m a tit. 😬

The most humble man you could meet and one of the greatest players of all time. Two decades at the top in the toughest sport in the world. James Roby take a bow 🙌

Lovely day out with the wife. 30 years ago she was drinking halves of Webster’s but today it was Prosecco, what a nightmare 😭
Wouldn’t change her for the world ❤️

An opportunity given to me by

that I’ve always been grateful for. 🙌😊
This photo sums my role up with the club and the friendships forged 😂

Loved walking around the places where I grew up today. Managed to get £4 out of the discarded Morrison’s trolleys and when I got tired I got a lift home from a horse. Great day
Next week I’ve been invited to host at the Challenge Cup final at Wembley. 🎤 🏉 🏆
Thanks to
@vipmatchdays
for making this old man very happy. 😊
I can’t believe I’ll be watching my hometown club
@HalifaxPanthers
in the 1895 cup final
Dreams do come true 😁
The last year has not been easy if I’m being honest. The thought of being able to work again has really lifted my spirits. Can’t wait for crowds to return and to see people again 🙏☺️

I only use social media for a bit of a laugh and to try and put a smile on my face or others. It’s full of anger and division at the moment. Can we just be nice please? 😬
Thank you 😁

Just been over to watch St Helens open top bus parade of the Challenge Cup. What a nice touch to have two buses with the women parading their Challenge Cup too.
Lovely stuff 👏
So honoured and excited to be hosting at the Challenge Cup Final today.
Feel emotional as I always think of my dad and the times going to the final with him. Special memories 😊🏆

it was for his testimonial. It says a lot about the sport & it's people when he auctions off his shirt for £600 & donates it to Rob. Respect 👏
Start my new job tomorrow as a COVID warden in Ovenden, Illingworth and Mixenden. If anybody is having a party can you get well stocked up please as I have the power to confiscate your alcohol & I’d like to get blathered when I get home.
Happy days 😁🍺

Today has been a sad day. The funeral of our next door neighbour who was such a great character. 🙏
He was one of the most liked and respected people you could meet. An amateur rugby league legend.
I’m going to have a few beers to celebrate his life. RIP Eric Roberts. ❤️
After watching England lose so many penalty shoot outs I can't explain the euphoria of getting put in a headlock by my son whilst he screamed "Get out you Colombian bastards" before head butting the wall. A very proud father moment 😎

Today is world suicide prevention day. My close friend Andy took his life when he was 17. I think about him every day. It was 36 years ago and it still hurts. Always talk. Please 🙏❤️

Good to see Richard Marshall back in rugby league. He did a fabulous job with Halifax and I'm sure he will be great for St Helens. Was lovely to catch up with him and the family last night. A genuinely nice bloke.
Lost loads of bookings this week so needs must. Being asked to leave Morrison’s was a real low point but managed to sell 3 rolls.

Buzzing to catch up with Tonga coach and former

coach Kristian Woolf today.
Love the fact he always gives you his time, was great to see him 🙌
If I get around 60 new followers I'll hit the 5,000 mark which is pretty impressive as in real life I have 3 friends and one of them is imaginary. Happy days.

Son: Where you off dad?
Me: Just going to B&M’s pal
Son: Do me a massive favour and get mom some presents for Mothers Day
Me: No probs my boy and I’ll wrap them too
Son: Cheers dad you’re a star
Mwahaha no I’m not, can’t wait for Sunday 😂

What a game of rugby league, absolutely incredible. The most dramatic Grand Final of all time. Congratulations

last night to host the 1873 lounge, the start of my 11th year with the club. Thanks
@PScully13
for getting me that interview 😁
Feel very privileged to do the role and they let me have a photo with the World Club Challenge trophy which was nice! 😊
Had some fun with former

@LondonBroncosRL

who was on top form last night 🎤
Unfortunately after 2 hours of listening to him I had to purchase these ears muffs 😂
Thanks to everybody that joined us in hospitality 😁
It was very emotional bidding farewell to these last night at the
@Saints1890
Awards dinner. 😢
Kristian Woolf came to the club as a relative unknown and leaves as a legend. Watching
@ReganGrace5
develop into one of the most exciting players has been a joy. Will miss them.
I’ve been fortunate enough to go to some of the nicest places in the world but to spend a Monday in Doncaster makes me realise how lucky I am. Stunning 😬

Reading a few tweets about the State Of Wembley pitch last night. You should try playing amateur rugby league at Underbank. I once got tackled and landed in a humongous pile of cow shit face first. Happy days. 😎💩

Last year we had a nice bit of Winter sun in Dubai to celebrate wife's birthday. It was £13 for a pint of Peroni & I had to have counselling. How much? 😭
This year we've opted for Gran Canaria at 2 euros a pint & I've splashed out on a massive birthday cake too. Happy days 🍺🎂
Over the moon to be asked back to

Feel quite emotional really, I also feel very humbled by people’s generosity in memory of the great man.
Thank you all for your kind donations. 💕
A few years ago I had to host the Halifax Irish rugby awards night as nobody else at my amateur club would do it.
This month I'm hosting

awards dinners. Life can be a bit strange sometimes! I'm a very lucky lad and have enjoyed the journey.
