I live in Marple, where Greater Manchester meets the Peak District, with my wife Rachel and our five sons. This blog is a random collection of local musings and personal obsessions.
Please feel free to post comments, but keep it clean.
Don't worry about genius and don't worry about not being clever. Trust rather to hard work, perseverance, and determination. The best motto for a long march is "Don't grumble. Plug on." You hold your future in your own hands. Never waver in this belief. Don't swagger. The boy who swaggers - like the man who swaggers - has little else that he can do. He is a cheap-Jack crying his own paltry wares. It is the empty tin that rattles most. Be honest. Be loyal. Be kind. Remember that the hardest thing to acquire is the faculty of being unselfish. As a quality it is one of the finest attributes of manliness. Love the sea, the ringing beach and the open downs. Keep clean, body and mind. Sir Frederick Treves, September 1903, Boy's Own Paper, quoted in The Dangerous Book for Boys by Conn and Hal Iggulden

Anyway, I've stolen this for Twitter.

Brilliant bit of footage Michael.
I am so glad that he didn't stay at Wolves and persue his managerial training
