Today, we are here to salute a certain Nicky Featherstone, who is about to begin his 12th @Official_HUFC season. The 36-years-young midfielder has played 462 competitive games, putting him third highest in the club’s all-time list and scored 28 goals along the way


New @Official_HUFC signing Matty Daly is NOT involved in the 22-man squad, having been announced yesterday as Simon Grayson's 10th summer capture

It was expected that @LUFC were to bring their U21 squad, though they do include four members of the squad which won the inaugural National League Cup last season, ironically the only cup Pools didn't lose in the first round in
Looks like @Boro great Jonny Howson is in charge of the @LUFC this afty, Leeds name EIGHT teenagers including Louis Enahoro-Marcus, who they got this summer from Liverpool, and Jayden Lienou, from Manchester City

The @LUFC line-up for the Nicky Featherstone Testimonial match against @Official_HUFC includes ex-Boro men Sam Greenwood, who played 45 times last season for Preston, and Patrick Bamford plus Joe Geldhart who played 23 times last season for Leeds

A very interesting @LUFC line up this afty including local lad Sam Greenwood, ex @Official_HUFC on loan keeper Darryl Ombang and a certain Jonny Howson on the bench

THIS is journalism - an exceptional account of the Isak saga from @CraigHope_DM over on YouTube. 🎯 Put simply, there’s no #NUFC reporter out there on his level right now - and not many across the sport in general. 🤷🏼♂️ It’s a long one, but trust me - it’s SO worth the watch…
The decisive moment Down Under. Congrats to the @lionsofficial
The Series-winning moment... Watch every game live on @SkySports. #Lions2025

A very good afternoon and welcome to Victoria Park for the Nicky Featherstone Testimonial match between @Official_HUFC and @LUFC . Gates are open and there is time to make it down and salute the great servant



It's a very special Matchday. Nicky Featherstone gets his testimonial v @LUFC KO is at 3 pm, come and support a Pools legend. #HUFC
Nicky Featherstone. Signed October 2014, has played under more managers than any other Pools player, has made 462 appearances (3rd all time) and is still on top of his game. Deserves his testimonial today and more.
Given England would have gone home two games in a row but for her, perhaps It's time she started. Always trust a Kelly
The difference maker 🥶 #WEURO2025

Huge, huge night for Redcar boxer Bobby Dalton who is expecting a war when he faces Ben Vaughan for the vacant English welterweight title on the @BCB_Boxing @NathanHeaney homecoming show in Stoke rb.gy/irckei
Ben Stokes's transformation from 'firestarter' to statesman, and how his character was formed outside the England 'talent pathway' that runs through private education. My column for @ObserverUK observer.co.uk/news/sport/art…
This is excellent.
