Release day tomorrow…see clip below! George’s Fateful D-Day…where rugby & US football combine to create a friendship that will be tested by the dangers of WWII, and where fate plays a part in the most unlikely of ways. Get your copy from @YLolfa here: ylolfa.com/products/97818…
Doubly delighted that our Alice Street film directly led to this and the Heritage Group within the @swanstrust, of which I’m a member, made this happen. A proud moment…and there’s more to come! Thrilled to play a small part in keeping the history of @SwansOfficial alive.
🎨 Pleased to unveil the second of our heritage murals on Alice Street, celebrating the achievements of some of our former @SwansOfficial and @Cymru players. This follows last year’s tribute to Ivor & Len Allchurch: 🔗 swanstrust.co.uk/heritage/swans… More coming soon… 👀 #Swans…
Delighted to announce that I’m leading a walk as part of the @GowerWalking Festival in September. Beginning at Alice Street, Cwmdu, I’ll be stopping at various locations to share the stories of some of Wales’s greatest ever footballers. Book here: gowerwalkingfestival.uk/walks/followin…

Clearing out 12 months of emails as I prep my Tax return. Anyone else use my approach? See pic…

Take a look at the real-life locations of Port Eynon on #Gower that inspired George’s Fateful D-Day’. ‘If there is one book to read this year, it is this one, with a curveball of an ending.’ Available from my publishers @YLolfa here: ylolfa.com/products/97818…
Been receiving reviews for George’s Fateful D-Day, delighted with the positivity & kind comments. Would love your help to get the book out there…if you haven’t got yours yet, it’s available here: ylolfa.com/products/97818… & here: amazon.co.uk/Georges-Fatefu… Thanks for the support🙌🏻



Just watched @robbiewilliams film, Better Man, with my lovely wife. We loved it. There’s lots I could say, but will leave it at this…absolutely outstanding. 👏🏻👏🏻

Always enjoyed watching @davidhowell530 the golfer, but not only a great commentator now, he’s also such a natural doing pieces to camera such as on @SkySportsGolf Open Zone this morning. A natural and great fun 👍🏻
What a joyous morning meeting @porthcawlrfc @lionsofficial legend, Clive Williams. I used to go & watch Clive at @SwanseaRFC with my dad as a kid, never thought I’d have the privilege of meeting & interviewing him about his Lions memories. Thanks @CommunityOsprey for opportunity
A brilliant Sporting Memories session at @porthcawlrfc this morning to kick off our Lions week with @davidbrayley 🦁🏉 It was an honour to have @lionsofficial #545 Clive Williams with us to share memories from his two tours. #MoreThanRugby
Busy week this week, all things British & Irish Lions @lionsofficial Am giving talks for all 7 of the @CommunityOsprey @ospreys on Lions that have come from Ospreys region over the years. Been a joy unearthing stories behind some of the most gifted players to wear a Lions shirt




Privileged to make an author visit to my old school today!




Glad you like it Luke 🙏 We’ve got lots of other Swans Heritage work lined up over the season ahead. We’ll share more details when we’re a bit closer to getting them off the ground 👍🦢 #YJB
Heartbreaking. Life is so fragile. Rest in peace, Diogo.
Our lad from Portugal. Forever ❤️

My ‘George’s Fateful D-Day’ book tour continues today, visiting @ClwydPrimary & @BurlaisSchool schools. A comment on my visits - ‘I wanted to wait to get in contact, as it has been incredible to hear how excited the children have been about reading & your book since your visit.’


Wonderful visit to @TerraceRoad today as part of my George’s Fateful D-Day book tour. Fantastic engagement from the pupils and some wonderful questions after my talk. Thanks for having me in, always a pleasure to visit you 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Been on hold at @DVLAgovuk for 33 mins & more now, even though I’ve already spoken to someone & they said they’d pass me to another section. Have no idea if I’m in a queue now or just in a loop of awful music. Can’t hang up for obv reasons. Would love to know if I’m still in a Q
Had a lovely chat with this legend at my literacy day at Fylde RFC this week…a complete gentleman 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Just seen Ep 3 of Death Valley. Timothy Spall is an outstanding actor, so appearing opposite him in a scene must be daunting. But in the final scene, @SteveSpeirs4 matched him totally. He’s such an outstanding actor, somebody needs to give him a strong leading role in something.
