This story is also going out on BBC Breakfast this morning, featuring a genuinely heartfelt guard of honour given to a fan and a reunion with the loveliest man I've ever dealt with - Swap Shop's John Craven.
Loved making it. Football is the best thing about this country.
54 years, 48 leagues, over 2,000 grounds.
Yesterday I was with @TonyIncenzo as he completed football's ultimate odyssey.

Where did the money Man City "inflated" in a "concerted campaign to falsify" their accounts end up flowing in the transfer market?
Some have billed it as a net benefit to football that helped clubs far and wide, including ones in need.
The reality 👇 bbc.co.uk/sport/football/art…
Where did Man City's "inflated" money flow through the transfer market and what impact did it have?
Followed the trail and built some fancy visuals to analyse it.
It most certainly changed the football economy, but the idea that the game gained? Hmm.

Some detail from me in this piece about how the Man City appeal will run.
- New legal experts
- A 12-week timeframe, which would be 24 December, but that could be disapplied
- Decision likely before sanctions
- A possible second appeal over sanction(s)

Would strongly recommend the Laver Cup to anybody in London who is free tonight or tomorrow.
Re-sale tickets have been going very cheap and then because it's not sold out you can plonk yourself somewhere that should cost hundreds.
Quality of play this afternoon was great.
Just watched Carlos Alcaraz play tennis in person for the first time.
Pleased to confirm he's pretty good.

I wrote a long read for the Guardian about the evolution of the British trap house, focusing on the story of a friend of mine who was 'cuckooed' twice in London. The first time was grim, but the second cuckooing sparked a fascinating friendship.
