I want to thank all the wonderful staff at Royal Preston Hospital, especially Beth and others in the critical care unit
My amazing mum was given the most wonderful care in her final days and she passed without pain or fear
Thank you
@CritcareLTHTR
#Preston
I love you, mum ❤️
I wish Jon and his family all the best.
What’s not on camera here is him asking me how I was or how my pregnant partner was getting on as he often did. He never let go of his kindness and warmth. I found last Saturday incredibly sad.
Goodbye and good luck 🇩🇰
🔵 ⚪ Jon Dahl Tomasson's departure as

Speaking after last Saturday's defeat by QPR, Tomasson was asked: "is this club in crisis?"

Hi
@SwansOfficial
Just want to say thank you to the gentleman steward looking after the press gate yesterday. A lovely warm welcome and very helpful with his advice on getting (rushing) back to the station afterwards. A credit to your club. His kindness was very much appreciated.
An 18th league win of the season for Bolton and a place in the automatic promotion spots in League One. Four stylish goals and 3000 happy fans at the final whistle. A super performance from Ian Evatt’s team.

My 72nd and last game of the 23/24 season will stay in my memory forever.
Fifteen days after my amazing mum passed away and one day before I likely become a Dad for the 1st time.
Thank you for all the messages about my mum and to brilliant colleagues for their company today ❤️
