🙌🏾🙌🏾 Thanks so much for the messages... waiting at hospital for a brain scan... I think only to see if there’s one in there 🙈 Buzzing the lads got job done.... best substitution ever made 🤣
Absolute buzzing we could come together and help Jak out with a new bike!!! 🚴🏽♂️🚴🏽♂️🚴🏽♂️
He’s a fantastic kid who’s always around the club helping out in some form, and he’s especially helped me with all the coaching camps as my assistant!! Top Lad Jak 👍🏾
Three weeks ago, much-loved SSFC fan and volunteer Jak Lewis, 15, was left devastated when his beloved bike was stolen.
Last night, players and staff - led by a speech from
@carlfinnigan
- gave him a surprise he'll never forget.
Enjoy your new bike, Jak! 🚴♂️

🙋🏽♂️ Great feeling that day..... It was my first game back after a very long 13 months out and 3 knee operations to try and save career after horrific knee injury!!
15-year-old South Shields fan and volunteer Jak Lewis had his bike stolen three weeks ago 🚲
So the players and staff pitched in to buy him a new one! We love this ❤
Well, after a serious health scare this last year & 3 emergency operations in the last 6 months… I’m delighted to be back playing! Hadn’t ran/ kicked a ball for 7 months but worked hard to get back fit and very grateful for all the offers from clubs to help me on that journey…

Apologies for delaying this... needed some thinking time!
Extremely sorry for my misjudgement the other night, being over committed can work against you sometimes & I made a big mistake with that challenge at that point of game! So I’m sorry to the team and all who travelled....
After an emotional weekend celebrating Jaks life.... it’s apt to find this photo of him with Me & Bazza after a coaching course! Check that huge infectious smile of his!!! Taken far too early.... Rest in Peace Buddy 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
After stepping away from football to care for my Kira🐶 before she lost her battle…💔
Then a worrying health scare and 3 very difficult operations in last 5 months…🤕
I quiet fancy getting fit again and maybe kicking a ball about somewhere 🙋🏻♂️🥳
Or possibly just work on the 🏌🏼♂️⛳️
After choosing to completely step away from football a few months ago to care for and spend time with my battling old girl 🐶 - who very sadly recently lost her battle 😢
And so glad I decided to do that!!
It’s now time to see how much fitter I can get and possibly, maybe……
Was lovely to be back at Westoe Crown Primary for the opening of Jak Fadas Memorial Corner! 🙌🏾
Nice to find my hand made clay flower in his garden!
The School, Pupils and all Volunteers have done an amazing job making sure Jaks memory lives on forever!
RIP Buddy 🙏🏾

Complete memory loss from Tieing my laces in dressing room before going out to fully waking up an hour or so later in the same place!! Haha. But Iv heard the support was amazing... and that’s another credit to our amazing supporters 🙋🏽♂️🙌🏾
@carlfinnigan
And at least there was 'Super Carl Finnigan' ringing around the ground as you were coming round! Although you probably didn't get to fully enjoy it!
Well after a horrific knee injury over 10 years ago needing 3 ops in 9 months… I’ve made the decision to get another one!🔪Been difficult to arrange until I hung them up to make sure I was there for the little one! But a much needed clean up due…
Then off to get fit again 🙋🏻♂️🥳
Decent atmosphere made by a very good
@SRFCofficial
