As 2021 closes. We all pray for life without restrictions 🙌 as I complete my 12th Year in charge of Greatest pub in world 🌍 Bishops Blaize. Happy New year x x x
Growing up as a county fan, I saw us relegated from League 1 all the way down to the national league north. Now we’re back where we were when I started seeing us fall downhill. The feeling I’ve had today is a special one, and I will never forget it💙🙏💪
Today marks the day that The Bishops Blaize has been open 23 years. I have been lucky enough to be the Manager of the best pub in the world for over 13 years and i have met some amazing people and livelong friends

Emotional day at Bishops for me today. First met Agon in March 2010 he's been a matchday regular ever since and has become a very close friend. He got the terminal cancer diagnosis in November. Absolute pleasure to catch up and see him today. Keep fighting, brother 🫶💙💔🙌
Looking forward to continuing our push to League one with a visit to Rochdale (A) tonight. Boys slightly older but first time they will watch their first Stockport hero
