Exactly a year since prostate surgery - so a reminder to over 50s to book a PSA blood test with their GP, even if in good health and with no symptoms. 50,000 UK men diagnosed each year, 12,000 die. Have the conversation if meeting family this Xmas

Former MP Austin Mitchell has died aged 86, but before politics he was a TV journalist, chairing this live debate with Brian Clough and Don Revie, on the day Clough was sacked by Leeds in 1974. It’s TV gold.

Disappointing for Wales - but getting to finals of 2 Euros is something I never thought would happen in my lifetime. Only 8 (2 GK) from 2016 in 2021 squad and without them, average age was 22.8. They’ll be better equipped for 2022 and 2024

The opposite view here:
Racecourse Ground, Wrexham
The Pigeon Loft, a stand consisting of a curved steel frame that had once been the balcony of a local cinema, was built over the Town End terracing in 1962 providing seating on the upper deck with club shop and tea bar below. It survived until 1978.
