Writing ‘Head for the Floodlights’ has opened many unexpected doors. It was an honour to be invited by Ian Beighton to record an episode of his ‘So What’s Your Story?’ podcast. He’s had some brilliant guests on his show, do check out his back catalogue https://t.co/7JV6URht5M

Hugely grateful to @joncolman for this beautifully written piece in @newsandstar on the story behind ‘Head for the Floodlights’. @officialcufc hold a special place in my football heart for being #1 on our odyssey. @ConkerEditions #carlisle https://t.co/OcePPTUjQk

Delighted to receive ‘Watford Forever’ by John Preston & @eltonofficial for Christmas and raced through it in 4 days! Having been a @WatfordFC season ticket holder for the iconic 81-82 season it brought back wonderful memories of visits to Vicarage Road with my Dad. 10/10 for me!

💯 endorse what you say @mattwarwick it was a great privilege to devise and produce this series with you, with brilliant help from @SustainVideo. Catch the show on iPlayer before the end of the year folks!

It’s been a privilege to do this: F1 in 10 Years. A documentary and digital series dreamt up by me and @ggoford in a cafe in Bollington, which took us all the way to… more cafes in Belgium. “What WILL become of F1?” https://t.co/SwFJFs7D7d

Merry Christmas everyone!! I’m not in Brighton but I’m sure it’s as sunny there as it is in Thailand 🇹🇭 Thanks for a great year. Best wishes to all for 2025. #headforthefloodlights #f1in10years https://t.co/6EREnBFjOW

Great to have this collection of my Dad’s football photos from ‘Head for the Floodlights’ published here. Thank you @Londonist @ConkerEditions and to the legends of the game who graced these grounds #headforthefloodlights

Were you a football fan in the 1980s? Then you'll love this book, which presents one father & son's journey to all 92 league grounds. Here are some of the pics from London's clubs -> https://t.co/KXuowPFKDq

Thanks to those who have bought 'Head for the Floodlights: Around the 92 in the 1980s'. It's been a dream realised to have a book published. Great to speak to @Thompson1Garry about his days at @AVFCOfficial and @Coventry_City for the book. Order it here: https://t.co/AcTN7rDcHT https://t.co/E6Lt21cgRV

Thanks so much @NicksWoFPodcast for the opportunity to talk about @IpswichTown at such length, and as many of the other 92 that we could fit in! Of course, a day after our chat @afcbournemouth had to break our hearts! @ConkerEditions #itfc

@mrjamesob @GeorgeMonbiot @HLockettbook @HenryEOliver @Des_Fitzgerald @GroomB Head for the Floodlights @ggoford If you're a groundhopper, this may well be your book of the year. Giles recounts his tour around the 92 with his dad from the late 1980s in a touching and humorous manner. A simple but lovely book https://t.co/T4kW3PWHhQ

This really did make my week! Thank you @The_SimonInglis for your very kind words and 'that' photo. One to treasure.

Simon Inglis @The_SimonInglis

Delighted to have unwittingly guided @ggoford along this epic journey. Lucky Giles to have had such a lovely dad. I had one too and think of him daily. Though hardly interested in football, he taught me so much, as did Goford Senior. Lovely book. https://t.co/yvWQBqhADQ https://t.co/Pn44Ntsait
