Nobody even knows who did this 🥹

You might have seen the awful footage of a Coventry City supporter appearing to use a photograph of Bradley Lowery to taunt Sunderland fans.

Bradley was a young Sunderland fan who sadly died from neuroblastoma in 2017, aged just six 😔

Well, another Coventry fan has now sent the Bradley Lowery Foundation a medal from the club's 1987 FA Cup final, with a handwritten letter suggesting they raffle it to raise money!!

But here's the part that really got me...

The medal was bought for them by their dad, who has since passed away.

Imagine giving away something with that much sentimental value, knowing you'll never be able to replace it. And they've done it to help families they've never even met.

They didn't even leave a return address!!

I've played in front of enough supporters to know that one person's behaviour should never reflect an entire fanbase. I just wish acts of kindness like this got as much attention as the awful stuff.

Whoever you are, I think you've done your dad proud ❤️

We knocked a squad worth nearly three times ours out of the Euros 😳

Belgium’s squad was valued at around £430 million. Hazard, De Bruyne, Lukaku… and within 13 minutes, they’d taken the lead against us in the 2016 quarter-final.

We ended up winning 3–1, taking Wales into our first ever major tournament semi-final!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Scoring that night will stay with me forever. But building my own business since then has made me appreciate just HOW much went into that Wales team before anyone saw the result…

We knew how good Belgium were.

We also knew what we had together.

Conceding early didn’t suddenly make everyone else right to write us off 🤷‍♂️

That’s something I’ve taken into my approach business - when you’re building something you care deeply about, setbacks can feel personal. You put so much in that it’s hard not to question yourself when things go wrong.

But you’ve got to be careful about turning a bad day into a verdict on what you’re capable of 🚀

Having people beside you who care just as much, who pick you up and still want to find a way forward… that makes a HUGE difference!!!

Give me a team that cares enough to have another go when it all goes wrong.

You can build a hell of a business with people like that 💪❤️

Guess it's official!! 😔

Cristiano Ronaldo has just announced his retirement from international football after 23 years representing Portugal. 234 caps, 146 goals and a European Championship title.

Just ridiculous numbers 👏

I had the privilege of sharing a pitch with him in our Euro 2016 semi-final with Wales. He scored THAT header to put Portugal ahead, and three minutes later we were 2-0 down. Still stings a bit, that one!!

And here's the full-circle moment for me… his final appearance for Portugal was actually against Wales in September, in the Nations League 👀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

It's a shame there's no farewell match planned. After everything he's given Portuguese football, I'd have loved to see him get the sort of send-off Messi had. He deserves that moment with the fans.

You can have all the natural ability in the world, but to stay at the very top for over two decades takes a CRAZY amount of dedication.

That longevity is something else 💪

His club journey continues with Al-Nassr, and he's now just 15 goals away from that incredible 1,000 career goal milestone 🤯

An absolute giant of the game 🫡

What an incredible story this is ❤️

In 2022, Gareth Jones, a plumber and father of five from North Wales, was rushed to hospital after struggling to breathe. Doctors discovered his heart was functioning at just 10%.

He urgently needed a transplant. Amazingly, a donor heart became available the DAY after he joined the waiting list…

Fast forward four years and he’s rebuilt his fitness, pulled on a Wales shirt and helped the Wales Transplant Football Team finish FOURTH at the World Cup!! 👏

I know how much representing Wales means. But after everything Gareth and his family have been through, I can only imagine how special that shirt must feel.

And there’s another family behind this story. Someone’s decision to donate gave Gareth a second chance at life and his five children more time with their dad.

If ever there was a reason to have that conversation about organ donation with your family, this is it.
