The best thing we shared today

The Run in the Dark took place last night, and there were some brilliant pics to commemorate it.

On the record

“What this book has done is made me think about how I’d react if I got bad news about my health. Whatever about the book, I want to commend Alan for breaking taboos and barriers down in an instant, and showing people out there that you kept working hard and you kept the spirits up through the most tumultuous time. You read about his friend who’s going through the same thing and who wasn’t so successful at the end of it. You’re an inspiration, Alan. I called you ‘Albert Tatlock’ there, but every team needs an Albert Tatlock.”

Niall Quinn gave a great speech about his former teammate Alan McLoughlin last night.
