Very genuine, but even I laughed when I saw his tweet tagging GTFC. He was clearly hoping for a reaction from the club, which is what he got. Where do the club stop? Do they offer ST to that father and son who saved a man's life down Freeman Street last week. They are making a rod for their own back

Nobody’s perfect. I don’t personally know Zane but he no doubt played his part during COVID. His actions naturally garnered attention and I think that’s what bothers a lot of people. It makes me laugh that WBJ veiled dig, comes from somebody who’s anguish of not being recognised, for coming up with the “sponsor a player” idea is sadly clear to see. Why can’t we just celebrate the fact one of our own has been recognised for his work in the community, without the jibes aimed at tarnishing a positive story?

Good on Jason too for recognising such positive community service!

Giving season tickets like this proves that they are doing what they said they would do. This not about the recipient but the vision Jason and Andrew want us to go with. If there are other worthy people I feel sure that a brief description of their achievements would get a similar result. You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

What's he done wrong anyway ? But what I do know is he did a hell of a lot to deliver meals to kids during lockdown every single day, making sure the kids never went hungry. I do think he was probably looking for a reaction by tagging GTFC but he deserves some thanks for what he did.

That was Les's idea wasn't it?

I think there has been a distinct humour bypass. Those who need to know.......know. You seem to forget that I was the one who originally suggested and then organised the fundraiser that raised about £7k. I did that for everyone. I wanted no thanks. I turned down numerous offers of interviews from various media, including a national newspaper, because it wasn't about me in any way, shape or form. My few comments to Les were all very much tongue in cheek, and both he, and others are very aware of that.
