Where do we begin?
It's been a privilege to witness your journey and see you become a champion in every sense of the word.
We will so miss the sight of you gracing our courts, but all we can say for now is thank you, for the memories and joy you have given to so many. pic.twitter.com/VDWylKvW86

Neil Warnock had his say.
Not sure the North v South game will happen, but if the money raised is for good causes then why not? If it did happen though, there is only one winner! 😉 #football #GOT #HouseOfTheDragonHBO #NorthvsSouth pic.twitter.com/V22KlIxrfV
