I hope you blues know me well enough by now to know that the stuff I'm about to write isnt done through trumpet-blowing. Because the subject matter of the article would deem doing so entirely inappropriate.
But just wanted to share what's happened today.
The letter was shared on Facebook (15,000 times) and all over Twitter and various football forums. It quickly gained a life of its own and got a bit scary at times. A lad I havent seen since school got in touch and said his uncle passed it on from his home in Jersey. A cousin texted me and said 'What the fuck? Everyone is talking about your article in a forum I go on'. A film director from New York put it in Twitter and implored his followers to read it and pass it on.
The internet is a mad place at times.
Just checked now and today it was read by 140,000 people.
Thats brilliant, i hope you have started something here.
There will be bronze statues of you on marble plinths across the land, and free beer at any pub or shop in the UK.
