Jimmy & Jack Pub to Club Walk

Nothing beats seeing a pub full of NCFC fans, however when it's the pub which a former legendary manager used to frequent and is honoured - Well the sense of pride and respect sort combined to make it all that more special. The walk just as impressive, as our fans took to walking all the way from the Cross Keys pub all the way to Meadow Lane!

Personally I had been looking forward to it for awhile, I had collected sponsorship from day one and as some are aware I dislocated my left knee not long after.

With my right knee being such a problem and with the left going, I was advised by medial staff (physio and a specialist) not to do the walk. However, anyone who knows me will tell you I am stubborn but I wanted to do the walk for two reasons. 1) I wanted to help raise funds for the statue 2) I wanted to test myself.

Over 70 fans made the walk, which is very impressive!

For me there was no issue's whatsoever, I could feel my right knee and after the game I was walking funny but so proud to have walked it.

Well Done to everyone involved!!

Well done Joe, a great achievement considering your gammy knee, you should be proud, I hope it doesn't set your recovery back.

Absolutely no pain today which is rare, yesterday when I set off - I felt the strongest with my knee for awhile. Until I got off the bus and it had gone dead!

I am very proud buddy :)
