Mentally he’s been in his 40s all his life, so I’m glad his body finally caught up 😉

Happy birthday JDR.

Happy Birthday John, and as for your body catching up, as agreenwood suggests, mine went way past my mental age years ago.

Have a good day.

Be interesting to see how many of us think at what age our mental age started to lag behind our body age. In many ways I would say mid 20's but not for everything

Happy birthday to the Yorkshire Tourist Board Marketing Manager.

No doubt he is enjoying himself in his beloved Yorkshire Dales with a trip into Bradford pencilled in for later :D

I've changed the thread title so at least everyone knows it's for his birthday.

Many thanks everyone,

Had a lovely day in TRAWDEN, with all my family, making pizzas outside. Great fun.

On arrival, the house was filled with washing lines and my parents had hung up all my early football shirts from the early 90s onwards. I am truly amazed that they’ve kept onto them but more amazed by the fact that I actually fit into shirts that I bought and wore between the ages of about 8 and 20.

I will be taking them home and wearing them from now on…after they’ve had a good wash.

Cheers for your kind words.

I might look forty but thankfully, I don’t yet feel old. In fact, next year I’ll be running my first ever marathon (London) to raise money for blood cancer uk and any support (to come) would be hugely appreciated. But that’s for another day.

Anyway, some photos…

Happy birthday and seems a good time to give thanks for innovative voluntary things like Rate The Ref which gives many of us strangers some good entertainment and chat, a great feature that seems statistically meaningful and not done by many other club’s fans.

Take it from me, it is better to look over 40 and not feel old than the reverse! Sadly those days for me feel like yesterday but are long gone :D

Happy birthday John. Brilliant photos, especially the last one - that’ll be a family treasure!

Wish I could fit in some of my shirts from two years ago, nevermind 20.

Be delighted to sponsor you when the time comes - great cause.
