Here's the best of the day from 10am until 6pm, as he captured it all in photo form.
He's even put the highlights into a neat little video too...

Yes that is my friend, and Brad Halliday's girlfriend, Annouska, who is kindly letting me rest the teamsheet on her back so I can take a photo of it. Also, since when was this game on a Tuesday?! (Image: NQ Staff.)

Yes that's right. Harrogate do genuinely have a giant photo in the stands commemorating a 1-0 league win in a dreadful game at Valley Parade in front of precisely zero fans back in 2020. (Image: NQ Staff.)
Maybe Harrogate will put this goal celebration on a mural? Maybe not my photo though, which I can confirm was indeed taken on a potato... (Image: NQ Staff)

Me on the bus home, with a coffee in hand and Soccer Saturday on my phone, enjoying my Newcastle side's cruise to a big win at Fulham. (Image: NQ.)
Wins for the Bantams and Newcastle? Time for a flight abroad to celebrate I reckon... (Image: NQ)

Finally home just before 6pm. At least I didn't have a night out to get ready for... (Image: NQ.)
Hope you enjoyed this alternative look at City's win against Harrogate, and just one more thing to say before I go.
I'm not, and never will be, a professional photgrapher...
