| 2018 - and another thumbs up from Oliver... 08:06 - Jan 2 with 3124 views | hoppy |
Boxing Day 2016, and we were facing Fulham. One of the highlights of that day for many of us on TWTD was due to be the appearance of Oliver Turner leading the team out proudly, with the 'Oliver's Army' banner in place. Unfortunately, as you will probably remember, Oliver wasn't well enough and was actually in hospital on the day instead of being at Portman Road. (as it turned out, when he was able to on Easter Monday, it was an amazing day as we beat Newcastle 3-1).
Roughly one year on, and we face Fulham again tonight, albeit away rather than at home and we can just hope for a vast improvement from that Boxing Day game.
If so and we get a result, it won't be the only thing that has improved massively in the space of a year... with permission of his dad, I thought it would be good to post these pictures, to show what an awesome year it has been for Oliver, and what progress he is making. I sent his dad a text on Boxing Day, remembering how he had been that time the previous year, and in his reply he said "I can’t believe how life has changed and for the better." and sent me the second picture, saying "Look at him a year on hey - brings tears to my eyes", as indeed it did mine too, when I saw it!
What an amazing lad he is, and it's so good to see how he's looking now, so thought it would be good to share it with TWTD to have a real uplifting start to another new year!
Let's do it tonight... Let's do it for Oliver, and get it right this time!
This one from January 2017...
And one year on... thumbs up all the way!
Edit: I think the 'Superman' graphic on the wall in the room behind him is very apt!! [Post edited 2 Jan 2018 8:11]
