A lifelong Leeds United and Leeds Rhinos fan is starting his own charity football club in honour of local legend, Rob BurrowMBE.
Regan Talbot from Bramley has been an avid follower of not only United but the Rhinos from a young age and after seeing the incredible work Burrow and co. have done for motor neurone disease in recent years, he was inspired to set up MND FC.
The charitable new club is still yet to get off the ground — due to launch fully in 2024 — but Regan hopes to help raise money for MND organisations and inspire others to try and make a difference.
Speaking to the Yorkshire Evening Post, the 24-year-old who played both rugby league and football when he was younger said he grew up having Burrow as one of his biggest "icons and heroes".
Being not only someone he "idolised as a kid" but an even more motivational role since his diagnosis, Talbot went on to say, "What [Rob] is going through at the minute is shocking... MNDA has always been around but it needs help. This disease needs a cure."
The painting and decorating apprentice also stressed his belief in sports' ability to bring people together and its often curative impact.
"For those 90 minutes, whatever problems you have got, they go away – not just when you're playing, but when you're watching it as well", he said. We couldn't agree more.
It might only be a few months into its infancy but MND FC already has two sponsors from local businesses and has even designed the player’s kits.
He's already met with MND Association (MNDA) to discuss working together, admitting, "I’ve not really done much at the minute and it’s already going through the roof!
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.

This architectural conversion has taken five years to complete and there's been no expense spared, the pulpit and pews have even been kept to really keep that churchy vibe.
Here's what the listing says: "Welcome to The Old Methodist Church, originally built in 1846 and beautifully transformed over the past five years into a truly exceptional home.
"This remarkable conversion seamlessly blends contemporary living with the building’s historic charm, creating a residence that is both striking and deeply characterful.
