Dear County fans, Stopfordians, Burton supporters, and anyone else from The Football Family joining us today, a very warm welcome to your Sunday edition of The Scarf My Father Wore.

The 1,700 County fans who made the trip to Burton yesterday had a little bit of wind and rain to contend with, but Storm Bert wasn’t too bad in and around Staffordshire. Starting at Sivori’s café in Stockport, and finishing at the Pirelli Stadium turnstiles, I managed to capture 26 photos, which I’ll share with you today.

Sunday’s edition is sponsored by APL Locksmiths and Bauhaus Blinds & Shutters. A big thank you to Anthony, and also to Karmen and Aaron.

Anthony’s offering a 20% discount for The Scarf My Father Wore readers on any key cutting this month. If you need anything doing, give him a call on 07712 657585 or email anthony@apllocksmiths.co.uk.

Finally, I’m currently walking every street in Stockport to raise money for mental health charity Mentell. If you’d like to make a donation to help me reach my target, please click here.

Total distance so far: 176.31 miles

Total steps so far: 284,130
