Adam Johnson showed great courage last night deciding to go ahead doing the commentary of the Forest Green v Barrow match despite learning his mother had died just before kick off.
I have to admit I shed some tears when I heard it announced on Radio Cumbria this morning.
I am sure if the players had known this they would have dedicated the win for Adam.
What a gem he is.

Didn't know that, my sincere condolences Adam, I'm sure that game was meant for you !!

Sorry to hear that Adam. You did a great job as normal in the face of personal tragedy. It took a lot of courage.

That's shocking to hear. Thank you very much, Adam, for all the inspirational work you do in commentating on Barrow AFC but, for now, deepest condolences and take care of yourself in this difficult time.

Sorry to hear that news. I've really enjoyed his honest and insightful commentary on the games I've streamed this season.

So sorry to hear this awful news, my thoughts are with you and your family Adam.

The amount of courage you showed last night was absolutely incredible, you should be massively proud of yourself.

I’ve been a fan of the club, often listening in to games when I can’t physically attend, for around 32 years. In all that time I can say you’re my favourite commentator. I love the fact you’re a supporter of the club and that passion always comes across during your commentary.

Thank you for all your hard work this season and hopefully in the many seasons to come. Once again, I’m so sorry for your loss, thinking of you mate.

So sorry to hear about the loss of your mother.You decided to carry on with the commentary despite the way you must have been feeling.I would just like to thank you for your commentary over the season we have not been there and also to over you my sincere condolences .
