    I was on the Tyne Bridge today to support the GNR runners coming through - and support my daughter running it for Alzheimer’s society.

    My 14-yr old son was there with us supporting and cheering - and was over the moon when ‘Youu Reeeeedds’ rang out in front of us from one of the passing runners.

    we both did a double take. Then realised he was wearing his yellow top from last seasons third strip!

    what a great spot from the runner - we were amongst thousands lining the route as they ran past! If the runner was anyone known to someone on here - thanks for making another reds fan super happy today.

    wow - Brilliant to hear that!
    It is a standout top - but still amazed it was spotted.
