Paul, if you need the book typeset, I run a publishing services company and I will do the typeset and cover design the book for free. I’ve enjoyed Redmen for a few years and I would be honoured to help and pay back some of the joy you and your Dad have given me.

Please buy your mum some flowers. And say 'You never walk alone'. ❤ Love and Healing.

Sorry this is happening to your mom. My grandmother had early-onset Alzheimer's in her 50s and passed 9 years ago. There's no beating around the bush, it will be horrible, it is horrific and the damage will be with you and your family forever. Good luck and stay strong.

I’ve been watching redmen for the past 10/11 years since I was 14! I have basically grown up watching you, Chris and your dad each week for my entire teenage and young adult life so absolutely I’ll be supporting this project. Best wishes to you and your mum, I know first hand how this illness can affect the patient but also the family and friends of the patient (as I lost my grandmother in February of this year to that disease) so my thoughts are with you all. YNWA.

Mate all love just lost my mum on Friday after my brother last year, my son had learning needs and special needs support helped him through and he is now doing a degree, so I know the impact people like your mum, so this really touched me, you are doing the right thing talking about it, it is effecting you and your family and you all need to talk all support (BTW I am a city fan but love your content all power to you, your mum and dad and your family) will buy the book and just about to jump on kickstarter!

I'm sorry to hear about Mum. Sending my best wishes, YNWA 🙏🏿

Paul, mate. I can't imagine what you and your parents are going through. I don't know you, your ma or your da, but this breaks my heart into a million pieces. It's one of the worst things to see a body outlive a mind. This book will succeed, and your parents will get to spend their last years together, however, and wherever they want. You'll Never Walk Alone❤️❤️❤️

I’m sorry to hear about your mom. Heartfelt prayers to you and your family. All the best with the book.

Thousands of miles away from Liverpool, over the years you have made me feel closer to the football club that I love. I would do anything to help support you and your family. Excited to read the book. YNWA

I am in tears after watching this. Not only because I lost my Stepmum to dementia and the effects her illness had my dad and the rest of the family, but also because you have chosen to do something so positive in an unexpected way to make your folks remaining time together the best it possibly can be. Of course I will order the book and cherish it. I hope other channels will share this story as besides the club rivalry they are good people. Good luck Maych, my thoughts are with you and your family.

Paul, like many of those commenting after watching this I lost my own Mum from dementia a couple of years ago. We know what you’re going through and stood helplessly watching my dad watch the girl of his dreams slip away although she was there in front of him….. torture…. humbling to watch. I learned that time to treasure the time we have together with those we love. I’m sure they’re both proud of what you’ve achieved to date but even more so of this gesture ! I don’t normally read much but can’t wait for this to arrive and will definitely finish this one! YNWA

My Mum and Dad are near 80 now and the world will be strange without them when that time comes, love and blessings Paul! YNWA! ❤💯🙏

Hi Paul, Sorry to hear your sad news. I’ve worked in the care environment for well over 20 years, dealing with dementia, my other half, although she has cancer, has such an amazing knowledge of dementia. You and your family will Never Walk Alone. We are all one big family due to our love of Liverpool FC, we are all here for you. Redmen tv has given me so much joy, I’ll definitely be backing this book.

I have no hesitation in supporting this project. My own mother suffered with dementia, so I can relate to that news. But further than that, you and your family and team at Redmen come across as friends - albeit separated by distance and circumstance. My thoughts are with you and your parents, and I will think of that every time I see John's book on my shelves. With my best wishes.

It's clear from your content how inspirational your parents are to you. You've been raised well. Red men are best fan channel on KZfaq by a country mile. Not fake reactions and no fake rage and no hate for views. So organic. An honest representation of the city of Liverpool.

Paul im so sorry for you. Both my mum and grandma had dementia. My mums was early in her mid 50’s. I’m in my mid 50’s now ! Your mum might need care beyond the home. If that happens please seek out special care, dementia diagnosis can speed up help.

What a beautiful gesture in a truly awful situation. Just ordering a copy and I'll do whatever I can to help. Sure puts Klopp's quote in perspective. Football is the most important of the least important things. Your dad is awesome and I'm sorry this is happening. Your dear mom, John and all of you will never walk alone. Just know that.

So sorry to hear about your Mum, Paul. My Old man had Vascular Dementia and Unfortunately passed away 7/11/23. I send love and support to your family mate. I am 41 (1982) so I know exactly how you feel!

The book sounds ace Paul. You're doing a great thing, your mum and dad have raised a very good son.

Much love to all your family my dad had dementia and I was his carer for 5 years. Horrible disease ❤

Hey Maych, Alzheimers runs in my family also. Grandmother was diagnosed aged 77 and you could really see it clear as day. Over the next 3 years she went from a super organised, family focused women to now forgetting everybodies birthdays, no longer planning the family gatherings, next forgetting names and onto eventually totally losing the last 60 years of her life. she went back to childhood. Thinking my dad was her dad and not her son. Being confused and scared of younger family members she didn't know. It is a terrible disease to witness & after those 3 years of swift deterioration, followed 6 years of frankly being alive without truly living or being present until she died aged 86. This was a women who lived through world war 2 in a German occupation and evacuation. She was super strong and enduring a figure to the whole family, so to see a disease with no real visual affects destroy her was extremely hard. If I can say one thing Paul, spend as much time with your mum as you can in the short term mate. You don't know the speed at which alzheimers will take hold but you certainly want to have more happy memories of your time together to outweigh what could be to come. My biggest regret in family life was being overwhelmed by the confusion and avoiding going to see my grandmother in some of her final years.

My grandad got diagnosed with Dementia a few years ago and has slowly forgotten most of the things and people that he was close to, he recently forgot who my grannie was, he thought she was his mum. Despite this, he’s always remained the same bubbly, happy man that he’s always been which has helped us all deal with his loss of memory, ultimately, within himself he has lost us but he has never lost himself and he’s a massive inspiration for me and my family. I’m sorry to hear about your mum Paul, it’s an awful illness and what you’re doing with the book is amazing. Just keep going.

We're currently awaiting on a diagnosis for my mum also Paul. All the best mate. Horrible to watch any person let alone one you love to slowly slip away.

I'm going to pledge some money. My father-in-law arrived on our doorstep in 2020 after a breakup. Shortly after, he was diagnosed with early-onset Dementia. Fast forward to today, he's now bed-ridden and probably won't see out this year. He's only 63. I feel your pain and I'm more than happy to contribute towards a great cause. You have my heartfelt sympathies and I wish your parents as much happiness as they have left together. YNWA

So sorry about your mother. My mother got dementia at about 60 and was basically a husk for the about 9 years. My father stopped All his activities to look after her until she had to go into a home and then would visit her every day even though she didn’t recognise him for the last 5 years. Eventually it killed him and she out survived him by two years. It was her worse fear as her father had it and was violent with it. I hope your father has a better time of it than my parents, other than MS I can’t think of a worse thing

Maych, i'm gutted to hear your family is going through this. Keep on top of your own mental health during this time. Don't ignore it. YNWA

Sorry to hear about your mum's illness. Best wishes to all your family. Great job to get your dad's book printed, it sounds like an intriguing storyline.

What an amazing thing you are doing, and it’s fantastic to see all the supportive comments. Your mum and dad sound like incredible people, who have given so much to help others. Why is it always the kindest and loveliest people that these happen too? My beautiful Auntie died from early onset dementia in her early 60’s - she was the sweetest, kindest and most gentle person you could ever meet. I’m going to join the kick starter in honour of her memory. That was an extremely brave video, it must be so hard to talk about something so personal but by doing that you are giving your mum and dad an incredible gift. 👏👏👏

I love watching Redmen & your show from far away. I'm a diehard proud scouser, mighty red fan, born & bred now living in Brisbane, Australia. I lost my dad way to soon at 64, it was because of him & my Mum of the person I am today & my love for Liverpool FC & my city. I lost my brother in 2019 which was self-inflicted, I watched for years my Mum go into a decline with Dementia, from getting support for her at her home to then going into an RSL nursing home & then having to sell her home to support her before it finally took her in 2021. Being the only member of my family left, it took its toll on me. I live with the wonderful memories I have of them & my own family today. I will be happy to help & support your project mate. All the best with everything & keep strong for Mum & Dad, yourself & your family. Keep the faith brother 🙏YNWA.

Have followed yourself and redmen for over 10 years. As someone who had 2 grandparents with dementia, it’s so cruel. I will you and your family the best, quality idea bringing this book to life 👏

Sorry to hear this happening to your family. Will definitely be backing the book after all the joy you've brought us via Redmen TV.

Love and strength to you, your Mom, and your Dad, as well as the rest of the family.

Thanks for sharing this heartbreaking story, Paul. My mum suffered from the same cruel disease too, and I’m so sorry that your family is going through all the consequences of it, as I did. Your parents both put so much into the local community, and absolutely typify what YNWA truly stands for. To give your mum and dad more time to enjoy life together, without financial stress, is a wonderful cause and one I’m humbled to support. YNWA ❤️🙏🏻❤️

Sorry to hear about your mum and everything you and your family are having to go through Paul. I wish you and your family all the best. ❤

Hi Paul sorry to hear about your mom. I am from Saudi Arabia and a huge supporter of Liverpool FC (since I was 10 years old), Redmen channel, you, your dad and the rest of the Redmen’s pundits. I l’d definitely like to contribute to your genuine cause and buy the book but need assistance on how to do it. Very best wishes to you and your entire family

Sending love Paul. Bloody awful situation to go through at the best of times. Have backed and look forward to reading your dad’s words, supporting your mum’s life. YNWA

Paul this has really taken me back, I cant imagine what your family is going through. What you are doing for your dad resonates with me a lot, especially since I recently became a father myself. What a wonderful thing you are doing for you Dad and Mam. I hope this is a massive success.

Hey Paul, I have just donated. My father in law is diagnosed with the same. Your mother and all your family are in my prayers. You say your dad is a proud man, he's even more proud today I'm sure YNWA

Paul, I got very emotional listening to that.i lost my dad very young but he inspired all of my tastes and interests and opened my mind in so many ways. This is fantastic and what a wonderful tribute to your love for your parents. It deserves to be a huge success.

Hey Paul. Sorry for the news about your mum. I know first hand as my mum had dementia and we lost another strong Liverpool lass a year or so ago. We’ve lived here in Australia for over 50 years but I’ll always be scouse. Love my Liverpool FC, love sci fi, so I’m going to love your dad’s book. Nice job mate - heading over to Kickstarter now. YNWA.

So sorry Paul, I’m currently going through it with my Nan and the ripple effects through the family are horrendous, seeing my mum lose her mum slowly is just so unjust and painful. I will buy the book and am very much looking forward to reading it with my nephew who is getting to an age where he will be able to enjoy it as well and use that wonderful imagination you spoke about. Sending huge love to you and your family, you’ve built a huge network of people who genuinely care about you and that speaks volumes. You’ll never walk alone x

Hi Paul, so sorry to hear about your Mum. My own Mum passed away after a three year journey with dementia. It's a dreadful disease but there is so much help out there. Good luck with the book, I look forward to reading it.

So sorry for what your family going through Paul. My dad from Birkenhead met my mum, a teacher from N Ireland 40 odd years ago and he’s the reason I’m a Liverpool fan. I can only imagine if the same happened to us. More than happy to support the book and sincerely hope it is even a tiny bit of help for youse

So sorry to hear about your mum. My heart and hugs go out to you and your family.

Paul, I am so sorry to hear this. Dementia is cruel. I would love to help you.I am so touched by what you are doing for your dad. That is class. What an amazing son you are. I love Redmen TV - I have loved your content for years now. And I really would love to help. I know publishing really well, both traditionally and indie. I am a published author. I will give what I can to the kickstarter, of course, but please feel free to reach out. The cover for your dad's book is amazing. The story sounds fantastic - will definitely find a good audience. I think you have an excellent chance of making your parents' retirement a bit easier. YNWA.

Sorry to hear about your mum Paul. Best wishes to all of your family. What you are doing is a brilliant idea and I really hope it's a great success.

really felt that mate, sorry to hear about your mum. Love listening to your dad. This book will get backed and do its thing im sure YNWA!!!

So sorry to hear what your mother is going through, hope ye get the support ye need.

So so sorry to hear about your personal family circumstances Paul, just awful. But what you're doing is incredible to say the least. My full support and love to you and your family.

Sorry to hear about your mom. Good luck for the book. Will check it out.

I'm going through the same thing with my mum too Paul. It's awful to see someone change so much every day. Sending love to you and your family.

So sorry to hear about what you and your family are going through Maych. A lot of us will be able to relate as many of us will have known family or friends who have suffered from this horrible disease as well. Thoughts are with your mum and your dad. Also can't wait to read the book! YNWA 🔴

Really sorry to hear what you're going through with your mum. We are going through the same with dad (I think they live down the road from you Paul). It's horrible watching someone disappear bit by bit.

I think that's really cool of you to type the story into a digital version and cemented it in a from you'll always have. I'm sorry to hear about your mom, but I'm happy that it's all being channelled into acts of love. Sounds like a rad book! Wish you the best, mate.

Thoughts with you and your dad, Paul. Been following your content since around 2012 and you're still the same down to Earth bloke, putting out top-tier stuff. Fingers crossed your dad's book gets the traction it deserves.

Man I’m so sorry, dementia is the worst of it all. To watch my nan go through this and forget who we all were, to be constantly confused, it was so hard. I have a client going through it with their mum and sometimes I just sit with them to help be there. Keep your head up man and good luck with the book. YNWA

So sorry to hear about your mom Paul. My thoughts are with you and your family. All the best with the book

Sorry to hear about your mum Paul, same thing happened with my grandad and it's not an easy process. Been following yourself and the lads of Redmen for many years now and met you in pub in Dublin few years back, sound in person as well, I'll buy that book and look forward to giving it a read, fair play for putting it together

so sorry to hear about this, we have a close family friend with it and its just so so sad to see what it does to someone so I hope you raise what you need

YNWA mate. Good luck to your dad and I hope this book is a success

Heartbreaking Paul, amazing thing you’re doing. Entire family should be so proud of eachother

Your dad is an absolute legend. He's been the voice of authority on my build up shows for many a year now! Sorry to hear about your mum. I'm all over that signed copy! Can't wait to read it. I hope they can do the beach thing, as it sounds great.

So sorry all your family is going through this Paul, such a horrible disease! It's a great thing you've done for your Dad! Looking forward to reading his book, pledged for a signed copy. Best wishes from Western Australia mate. YNWA

You're an absolute credit to your parents, Paul.

Thoughts are with you Paul. My Mum was also diagnosed with early stage dementia at 56 and, as you and your Dad will know, it was absolutely devastating. Positive vibes to you and your family at this difficult time. I will, of course, be buying the book 🙏❤

My dad was diagnosed with vascular dementia 2 days ago....feel your pain ❤

I wish your mum and your family all the blessing in the world. Seeing your loved ones deteriorate is painful and I can testify that. Sometimes we need to take a break from football and look at life the way it is. Not that the footy can't be important but there are definitely things in life bigger. I hope you get to publish it and help your parents because I'm sure they deserve it. I bet your dad is very proud of you! #YNWA

Paul - I’m so sorry to hear about your Mum. Sending you, your Dad and family so much love and hope for the journey ahead.

Sorry to hear this paul.... i went through something horrific 7 years ago, my advice is stick 2gether u will be a much stronger person. Send love to yas all ❤

So sorry to hear about this, my dad has lung cancer and I can't deal with it, but seeing your videos and seeing how well you seemed to cope with this is insane, and you are proof that your parents are incredible parents, I will buy your book for sure can't wait to read it ❤️❤️

Dementia is an absolutely awful disease. I'm so sorry this is happening to your family. I will definitely be buying your book.

currently awaiting diagnosis following an assessment for dementia with my mum, so I can wholeheartedly appreciate what you're going through. Wishing your family the best, man

All of our thoughts are with you and your family❤ What a great initiative this is, and what a great man you are❤

bless you Paul, and bless your mum and dad too; they do deserve to enjoy the remainder of their time together and you've done a wonderful thing here.

So sorry to hear about your mum, Paul. What an amazing effort you've made mate. Look forward to one day reading it.

We're going through the same thing with my Nan, it's a cruel illness. My deepest sympathies go out to you, your dad and all your family

Paul mate I'm so sorry to hear this about your mum. I always enjoy listening to your dad's soothing voice on Redmen TV. I'll support this kickstarter.

Absolutely love this Paul, this is beautiful! As someone who also teaches within special education, I am looking foward to being able to share this book with my students in the future! Im sure just like your pops, your mom has had an immense impact on many people’s lives. Wishing you all the success, and also keeping my fingers crossed for a possible audiobook in the future with the 3 Machin generations lending their voices!

Sorry to hear this about your mom. My dad had dementia and passed during Covid-19 in a nursing home in the town of Bray in Ireland. We could not visit him because of lockdown and that was the toughest and most painful situation the family has every faced. I hope your mom gets all the support she deserves and I hope that she can have some quality of life for as long as is possible. The book sounds wonderful and needs to be published, will check out the campaign now and jump on board.

Sorry to hear bruv!! My grandmother had Alzheimer's and my father later developed dementia before he passed some years back. It's tough for sure but you've shared and the memories you have will sustain you. Best wishes.

What an amazing son you are, your mum and dad must so proud of you! So sorry to hear you are going through this. The story sounds great, I would love to be part of making this dream a reality.

You are a great human. Best wishes to you and family. Happy to support your project.

That was an incredibly brave and moving video to post, Paul. I shall be honoured to support your cause. My heart goes out to you, your folks and all family & friends impacted by the sad situation. YNWA.

YNWA - well done for keeping it together, using the pain to channel something positive. Sending you prayers, for what they are worth. Now hopefully the hard work you have put into building a community will come to fruition in a way that will help out mum and dad. Proud of you all.

Sending love to you Paul. My dad's 63 has been living with the disease for about 8 years now, it can be hard to deal with so make sure you're taking care of yourself

Done, mate. Cant wait to read it!! Good luck with the and enjoy the time left you have with your parents. Lost my dad and brother the past year. Life is fleeting!!

Heartbreaking and heartwarming in equal measure. What an amazing thing you are doing for you family. Using the platform you have built to reward your parents is an incredible gesture. Love to all you Machins. Thank you to you, your Dad, and to some extent your mum, for what you have given us, I definitely want to help you launch this homemade scouse-brewed story.

Aw Paul mate i lost my dad to that horrible, horrible disease. Over the course of 2 years we saw him deteriorate slowly into someone unrecognisable. It hurts even now thinking about it and its been over 10 years since his passing. My heart goes out to you mate, stay strong and my best wishes, hopes and prayers to you, your family and your dear mum. YNWA

Massive love to you and your family, Paul. Excited to see the book come to life

I am terribly sorry to hear about your mum and the sadness your whole family is suffering. I send love to you and your family.

Thoughts are with you and your family Paul. Dementia has been a part of my family’s recent history as well, so I’m very happy to see you speak about such a great cause. Massive luck!

Wow mate, sorry to hear about everything that has been going on. I think it's awesome that you're fulfilling your dad's dream of being an author. Can't wait to read the finished book!

One of my grandmothers got dementia and blocked off everyone except my older brother and his son her final years. It's sad when the people you love most start distancing for no reason while you miss them. Thank you for your video. Wish you well.

My dad is going through the same dude. Heartbreaking 💔 Wishing your family all the best.

Pledged, done. Looking forward to reading this story. Cheers to your Dad, prayers for your Mum. Thanks for this video.

So sorry to hear about your mum, Paul. I love your dad on the podcast hes a class act. I cant wait to read his book. YNWA

I’m so sorry for what you and your family are going through. My grandmother had Alzheimer’s as well as both of my wife’s granddads. It is such a hard thing for families to go through, let alone the individual suffering with the condition. I pray for you/your family. Main thing to remember always, You’ll never walk alone. Love from North Carolina, USA.

Paul, I'm sorry to hear about your Mum. My Dad's going through it too and it's no fun at all. All the best to you and your family.
