FROM PAGE ONE: accused of playing
“Russian roulette” with people’s lives after it
emerged Jack’s murderer was released
early from prison last year.
Usman Khan killed two people and injured
three in Friday’s horrific attack near London
Bridge just 12 months after being freed.
Khan was released halfway through a
16-year sentence for a plot to bomb
the London Stock Exchange and
the US Embassy.
The former head of the UK
National Counter Terrorism
Security, Chris Phillips, said:
“The criminal justice system
needs to look at itself.
“We’re letting people out
of prison, we’re convicting
people for very, very serious
offences and then they are
releasing them back into society
when they are still radicalised.
“I’ve said it a few times today, we’re
playing Russian roulette with people’s lives,
letting convicted, known, radicalised jihadi
criminals walk about.”
UK-born Khan was charged in December
2010 and convicted in February 2012 of
terrorism offences but released from jail last
December on licence.
Judge Mr Justice Wilkie gave the jihadist
an indeterminate sentence with at least
eight years, saying he should not be
released until he was no longer a threat to
the public. But the sentence was quashed at
the Court of Appeal in April 2013, claiming
Khan may have just been “talking big” when
he spoke of blowing up the Stock Exchange.
He was given a determinate 16-year jail
term instead, meaning he would be auto-
matically released after eight years.
It emerged Khan was a student
and personal friend of hate
preacher Anjem Choudary,
pictured inset.
Khan had spent years
preaching on stalls linked to
al-Muhajiroun, the banned
terror group once led by
Choudary.
Anti-terror police have
raided a house in the
Staffordshire area linked to the
killer, believed to be a bail hostel
for offenders.
The parents of Sara Zelenak, one of the
victims of the 2017 London Bridge attack,
last night said authorities had learned
nothing since their daughter’s death.
Mum Julie Wallace, 52, said: “I don’t think
they’ve made a good choice. It’s not strong
enough, they have got to look after people.”

■■by ISOBEL DICKINSON

A WOMAN beaten up by her violent
boyfriend has hit out at the Jeremy
Kyle Show and its presenter.
Dawne Mair and her boyfriend Andrew
Hough were repeatedly booked for the
controversial series.
She claims the makers took advantage of
their bitter relationship.
The couple appeared on the now axed ITV
show to deal with Hough’s anger issues and to
prove Dawne was pregnant.
She claims they were urged to stay
together for the benefit of entertainment yet
the show offered no aftercare or counselling.
Six months after their last TV appearance,
Hough was convicted of ABH against his
fiancée, weeks after she gave birth to their
daughter. He held a kitchen knife to Dawne’s
throat and punched her in the face after she
ended the relationship.
Dawne said: “The last time we were on
Jeremy Kyle, it was over Andy battering me.
“I was pregnant and it was for him to get
help with his anger. But we never got the
aftercare. We never got the therapy.
“Andrew had grabbed me by the throat and
he had left marks on my neck.”
She claimed the show knew that Andrew
had been abusive to her and they didn’t give
her the help or the support they needed.
The couple appeared on TV six times
together – on one occasion getting engaged.
Under-fire Kyle tried to rekindle their
‘It’s OK to be

romance on their last appearance in March
– eventually helping them to stay together.
The show ended in May, after guest

Trial judge Heather Lloyd described
Hough as a “violent bully” as she
sentenced him to one year in prison at
Preston Crown Court.

Dawne, 25, also of Blackpool,

In August, she gave birth to
Bethanie-Rose. Yet following the
birth of their daughter, Hough
became more controlling.

The monster – banged up in his

– was caught chatting online about the

British police are understood to be
trying to trace the unnamed sus-
pect’s movements at the
time the then-three-year-
old, above, vanished
from her parents’
apartment in Praia da
Luz, Portugal in 2007.
Goncalo Amaral,
the Portuguese detec-
tive who initially head-
ed the investigation,
said he knew the name of
the con in question, but
failed to reveal his identity.
The ex-policeman sparked specula-
tion earlier this year after telling an
Australian podcast that German
Martin Ney had been ruled out of the
investigation in 2008. He failed to
identify Ney by name at the time.
But now Mr Amaral has fuelled new
­discussions about the suspect’s true
identity by telling a Spanish TV show:
serving life for killing children has
been spoken about.
“It ­appears that in an Internet chat-
room there is a conversation where he
talks about Madeleine.”
Ney, 49, pictured, was jailed for
life in 2012 for abducting and
murdering three children
between 1992 and 2001.
He targeted kids on
holiday by entering
their tents or villas
with a mask and a
weapon.
But when asked
whether Ney was guilty
of abducting Madeleine,
Mr Amaral responded by
saying: “It can’t be him.”
After talk a fresh person had been
flagged up, police in Portugal said in a
statement in May: “This investigation
has been developed in conjunction
with international authorities, follow-
ing judicial rules of cooperation.
“We do not feel it is appropriate to
make any further clarifications in the
interests of the investigation.”

warning to
dog lovers
■■by ED GLEAVE

TELLY vets are warning that

Graeme for help. His dog Poppy has
previously suffered abuse, including
being thrown from a moving car.
When he took her on as a rescue dog
he had no idea her past would mean
she would be badly behaved.
He said: “When she first arrived here
you’d go to stroke her and she’d duck
down as though she’d been hit.
“Eventually she became really quite
hostile towards other dogs.
“Sometimes people just aren’t un-
derstanding and it’s quite sad really.
“If Graeme was able to sort Poppy’s
problems out, it would be fantastic.
“It would mean we could socialise
with her where there are other dogs.
That would be tremendous, because
we can’t do that at the moment.”
Footballing legend Michael
Owen, 39, is also benefitting from
some expert advice.
The ex-England ace’s Staffordshire
Terrier Ronnie is out of control.
He said: “Ronnie is a cracking
dog. But he just simply doesn’t like
other dogs.”
Earlier this year Michael watched in
horror as Ronnie attacked another dog
so brutally it was left needing stitches
in its neck.
He said: “It was really quite savage.
“He was literally not going to let go
until I got there and screamed down
his ear and physically grabbed him.
“If he did attack another dog then
the worst of course could be the
worst, whether he got put down or
taken away.
“He’s attacked one dog in his life,
which is one dog too many. We just
can’t afford for that to happen again.”
The three stars are all hoping
getting Graeme on board will solve
their pet problems.
And they agreed to have it caught on
camera for new show Celebrity Dogs
Behaving (Very) Badly. It will air on
Thursday as part of Channel 5’s Help

Now in its second year, the cam-
paign aims to raise awareness and

The Yorkshire Vet TV
series on Channel 5 turns
the spotlight on life in writer

Peter Wright, above, said:
“At Christmas, as veterinary
surgeons, we do tend to
encounter problems.
“There is a lot of
chocolate around at
Christmas and we have
dogs who will inadvert-
ently gorge themselves
on chocolate.
“Often people think
chocolate is fine for
dogs, but in actual fact
it can be fatal.
“Mince pies have got
raisins in and they are
extremely toxic to dogs. It
can lead to kidney failure.”

Millions of

MILLIONS of us ignore
official advice and waste
hours going to the doctor
for antibiotics for simple

England and the National
Institute for Health and
Care Excellence (NICE)
advises honey as a first line
of treatment.
Around 69% of Brits
have no idea honey can be
used to soothe a cough or
sore throat.
The average British adult
makes at least one trip to
the doctor in cold and flu
season, spending 27 hours
in total trying to get hold of
antibiotics, research from
Comvita Manuka shows.
Although few follow the

they might catch a cold,
such as the gym, and 9%

Men are the ones forking
out that bit extra to keep

U Norton takes on directing role in gumshoe

StarDog And TurboCat

ANDY’S RATING: ★★
In cinemas on Friday
SHEFFIELD animation company Red Star
3D makes its feature film debut with this
kiddie flick about Spandex-clad pets.
Nick Frost gives his American accent
its first airing to voice Buddy, a big-hearted
pooch sent into space on an experimental
rocket in 1969.
After a mysterious accident, he wakes up in
2019 in a small American town where an
animal-hating cop has banned pets.
There he meets Felix, aka Turbocat (voiced
by Luke Evans) a human-hating feline vigilante
who has modelled himself on Batman right
down to the secret hideout and English butler
(a “1980s robot” voiced by Bill Nighy).
The loyal pooch is desperate to track down
his rocket scientist owner, but the moody,
masked moggie is
reluctant to help
until Gemma
Arterton’s sultry
bunny steps in.
It looks great
and has a solid
team of British
voice actors.

We loaded up the pushchair with
buckets and spades, slathered on
the factor 50, and set off on the
15-minute walk to the sweeping
promenade.
The first thing that strikes you is
the spectacular curve of Morecambe
Bay stretching away in all its glory.
With clear blue skies and the sun
blazing away, we couldn’t have
asked for a more perfect day beside
the seaside. We wandered the
and Restaurant. The menu was suitable for ages from birth to 10 rustle up a meal. The bedrooms
varied with options to suit everyone throughout the week, so lots to keep were cosy, with plenty of handy
spot to stop and build sandcastles.
And we didn’t have to walk far to
find what we were looking for.
The highlight for me was seeing
the statue of the aforementioned Mr
Morecambe, although it’s fair to say
that dad was rather more impressed
than daughter.
Our weekend base was Parkdean
Resorts’ Regent Bay holiday park.
On site, there’s a host of things to
keep families entertained, be it the
heated indoor pool, amusement
arcade or entertainment at the
family showbar, inset.
It’s open from 6pm until late and
showcases a wide variety of live
entertainment, from singers to
comedy acts, bingo and more. Or,
you could just relax with a drink and
a nice meal in the Boathouse Bar
particularly good.
There’s an outdoor adventure
play area and multi-sports court, a
handy convenience store, plus
lots of activities for little ones.
We opted for the Sunday morning
Diddy Dinos session, where my
daughter created a rather fetching
dinosaur headdress as well as a
balloon T-Rex, both of which she
had a great time making.
There are children’s activities
storage space.
We stayed in a two-bed holiday
home which was clean and
comfortable and suited us down to
the ground. The living area was
spacious with a huge corner sofa
that would comfortably seat far
more people than a parent and
toddler.
There was also a dining area, plus
a well-equipped kitchen with cook-
er, microwave and fridge/freezer
along with everything you need to
Sadly, the infamous British
weather put paid to any beach time
on our final day, so we took the
short drive over to Lancaster and
visited a brilliant butterfly house at
the city’s Williamson Park.
Located inside an Edwardian
palm house, it is home to hundreds
of the insects.
There’s also a minibeasts area
along with an aviary.
After exploring, we headed to the
café for a drink and a delicious piece
of cake.
It wasn’t a bad way to end a
brilliant father-daughter break.
So, going back to that old Eric and
Ernie song, our weekend in
Morecambe had brought us fun,
brought us sunshine…and brought
us a holiday that we loved.

The iconic name of race – formerly the
Hennessy – may have changed but
yesterday’s contest lived up to past glories.
Run at a pace that took no prisoners, De
Rasher Counter and Ben Jones set sail for
home with four fences to jump and they
proved too strong for The Conditional.
Elegant Escape finished late to snatch
third place.
His stable companion, West Approach,
sent off the 13-2 favourite but lost his rider
Robbie Power after jumping the seventh
fence.
Jones, 20, very much a future champion,
belied his tender years both in and out of the
saddle.
“Jumping the second-last fence, I thought
I had it,” he said.
“But to be honest, I thought we had
“If somebody had said what I have done
now I would not have believed them.”
Victory made it a momentous 24 hours
for Andrew Gemmell, part of the
winning owner syndicate, as he
had celebrated with Paisley Park
at Newbury on Friday.
Gemmell (right) might have
been born blind but it did not
prevent him from enjoying the
moment.
“It doesn’t get much better
than this, does it,” he said.
“I backed the horse in July at
50-1. I’ll celebrate with half a shandy!”
Successful trainer Emma Lavelle, also
responsible for Paisley Park, said: “There
were a few sore heads after yesterday. I can’t
imagine what it will be like after today.
him - it was magical to watch.
“I’m so proud of everybody, I really am,
that we have been able to get these horses
right for the big day this weekend.
“It’s close to home and is so special
for everybody.
Jones for many rode the
perfect race, but his father Dai, a
former amateur rider known as
the ‘Welshman with the tash,’
had some words to say.
“My father was the first one to
come down and say well done and
also what I had done wrong,” said
Jones.
“He picks up on anything, like, I was not
smiling coming over the final fence, but I
certainly was.
“This horse is so game. He loved it.”

Buveur’s lame effort

IT had appeared to be a
penalty kick for Buveur
D’Air but he thumped the
crossbar when outgunned
by Cornerstone Lad at
Newcastle.
Buveur D’Air, seeking a
third successive victory in
Newcastle’s Fighting Fifth
Hurdle, was always hanging
on the coat-tails of the
front-running Cornerstone
Lad and a mistake at the
second-last hurdle denied
him victory.
Under a forceful drive
from Barry Geraghty,
Buveur D’Air closed the gap
but Cornestone Lad,
partnered by Henry Brooke,
held on by a short head.
A dejected Geraghty said:

On the calls for young

always important to start

to show what they can do.
“I’m all for Parkinson and

had to take them to commercial shoots.”
The 6ft 8ins heavyweight will challenge Andy
Ruiz Jr in Saudi Arabia on Saturday in a bid to
win back the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO titles the
Mexican-American boxer took off him.
He is desperate to get his hands back on the
belts he lost on his US debut back in June
through grit and hard work.
Even so, he insists he hasn’t felt any
different in the six months since he had to
hand them over.
“No, there’s nothing I’ve missed,” said
Joshua. “I’ve always said the belt should never
define the man.
“You have to walk as a champion before
anyway and I did that before I even had a belt.
“You see certain fighters come along, they
get to championship level and you see their
whole demeanour change.
“You see the cars, the chains… but I was this
guy way before I had a belt round my waist.
“So when you ask me this question,
‘Is there anything I miss?’ The answer is,
‘No’, because I’m the same person through
and through.
“With and without the belts it’s a
championship mindset and a championship

“We don’t play games when it comes to
Joshua insists the defeat to Ruiz is fully
behind him and that he is fully focused on
what lies ahead.
“Bang, next one. Bang, next one. Bang, next
one,” he added.
“This is hustle, this is grind, this ain’t
about patting myself on the back. This is
strictly hustle.
“All we do is look forward, I don’t really care
about what happened in the past.”
The past saw 2012 Olympic super
heavyweight gold medallist Joshua crowned
world champion in 2016 in his 16th
professional fight.
He beat Charles Martin to win the IBF
title, while adding the others to it in his victory
over Wladimir Klitschko in 2017, before
succumbing to Ruiz (right).
Asked whether the defeat had prompted a
change in mentality last week, Joshua hit back
by declaring, ‘I haven’t become a p***y
overnight’.
And expanding on that, he said: “What do
people think this is? This is fighting.
“One loss doesn’t take the spots off a
cheetah. I came into boxing to fight, I didn’t
boxing, we’re serious and I know after I took
the loss and I’ve had time to reflect, it’s like,
‘F****** hell, I took this sh*t seriously’.
“And I want to take it more
seriously because I’m going to that next level.
“And when I win, I will be like, ‘F***
everybody’,” he said, flipping both middle
fingers and letting out a sharp laugh.
Despite his desire to prove the
doubters wrong, ultimately there is
only one person Joshua feels he
needs to prove himself to now.
He said: “After I took the loss, you
start hearing what people really
thought. You hear people talk and it’s
like they’ve always underestimated me
anyway. Which is a good thing.
“Unfortunately, it’s not a team sport, this
game, so I have to prove it to myself.
“People don’t mention the PR team, the
trainers, they mention Anthony Joshua.
“So I have to prove it to myself and that’s
where the hunger comes from, isn’t it?”

£70m carve-up
ANDY RUIZ JR goes into Saturday’s contest
holding all the belts but it is Anthony Joshua
who is getting the biggest slice of the cake.
Some estimates reckon the Watford fighter
will trouser in excess of £70million.
But Joshua said: “When you look at it, it’s
like, you earn £100, you pay a lot to the tax
man and before you know it you’re left
with, in reality, 30 or 40 per cent.
“So it’s not what it really seems.
“You have to manage yourself
and not get flustered about what
you think is yours.
“Honestly, one of my main
objectives in this sport was to
not be owned, not be taken
advantage of.
“When I met Eddie Hearn I said,
‘You’re not like Don King, are you?’
“It’s difficult. You put so much into it.
“And that’s what I mean about the belts –
as much as they’re important to you today,
when your career is over, someone else
comes up and takes the thing and you have
to move on.”

CHRIS HUGHTON has spent six months

The decision to axe him in the first

AUBAMEYANG FAN: Farke
Farke’s
backing
Pierre
pressure
■■by JON WEST
DANIEL FARKE believes
Pierre-Emerick
Aubameyang is the strong
leader on the pitch that
Arsenal need as they
search for a new manager.
The post-Unai Emery
era begins at Norwich
today with the Gunners
searching for a first Premier
League victory since
October 6.
Striker Aubameyang
inherited the captain’s
armband as a result of last
month’s sensational
on-pitch bust-up between
Granit Xhaka and the
Arsenal fans.
That chaos helped speed
Emery to the exit door and
Farke’s Canaries will kick
off on a high having won at
Everton last week.
The German knows
Aubameyang well from
their time together at
Borussia Dortmund, where
Farke was reserve team
coach and assistant to
boss Thomas Tuchel.
And he backed the
Gabon hitman to show
leadership qualities in
Arsenal’s time of trouble.
He said: “He’s not a
typical leader as the
captain is usually a solid
defensive player who is
disciplined.
“Pierre-Emerick is likely
to do something crazy on
the pitch – it is one of his
strengths to do the
unexpected.
“Now he is more
experienced and has
always been a great guy
in the dressing room
and for his team-mates.
“You can count on him
for that.
“It is no coincidence he
has been allowed to wear
the captain’s armband.”
Farke argues that being
a striker is no bar to being
a captain – because he
was both himself.
He said: “It depends on
personality. Some strikers
just want to take care of
themselves, they have just
one thought, ‘I want to
score a goal’.
“Sometimes it is easier to
have a captain who plays in
a central role.
“But if the character and
the mentality fits it is no
problem a striker wearing
the armband.”
SS1ST
Five top bosses
who fit the bill
FREDDIE TO
RUMBLE:
Gunners’
interim boss
1
Brendan RodgerS Ljungberg
His feet are barely under the desk at Leicester
and he finds himself the top target of Arsenal.
He would be ideal, with his brand of football and
ability to organise a side sure to appeal to supporters.
Jumping from the Foxes to the Gunners would be brave
but the latter is a far bigger job.
2
Massimiliano “Max” Allegri
The ex-Juventus manager, 52, is available and,
you would imagine, has the clout and nous to deal
with Arsenal’s prima donnas. If anyone can resolve
the team’s defensive frailties it is probably the pragmatic
Italian. But do five Serie A titles with Juve really guarantee
him success with this current Arsenal squad?
3
Mauricio Pochettino
The Gunners made an approach for the Argentine
barely 24 hours after he was sacked by Tottenham.
Heartbroken Poch, though, has yet to get back to
them – suggesting he may feel that to assume the reins of
Spurs’ bitterest rivals so soon is a touch too contentious
even in the crazy Premier League.
4
Nuno Espirito Santo
The Portuguese’s reputation for standing no
nonsense in his dressing rooms would be seriously
tested by Mesut Ozil and Co. Guiding Wolves from
the Championship into the top half of the Premier League
has been an amazing feat but still does not compare with
the job of reviving the glory days at a club of Arsenal’s size.
5
Freddie Ljungberg
Can the ex-Highbury winger, 42, do an Ole Gunnar
Solskjaer and go from interim to permanent boss
by kicking his reign off with a relentless winning
blitz? Well, stranger things have happened and his first few
fixtures look fairly tasty. Then again, Unai Emery probably
felt the same about Southampton and Eintracht Frankfurt.
Five things in the
new gaffer’s inbox
1
THE FANS
The Emirates brigade became fractured in the
latter days of Arsene Wenger. Bringing them back
together and aboard – as one loud force – is
absolutely key. Things can turn quickly in N5 as Unai
Emery discovered. This time last year, he was still
regarded a hero after a 22-game unbeaten run.
2
THE DRESSING ROOM
The players lost all faith in Emery to make the
right calls at the right time. But there were similar
accusations levelled at them during Wenger’s
reign. The new coach will have to win back a disunited
dressing room fast – or will be out the door quicker than a
new Premier League chief.
3
THE DEFENCE

I don’t really ever get starstruck

Even when I was a kid and saw someone, I didn’t think too much
about it. And unless I see Kim Kardashian, I don’t think I ever
will! I can’t imagine that we’ll ever be in close proximity to each
other, but you never know…

Everyone always asks if

but I know the truth.

people tell me that they wish that I would die from cancer,

will judge me horribly for it.

There’s no need to rush anything. We’re still young

Words by Susan Hill

Soaper Star!
It’s the week of Michelle and
Robert’s wedding, but can she really
go ahead with her revenge plan?
During Monday’s episode, she gets
him to sign over the Bistro and
sends him round to warn Vicky to
stay away from the wedding. As the
There are big shocks following
the latest arrest in the “who shot
Mercedes” storyline, and as she
has more flashbacks someone
sneaks into her hospital room.
Who is it?
Cindy invites everyone to her
place for Christmas but Luke
is still worried about his hand,
as it keeps seizing up. Sienna
tells him about her dad Patrick
who had motor neurone disease,
which prompts him to book an
appointment at the hospital.
He asks Darren to go with him.
Darren covers by telling Mandy
that Luke is buying Cindy an
engagement ring. What will the
MRI scan reveal?
In other news, Marnie is
preparing for the opening of
her French-inspired patisserie
and is taking every detail very
seriously, including speaking
to her staff in French and
teaching Romeo the correct
pronunciation of bon appétit!
And Yasmine tells Finn what
Edward said to Sally. What
will Finn do?
ceremony starts, Vicky’s son Tyler
barges in and demands to know
what’s happened to his mum. Robert
insists that he would never harm
Vicky or the baby but will everyone
believe him? And will Michelle
become Mrs Preston?
Meanwhile during his interview,
Paul feels that the evidence against
his abuser Kel is flimsy and later
expresses his concerns to Billy,
Bernie and Chesney. Fearing that Kel
will probably get off, Bernie decides
to take matters into her own hands
and heads to the precinct, writing
“paedo” under the picture of Kel on
the security-team noticeboard. A fight
breaks out and Chesney accidentally
pushes Kel’s face into a wall. Have
they made things worse for Paul?
Lisa is on edge as she prepares to say
goodbye to her best friend. But at the
wake, as everyone is remembering
Mel, she’s furious when Phil and
Sharon arrive. Phil sees Sharon
comforting Jack, which gets him
thinking. And as everyone praises
Sharon for trying to save Mel, it’s
the final straw for Lisa. She gets up
and makes a speech in which she
accuses Sharon of being a murderer
and drops the bombshell that Phil
is not the father of her unborn baby.
Following the bombshell, Keanu tries
Also, Rita is upset when Emily is
forced to cancel her trip to Edinburgh
and Nick and Sarah secretly meet
up with Derek and agree to buy the
factory from him. If only they knew
that Gary was the real owner…
to convince Phil that Lisa is clearly
unwell. Sharon rubbishes the claims,
but Phil is desperate for the truth.
By the end of the week, there’s even
more drama as Louise’s waters break
and Phil can’t get hold of Sharon.
Elsewhere, Adam’s lies catch up
with him, Mick is worried when
Linda starts drinking again despite
agreeing to a Christmas detox
and Chantelle is stunned when
Gray finally speaks the truth to
the therapist. Why is he so violent
towards her?
TV GUIDE
Kim gets the DNA test results
and goes to confront daughter-
in-law Andrea. But when she
arrives Andrea reveals that
she’s bleeding and is worried
she’s losing the baby. Kim snaps
into protective mode and takes
Andrea to the hospital. Will
Andrea lose the baby? And what
will Kim do with the unopened
DNA results?
Meanwhile, Victoria is
devastated when she discovers
that Wendy is moving to the
village. But when someone
smashes in the windows at
Dale View, Wendy is left on edge.
Later, Victoria is forced to turn to
Wendy when she starts having
contractions. Is the baby coming?
Also this week, Cain tells
Moira he won’t let her have
the kids while she’s drinking,
Graham tells Rhona he wants to
stay and find out if Millie is his
after all and Danny offers Sarah
some pills. Will she take them?
Or will Noah intervene?
Susan confronts Finn about his
feelings for Elly, citing the money
and time he’s spent on her, and the
photo album he’s kept of their past
relationship. Finn insists that he
cherishes the link to his forgotten
past but Susan reminds him that it
was all fake.
Later, as Elly walks home through
Lassiters, she’s being followed by a
hooded figure. Who is following her
and what do they want?

are both leading double lives

Concorde’s 50th: the
world’s most successful
supersonic airliner is
now celebrated by a
world first gold coin!
Britain has much to be proud of but
one of our greatest achievements
was the design and development
of Concorde. Nothing else quite
captured the imagination in the
same way as this airliner that could
fly at twice the speed of sound!
There were only ever two supersonic
airliners - Concorde and the Russian
Tu144 - but Concorde flew higher
and remained in service much
longer, a testament to its quality and
engineering.
Now, in 2019, we mark 50 years
since Concorde’s first supersonic
flight. A new gold coin has been
produced and in tribute to the
worlds first status of Concorde, the
coin too, is a world’s first!
FOR A WORLD FIRST
AIRCRAFT, A WORLD
FIRST GOLD COIN
When Concorde first took to the
skies fifty years ago, the world
watched in awe as an exciting new
era of faster-than-sound travel
roared into life. Capable of travelling
at twice the speed of sound, nothing
came near Concorde for sheer style

and innovation, and those who could
afford to, clamoured for the chance
to fly on the world’s fastest passenger
jet, famously “arriving in New York
before they had left London”.
With its sleek lines likened to a
majestic white swan in flight, and
delta wings replicating everyone’s
idea of the perfect paper dart,
Concorde was unmistakeable.
Concorde flew higher and faster
than any airliner then or since,
cruising at an average of 1,320 mph,
she cut trans-atlantic flight times in
half. At 60,000 feet, you could even
see the curvature of the Earth while
sipping champagne in your seat!
Her final flight in 2003 marked the
sad end to a great era but despite
this she is still an icon of one of
the greatest achievements ever in
aviation.

deserved, win with a breathtaking effort.

shutout for Al’s
lad in first start
AFTER years of angst, West Ham fans
finally found a son of a former player to
love at Stamford Bridge.
Third-choice keeper David Martin produced
the unlikeliest clean sheet of the season on a
fairytale Premier League debut.
For once the anti-Frank Lampard songs were
toned down – drowned out by tunes in praise of
the offspring of Hammers legend Alvin Martin.
That was even before Aaron Cresswell’s
48th-minute strike delivered a first win in nine
games to take the pressure off Manuel Pellegrini.
The under-pressure Chilean was supposedly
two games away from the sack.
Not now, not after this gritty display, which
even overcame Michail Antonio having a
68th-minute goal disallowed by VAR.
Pellegrini said: “My big worry this week was
not my job or the future but getting the players to
keep believing in what we were doing and they
showed that today.”
Martin fell to the ground at the final whistle
and shed tears of exhilaration and sheer relief as
he was embraced by his team-mates.
Then having celebrated a first West Ham win at
the Bridge since September 2002 with an ecstatic
away end, Martin climbed into the stand behind
the dugout to hug his watching father.
Martin, 33, said: “It still doesn’t feel real. I’m
just pleased I got through it, didn’t let anyone
down and actually I enjoyed it in the end.
“My dad didn’t say much – I think we were
both in tears.”
Having been questioned all week about his
future, Pellegrini issued his version of the war
mantra ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ on Thursday.
But that did not apply to calamity keeper
Roberto who was finally dropped after conceding
19 goals in eight winless games.
So it meant that for the second time this
season Pellegrini handed a veteran goalkeeper a
Premier League debut.
after debut
It looked as if Martin was putting his faith
elsewhere before kick-off as he dropped down on

ahead of Ralph Hasenhuttl in the
5.30 sack race stakes at St. Mary’s.
The Saints midfielder struck a magnificent
free-kick to leave Watford’s manager Flores
close to the edge as the Spaniard’s terrible
second stint at the club continued.
In contrast, Saints’ Hasenhuttl breathed a
huge sigh of relief as first Danny Ings and
then Ward-Prowse turned this game around
with two goals inside four minutes.
The win takes Saints to within two points
of safety, but leaves Watford rock bottom of
the table.
No club in the Premier League had
conceded more than the Saints’ leaking of 31
goals, while the Hornets carried the least
powerful sting of any attack in the league.
The anxieties were glaringly obvious after
little more than a minute when Southampton
skipper Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg gave the ball

carelessness – as he thumped the ball
straight at Alex McCarthy.
A hopeful long ball by Etienne Capoue
should have been cut out by Saints’ Jack
Stephens, but Sarr got the better of his man
and fired home in the 24th minute.
The best Saints could offer before the
break was a neat overlap by Ryan Bertrand
and then an optimistic back heel from
Ward-Prowse that drifted wide.
Hasenhuttl sent on Sofiane Boufal and
Shane Long early in the second half and was
at least rewarded with some extra grit
and urgency.
Southampton thought they had a penalty
when Moussa Djenepo was sent flying in the
to smash the ball home from no more than a
yard out.
Suddenly, St. Mary’s was alive and within
four minutes Southampton had turned
things around.
A free-kick on the corner of the box gave
Ward-Prowse the chance to curl a brilliant
strike into the near corner for his seventh
goal of the season. Foster got a hand to it, but
could not keep it out.
It was a deserved turnaround for
Saints, who showed the greater energy and
determination to win the game.
