DSA DONATE AND PLEDGE FURTHER SUPPORT FOR CHARITY Doncaster Sheffield Airport (DSA) is proud to support The Children’s Hospital Charity as the airport’s official charity. Through fundraising activity, the airport has raised £15,000 to provide a specialist consulting room at Sheffield Children’s Hospital. Kellie Naylor and Rick O’Toole from DSA met Tchad Western, corporate partnership officer at The Children’s Hospital Charity, for a tour of the newly completed specialist consulting room in the Hospital’s Outpatients department, made possible by the fundraising efforts of airport staff and

its customers. these activities included raffles, sponsored runs, passenger donations of spare currency and the sale of toy globes in the terminal. Environment and community officer, Kellie Naylor, said: “It’s great to see the difference that our contributions have made, not only to the care that children receive, but to the way that they receive it. The treatment at Sheffield Children’s Hospital is amongst the best in the UK, and we are proud to support facilities that reflect this quality of care.” The Airport will now focus on raising a further £15,000 for one of ten

proposed treatment bays in the Acute Assessment Unit Ward (AAU) in the Emergency Department. The AAU is for children who require a short stay for future tests, stabilisation, observation or treatment - having arrived via the Emergency Department or from a GP referral before going onto a ward or going home. These essential bays will give clinicians the space for everything they need, so everyone who visits the Emergency Department will not only just receive the best care but also have the best possible experience. Corporate and trade partnership executive, Rick O’Toole, said:

“We’re really pleased to reach this milestone and seeing the room making a difference to children receiving treatment at the hospital. We will be challenging ourselves to go even further to reach our next fundraising target and we’re already making good progress. “Our firefighters recently cycled Coast to Coast from Morecambe to Scarborough raising over £2,000 and we will continue to ask our passengers for their support too, so together, we can raise a substantial amount on behalf of this important charity.” Sheffield Children’s Hospital is a designated Major Trauma Centre, helping up to 200

children a day from South Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Lincolnshire with every possible problem imaginable. Originally built to see 32,000 patients a year; the emergency unit now sees 60,000 and is in urgent need of expansion. The new development will help give families who need care, privacy so they can be treated in a hospital built with children in mind and clinicians have everything they need when they need it. Tchad said: “The hospital sees 269,000 patients a year in need of specialist treatment from across the UK and beyond, which is why it

is so important to have world-class facilities that match the worldclass care at Shefﬁeld Children’s Hospital. The funds raised by Doncaster Shefﬁeld Airport helped to create space and privacy so that children can receive

specialist care in the appropriate setting. The money raised will help create a permanent space where clinicians have everything they need, whenever they need it. “We’ve recently launched our biggest ever appeal, which

includes expanding the Emergency Department at Shefﬁeld Children’s Hospital and we’re delighted that DSA has committed to help us build a better future and change children’s lives for generations to come.”

NEW EXHIBITION COMMEMORATES HISTORY OF SHEFFIELD AT WAR A new exhibition commemorating the city’s history of conflict opened last week at Sheffield Central Library. The exhibition spans the Anglo-Saxon era to the air raids of the Sheffield Blitz and is part of a series of free events which tie in with council activities inspired by the centenary of Armistice Day. It explores Anglo Saxon, King Ecgbert’s campaign to conquer Northumberland and become an overlord of England – which he did

in 829 at Dore, near the school that now bears his name. It also includes information about the founding and destruction of Sheffield Castle and how a Zeppelin raid during WWI destroyed 80 homes and killed 29 people. Visitors will also have the chance to see historical items including English Civil War pamphlets, WW2 gas mask, a soldier’s helmet and information on how Sheffield produced the first modern body armour and helmets,

campaigned for by Arthur Conan Doyle after being appalled by the loss of life during conﬂicts at Ypres. On loan to the exhibition too are items from local people’s personal collections, including a Princess Mary box; a gift sent by the Royal Family at Christmas 1914 to 355,000 soldiers overseas, and tea cups made and used on the frontline out of spent shell cases. During WWI Shefﬁeld became the armaments capital of the world and this is explored in more

detail by local Historian Dr. Chris Corker in his free event on Tuesday 4 December. Councillor Mary Lea, cabinet member for Culture, Parks and Leisure said: “Remembrance Sunday honours the dead of the first and second world wars, but Sheffield has seen conflict going back for centuries. This exhibition helps us to remember many people who’ve fought and died to make Sheffield the great place it is today – from the Chartists and the Trade Union

movement to the young women working in the factories pushing for women’s votes. We have a fascinating history and it’s something to be proud of.” The exhibition includes images from Picture Shefﬁeld, the city’s collection of 100,000 images recording all aspects of life in the city, alongside fascinating objects from the City Archives and private collections. The exhibition, which runs until the end of January, and the events running alongside it are free and all are welcome to attend.

What kind of noise does a nut make when it sneezes? Cashew. Scientists have grown human vocal chords in a Petri dish. The results speak for themselves. My friend and I started a business where we weigh tiny objects. It’s a small scale operation. “Daddy?

I asked my new girlfriend, “Does it bother you that I’ve slept with 47 women?” “Of course it does.” she replied. “But why?” I asked. She said, “Because it was 44 last week.” To the Scumbag that stole 300 cans of Red Bull from my shop, I don’t know how you can sleep at night. I ordered a thesaurus from Amazon but when it was delivered all the pages were blank. I have no words to describe how angry I am. My wife phoned me, panting and breathless. “Where are you?” she moaned. “I’m at the pub.” I replied. She said, “I think the baby’s coming!” I said, “She won’t get in, she’s underage.” The pot hole outside my house was so big it took six council workers to watch the guy who came to ﬁx it. I have recently been employed as a nightwatchman by a security ﬁrm owned by my ex girlfriend. My wife is furious that I still carry a torch for her .

1293 21/11/2018 RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS - THE EARLY SIGNS Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder that causes chronic inflammation of joints. RA tends to begin slowly with minor symptoms that come and go, usually on both sides of the body, which progresses over a period of weeks or months. Symptoms of this chronic condition vary from person to person and can change from day to day. Bouts of RA symptoms are called flareups, and inactive periods, when symptoms are less noticeable, are called remission. Fatigue You may feel unusually tired well before any other symptoms become obvious. Fatigue can come before the onset of other symptoms by weeks or months. It may come and go from week to week or day to day. Fatigue is sometimes accompanied by a general feeling of ill health or even depression. Morning stiffness Morning stiffness is often an early sign of arthritis. Stiffness that lasts for a few minutes is usually a symptom of a form of arthritis that can worsen over time without proper treatment. Stiffness that lasts for several hours is generally a symptom of inflammatory arthritis and is typical of RA. You may also feel stiffness after any period of prolonged inactivity like napping or sitting.

Joint stiffness Stiffness in one or more of the smaller joints is a common early sign of RA. This can occur at any time of day, whether you’re active or not. Typically, stiffness begins in the joints of the hands. It usually comes on slowly, although it can come on suddenly and affect multiple joints over the course of one or two days. Joint pain Joint stiffness is often followed by joint tenderness or pain during movement or while at rest. This also affects both sides of the body equally. In early RA, the most common sites for pain are the fingers and wrists. You may also experience pain in your knees, feet, ankles, or shoulders. Minor joint swelling Mild inflammation of the joints is typical early on, causing your joints to appear bigger than normal. This swelling is usually associated with warmth of the joints. Flare-ups can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, and this pattern can be expected to increase with time. Subsequent flare-ups may be felt in the same joints or in other joints. Fever When accompanied by other symptoms like joint pain and inflammation, a lowgrade fever may be an early warning sign that you have RA. However, a fever

HOW TO TRACE YOUR OLD PENSION POTS If you changed jobs several times over the course of your career, you might have a pension with more than one employer or provider. To help ensure you’re claiming everything you’re entitled to, it’s important to track down all the different pension schemes you’ve paid in to. According to Government statistics there’s more than £400 million of unclaimed pension savings in the UK. Make sure you claim what’s rightfully yours with our tips for tracing old pensions. Check your statements The first port of call should be to check old statements to get a better handle of your various pension pots. A statement should be sent to you each year. If you aren’t receiving any statements but know the pension provider or know you have a workplace pension, then try contacting the pension provider directly or the HR department of your former employer. Contacting your personal pension provider If you know who the pension provider is, you can contact them and trace your pension details directly. They’ll need a few details from you; your national insurance number, date of birth, as well as details about your plan number and when the pension was set up, if you have them. Ask for a thorough overview of your pension, including the value of the pot and if there is a nominated recipient for death benefits. Contacting your former employer If you have a workplace pension or don’t know the details of the pension provided through your employer, then contact your former employer directly. They will need your national insurance number, and the details of when you started and stopped working for the employer. Use the Pensions Tracing Service The Government also offers a Pensions Tracing Service to help you track down any lost pension benefits. If you are using this service, be very careful to only use

the ofﬁcial Government website – doing a web search will return dozens of results for services which may charge you, or worse, scam you out of money. Check to ensure you’re on the Government website before you proceed. Try the Unclaimed Asset Register There are paid services that can also help you track down old pensions, shares and insurance policies. For a £25 fee, the Unclaimed Asset Register will do a search of millions of records to help you track down the details. Reading further If you’re interested in reading further about tracing lost pensions, there are several websites that offer good information, including: The Pensions Advisory Service offers resources to help understand how to handle lost pensions. The Money Advice Service has excellent resources – including templates to help you write a pension-tracing letter to a former employer or pension provider. AgeUK offers useful resources to help you ﬁnd out more about pension schemes and the options available to you.

higher than 100°F (38°C) is more likely to be a sign of some other form of illness or an infection. Numbness and tingling Inflammation of tendons can create pressure on your nerves. This may cause numbness, tingling, or a burning feeling in your hands referred to as carpal tunnel syndrome. The joints of your hands or feet may even produce a squeak or crackling noise as damaged cartilage grinds against joints when you move. Decrease in range of motion Inflammation in your joints can cause tendons and ligaments to become unstable or deformed. As the disease progresses, you may find yourself unable to bend or straighten some joints. Although your range of motion may also be affected by pain, it’s important to engage in regular, gentle exercise. Other early symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis During the early stages of RA, you may feel a variety of symptoms, including: • general weakness or a feeling of malaise dry mouth • dry, itchy, or inflamed eyes • eye discharge • difficulty sleeping • chest pain when you breathe (pleurisy) • hard bumps of tissue under the skin on your arms • loss of appetite • weight loss See your doctor to get a proper diagnosis if you’re experiencing some of the early symptoms of RA.

The Council are offering free all day Sunday parking in Sheffield City Council on-street pay and display bays and car parks from Sunday 25th November to Sunday 23rd December. The offer was devised in conjunction with the council’s city centre management team, Sheffield BID and city centre retailers group.

The successful candidate will be fully trained and supported by experienced BBC presenters,

producers and journalists. They may also be expected to appear on other BBC radio, TV or digital programming across the corporation.

of a camera. Katrina Bunker, Editor of BBC Radio Shefﬁeld, said: “We’re really excited about ‘This Is Me.’ It’s such a brilliant opportunity for some unique local talent to get a foot in the door at the BBC. We’re really not looking for someone with journalistic experience; we want someone with a vibrant personality who is passionate about where they live. “South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire is such a great area for storytelling. People around here are known for their warmth and wit, so I expect we will discover some great characters in the auditions, we can’t wait to see who comes along.” Open auditions will be held on December 2nd at the New York Stadium in Rotherham from 10am where prospective candidates will be asked to tell a story in 60 seconds. Their story could be about themselves or something

local that they care about, it just needs to be their own story. Candidates will be told on the day if they are through to the next stage. The judging panel will be made up of Radio Sheffield breakfast presenter Toby Foster, Look North presenter Amy Garcia and Radio Sheffield editor Katrina Bunker. Magid Magid, the Lord Mayor of Sheffield and one of the presenters on The Monday Night Social, the new Monday evening show on the station, will also join the judging panel for part of the day. All auditions will be filmed and may be used for broadcast and on BBC social media. A shortlist will be drawnup and the successful candidates will be required to attend an interview at BBC Radio Sheffield in January. The winner will be announced shortly afterwards. The fixed-term post will be for one year and will start no later than February 2019. For more information, please visit bbc.co.uk/ radiosheffield.

THE SENSATIONAL 60’s EXPERIENCE RETURNS TO SHEFFIELD CITY HALL Without doubt the most explosive 60’s show touring the UK, for one night only. With a brand new production for 2018. Six legendary names take to the stage and deliver to you a night never to be forgotten. With the deﬁnite feel good factor this is the must see 60’s show for 2018. Now more than ever-the genuine article- Mike Pender is the voice of The Searchers. One of the greats to have come out of the Liverpool “Beat Boom”. His is the rich vocal talent so evident on so many of the Hit recordings that have become 60's classics. Everybody - even if they only have a passing interest in 60's Music, remembers "Needles and Pins" - one of the greatest ever records to come out of the greatest ever period in Pop Music History! There were, of course, many other 'Hit' recordings that feature not only Mike's vocals, but also his equally distinctive 12-string 'jangly' guitar sound that became such a feature of The Searchers' recordings. With over 50 years of success in the business Mike is still touring worldwide performing The Searchers million selling hits such as Sugar and Spice, Sweets For My Sweet , Don’t Throw Your Love Away , When You Walk In The Room and of course Needles and Pins. Chris Farlowe. Originally Chris Farlowe and The Thunderbirds started out in the late ﬁfties. Chris later moved on to perform all over Europe & still does to this day. His hits include classics like Out Of Time, Handbags and Glad Rags (which was also released by Rod Stewart as a single ) Mr Pitiful, All Or Nothing plus many more Herman’s Hermits throughout the mid-60’s music

scene proved to be a dominating force worldwide. From 1964 the band chalked up over 23 top 20 singles, 10 hit albums, 3 major movies. Hermans Hermits as of to date have sold 75,000,000 records worldwide. Their chart breaking hits include, Mrs Brown You’ve Got A Lovely Daughter, Silhouettes, There’s A Kind Of Hush, Henry V111, Something Is Happening & I’m Into Something Good The Swinging Blue Jeans have a history that spans back to the 1960’s. Over the years their hit singles ‘Hippy Hippy Shake’, ‘You’re No Good, ‘Good Golly Miss Molly and ‘Don’t Make Me Over’ have been the bedrock of the bands memorable live performances. The Dakotas were formed in Manchester in 1960. In 1962, at the suggestion of Paul McCartney and John Lennon, Brian Epstein teamed the band up with Billy J Kramer and they were signed up to EMI's Parlophone label. Their first hit was a Lennon/McCartney song, "Do You Want to Know a Secret" which reached No.2 in 1963. "Bad to Me" made the No.1 spot, then "I'll Keep You Satisfied" and "From a Window" both went into the Top 10. "Little Children" gave the band a second No.1 in the spring of 1964. The Fourmost gad their roots steeped in the eclectic 1960’s Mersey beat boom and was part of the Brian Epstein stable along with The Beatles, Billy J Kramer, Gerry and The Pacemakers, Cilla Black and others. The band has evolved from enjoying 1960’s chart hits such as Hello Little Girl, A Little Loving, I’m In Love, Baby I Need Your Lovin, Girls Girls Girls.

CARL ASHINGTON

VICTOR BROX Saturday November 24th

at the Toolmakers Brewery, Botsford Street, Shefﬁeld S3 9PF Manchester born blues legend Victor Brox is probably one of the most underrated champions of the British Blues scene and its unsung hero. This may well have been because he has refused to be pigeon-holed into any single category and has produced an eclectic style which often defied analysis. What cannot be disputed is his excellent singing voice, musical virtuosity and total eccentricity. He was described by Jimi Hendrix and Tina Turner as their favourite white blues singer. He is without doubt a national treasure. He has worked with: Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Ritchie Blackmore and Ian Gillan of Deep Purple, Charlie Mingus, Memphis Slim, Dr. John, Aynsley Dunbar, Graham Bond, Alexis Korner, John Mayall, Country Joe McDonald, Keith Moon, Bill Coleman and Screaming Lord Sutch. In 1970 Victor performed as Caiaphas on the original recording of Tom Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar.

ANGLER’S CORNER

After the first fish, a steady stream of grayling followed, and I delighted in watching the bright red tip of the float dance from eddy to eddy with Clint Walker before disappearing as fish after fish stacked up. I’ve blanked once this week. My pursuit of In between the Lady of the Stream, an odd trout pike ruined by a day of glorious sunshine, slipped up, their beautiful colours resplendent peace and tranquillity, and fish that didn’t in the autumn sun, before yet another delicately want to feed… It was awful to have to sit and hued grayling beat them to the bait. It was going watch the world pass slowly by, drink tea, and well, but then a shadow fell over the swim and munch bacon and beans whilst I pondered I looked up to see a man standing starkly above under a fabulously warm November sun; I the bank, watching my float tumble downstream. really don’t know why I do it… so I had to go “Can you just drop off my skyline please?” I again later in the week to see if I could work asked politely. “WHAT?” he bellowed, clearly it out! deaf. “Just duck down a bit if you will, you’ll I don’t fish the river as much as I should, but spoil the swim, thanks.” I signalled for him to when I do, I enjoy it immensely. There is crouch. He took one step back; “I HAVEN’T something about moving water that you just SEEN ANY FISH; HAVE YOU CAUGHT don’t get when sat by lake or pond; every cast ANYTHING?” His yelling and posturing was is different, the angling situation constantly clearly going to ruin any chance of further fish, changes by the minute, and often, you just don’t so I put the rod down, crept up the bank, and know what you will catch next! I wanted to gently (honestly!) explained that by exposing target grayling, long trotting with a stick float, so himself to the skyline in such a way, it greatly opted to drop onto a stretch of the River Churnet, increased his chance of getting wet, propelled a narrow club waterway in Staffordshire. I much by anglers less polite than I, and that he should prefer the intimacy of smaller rivers, especially perhaps approach with a little more decorum… when float fishing, and love to try and work out then we would both enjoy our day! just where the fish will be lying up at any given He disappeared, muttering off towards other point in the day. Conditions weren’t great, with anglers as I followed in his wake. There was low, clear water and bright sun, so stealth was no point trotting the float through after the necessary to slide down the bank, feed a few disturbance, so I threw in some maggots, added maggots and a pinch or two of hemp (in case a little more hemp, and went for a chat with carp there were any roach) before stepping well back anglers on the lake behind to let things settle. from the water’s edge to tackle up. An 11’ float The carpers were also finding the fishing hard, rod and small reel loaded with 4lb line went having had a single carp and a bream between together, then a size 18 hook was suspended them, so after a brief discussion, I made my way beneath an ancient Ivan Marks balsa stick float back to the river. As I did, I met Mick the bailiff which was cocked with 3BB shot; perfect. who had noted my van in the car park and come Before trotting the float through, I fed the to see how I was doing. I like Mick, he is a fine swim for a few minutes before introducing chap who is genuinely pleased when others catch the float at the head of the swim, watching it fish and also delights in sharing his latest session, lazily drift downstream, hoping it went under. so we get on well. He’s fished the club waters It didn’t, so was hastily retrieved, a few more for many years, so is a wealth of information, maggots, and another pinch of hemp went in, but is one of those anglers who will also soak and the float dropped amongst the free offerings. up new information too; I like people like that, Again, it spun downstream undisturbed, and the unassuming, obliging, and pleasant… it’s a pity process was repeated for the next hour until it there aren’t a few more like Mick. We chatted finally slipped away, and the familiar thud of a for a while, then he ambled off back towards grayling was felt. This particular stretch is an his car as I settled back into my chair. The first exceptionally long glide of well over six hundred trot through, and as the float spiralled down the yards, a place where the river has been ‘designed’ edge, twisting in the helical flow, it shot under to skirt a residential area, so careful feeding can and I connected with the best grayling of the bring fish up from a long way downstream. The day, a plump fish of around a pound in weight, swim I’d chosen had around four feet of water, which battled feistily before sliding into the tailing off to a much shallower run where my net.

The sport had slowed somewhat, but I was still catching odd fish despite having to work a little harder. After another hour, as the red tip reached the end of the swim, the float shot out of sight and a much better fish was hooked. A few seconds of staying deep made me hope for a monster grayling, but the fish suddenly erupted from the water, and I spied a hefty trout splash back down. Trout fight well too, so I was careful to tease the fish away from underwater obstructions and slowly gain ground until it came within netting range. I got it first time, easing it into the net, and put down my rod to unhook it. I lifted the net to my knee, and the trout, estimated at about 3lb, flipped in the net and snapped the 2lb hook link. I removed the hook and slid the fish back into the water, but as I couldn’t be bothered to tie another, that was the excuse I needed to pack up after a fun day and return to the carp park. A total of twenty odd grayling, a few trout and a couple of dace had provided me with plenty fun, and all from the smallest of river swims! If you haven’t tried trotting a float down the river, then you really should; you’re missing out otherwise! I think it only fitting to end this week’s column by paying homage to an angling great, Mr. John Wilson, who sadly passed away recently. The words ‘legend’ and ‘celebrity’ are bandied about far too commonly these days, after all, it is only fishing, but in every sense, John was rightly both

to many anglers. I was never fortunate enough or close enough to be able to call him a friend, but on the odd occasion I was lucky enough to meet him, he brightened my day considerably with peals of hearty laughter, good advice, and general bonhomie. I read of his early struggles to bring angling to the masses on mainstream television, before ﬁnally making ground with Anglia TV, and the popular ‘Go Fishing’ series was the result; it’s still watched today, and along with his many books, has been responsible for bringing many newcomers to our humble pastime, and for that, we should be ever grateful. Rest in Peace John, best wishes to those you left behind, and thank you for your angling…

Week 14 of the County Senior League was a busy one, as Saturday saw 18 games take place across the league’s four divisions. Premier Division It is getting very tight at the top of the Premier Division, with just six points separating the top five places. Leaders North Gawber Colliery fell to their first home defeat of the season on Saturday, as they were beaten 3-1 by Penistone Church Reserves. Penistone move into third place with the win, just four points off North Gawber, with a game spare. Second placed Dodworth Miners Welfare sit in second (only on goal difference) after a huge 7-1 away win over South Kirkby Colliery. In fourth place are Stocksbridge Park Steels Reserves, who this weekend were held 2-2 away at second bottom High Green Villa. Stocksbridge are four points off the pace, with a game in hand. Defending champions Swinton Athletic continued their excellent form, with a 4-1 win over Denaby United. Enzo Guarini (2), Darren Walker and Regan Kelly were all on target for Swinton, who sit in fifth place, six points off the leaders, with a game in hand. Leon Howarth scored twice to inspire Frecheville to an impressive 4-1 away win over Jubilee Sports. Mid-table Frecheville have won four out of their last five in all competitions. Goals from Charles Tunnard and Aaron Worsfold gave Oughtibridge WMSC a 2-1 win against Handsworth Parramore Reserves at Oliver’s Mount. Wombwell Main were also 2-1 winners away from home, as they beat Hepworth United at Far Lane. Division One Ecclesfield Red Rose 1915 continued their 100% start to the season, with a routine 3-0 home win over Hemsworth Miners Welfare Reserves. Ecclesfield have won all 10 of their league games

RICHIE DETERMINED TO MAKE NEXT INTERNATIONAL STEP Rotherham United’s Richie Towell is determined to fulfill his international ambitions after making back-to-back provisional squads with the Republic of Ireland. The Brighton loanee, alongside Ryan Manning, were both named by boss Martin O’Neill in the initial squad, before being released back to the Millers after the final group was confirmed last week. For Towell, this is the second time he has been on the cusp of an appearance in a full senior squad, with the 27-year-old determined to keep working hard to ensure he goes one better next time around. “It was a great honour to be named in the provisional squad,” Richie told www.themillers.co.uk “I feel like I am getting a little bit closer, that’s two provisional squads I have been named in now. The next step for me is not just to get into the final squad - as a player you always want to represent your country, and that is my aim. “Obviously before this season I hadn’t been named in any senior squads, so to be named has been great but whilst I am proud there is still some work to do, I need to keep concentrating, working hard and hopefully my time will come. If I am playing well for Rotherham, then the two will link in with each other. I am keeping my feet on the ground, I know the standards and I am determined to keep meeting those standards for Rotherham.” Towell has become a firm favourite with the Millers faithful after playing a starring role for Paul Warne’s side as they earned promotion back to The Championship at the first time of asking. The likable midfielder looked set to end his association with the Millers after Play-off success at Wembley, as Warne was forced into an agonising wait to see if another loan stint was possible. In scenes similar to his initial arrival, a deal was finally concluded close to deadline day, with Towell

easing seamlessly back into life in South Yorkshire. After cementing his place back within the heart of the Millers’ engine room, Towell is keen to keep standards high, which in turn could help his next ambition of becoming a fully ﬂedged international. “It will be great if I can make the jump, not just for me but for all my family,” Towell added. “They, and my friends, were over the moon that I managed to get into the provisional squad. I’ve had a lot of messages of support which is great, and that will spur me on to keep going and make that break into the full squad. To represent my country would be a dream come true and a real honour. My focus now is with Rotherham, I want to keep playing to the best of my ability and we’ll see where that takes me.”

Rotherham United were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our former player Gordon Morritt, aged 76. A Rotherham-born goalkeeper, Gordon joined the Millers from local football and would go on to make 88 senior appearances for the Millers between 1961 and 1966. Gordon appeared during the club’s famous run to the 1961 League Cup final and despite not featuring in the inaugural two-legged fixture, he was awarded a runners-up medal for his contribution. His association with the Millers started on the terraces as a youngster, it was said he even sold chocolates and crisps on the perimeter track. His formative years were as a defender but after a stint in goal, it was decided that his long-term future would be as custodian. His meteoric rise culminated in joining the Millmoor staff as a stopper within 18 months of changing position. Gordon made his first team debut in the League Cup victory over Darlington in September 1961 and in that season he would enjoy an unbeaten sequence of 10 consecutive games. He would have undoubtedly played more matches

elsewhere, but with the Millers already boasting Roy Ironside as number one he had to wait patiently for his opportunity. Gordon would eventually become number one in 1964/65, where he would play 42 times in league and cup – he even played as a centre forward in a midweek League Cup tie at Swansea! Gordon was also a regular scorer in attack for the reserves. He left Millmoor in 1966 taking up a new challenge playing for Durban City in South Africa. After returning to the UK in 1967 with Doncaster Rovers, he would go on to have spells with Northampton Town, York City, Rochdale and Darlington. During his spell with York he was involved in a promotion to the Third Division and whilst at Darlington, he played under his former Rotherham skipper Peter Madden. Following his retirement he moved to York but regularly attended Rotherham United games as a guest of the club, and was also a familiar face at Rotherham United’s Nostalgia Society meetings. Everyone at Rotherham United would like to express their sincere condolences to Gordon’s family and friends at this sad time. Once a Miller, Always a Miller.

ROWE DELIGHTED WITH RETURN AGAINST WIMBLEDON Rovers captain Tommy Rowe was pleased just to be on the pitch against Wimbledon - so to hit the winner on his return from 10 weeks out with a hamstring injury was the stuff of dreams. The midﬁelder came on with just over quarter of an hour to play, and his piledriver sealed all three points after Ali Crawford’s sunning goal had got Rovers back in the game. He said: “It was a great feeling just to be involved on a matchday, being around the lads

and talking to them. “It was great to get on the pitch, first and foremost, it has been 10 weeks and I’m delighted with the the result and the togetherness of the lads.” Saturday’s match was one where Rovers had to dig in against one of the most physical sides they have faced this season, and Rowe was pleased his side showed their determination to get a win. He added: “It was one of them games which you could tell was going to be a tight affair. We know we are not always going to play fluent football every week, but then you need to stay in the game and be dogged as we know we always have players in the bench who can come on produce goals. “We like to dominate the ball for 90 minutes, but you can’t do that all the time. The lads stuck in when it got hard, especially in the first-half when there were a lot of challenges flying in but we didn’t get frustrated: discipline was the key word before the game, and I thought we were exceptional.”

JIM ILEY - 1935-2018 BLADES U23 TAKE A POINT AWAY AT BOLTON Shefﬁeld United are saddened to hear of the passing of former player, Jim Iley. Jim was working at Frickley Colliery when he joined the Blades following a trial and he played a couple of games, impressing enough to earn a chance to play football full-time. He worked well under the guidance of United manager Joe Mercer and also represented the

Football League against the Irish in 1956. Jim was a strong, mainly left footed player who could put a hard tackle in - he also had a formidable shot as well. His Blades career, from 1953 until 1957, saw him make 112 appearances and score 13 goals. He joined Spurs in 1957, moving on to Nottingham Forest, but he had some of his best

years at Newcastle United, making just short of 250 senior appearances for the Magpies before going on to manage Peterborough United, Barnsley, Blackburn Rovers Bury and Exeter City - after retirement he settled in Bolton. Sincere condolences from everyone at Bramall Lane are with the Iley family at this sad time.

United had been relatively in control of the game when Hallam bundled a Harry Sheppeard cross home from inside the six-yard box. United’s Under 23s took home a point away at Bolton Wanderers after being pegged back second half from a 1-0 halftime lead. United had been relatively in control of the game when Hallam bundled a Harry Sheppeard cross home from inside the six-yard box under

pressure from the Bolton defence. But a header 15 minutes from time by Joe Pritchard ensured a share of the points on a night where either side could have nicked it. United started the better side and threatened to get in behind the Bolton defence on several occasions, but the first chance came when a pull back found George Broadbent who sliced his effort wide. In control for large parts of the opening 20 minutes, United looked for the ball in behind the defenders but Simeon Oure was flagged offside when he broke through one on one with Jake Turner. At the other end, Jordan Amissah had to be alert to push away Jordan Boon’s header from a corner and Blades would take the lead just under 10 minutes later. Great work from Sheppeard combined with Hallam’s eye for goal saw the winger’s cross find the striker inside the six-yard box, and despite not making clean contact the ball bobbled into the corner of the net. It should have been 2-0 just minutes later when Oure found Hallam, the striker’s neat flick finding Reece York but his

low effort was well pushed away by Turner. United struggled to build momentum after the break, Jack Earing firing an early warning sign just over the bar before Amissah was called upon to make a brilliant save when Matthew Barnes got free on the left and hammered an effort at his near post. Pressure told with 15 minutes to go as a cross from the right found Pritchard who headed back across goal into the corner, leaving Amissah with no chance. Bolton continued to press forward but it was United who had a chance to steal it with five minutes to go. Sheppeard again with a dangerous ball in from the right and Oure couldn’t quite turn enough to get his powerful effort inside the post. The hosts could have nicked in the final seconds when Pritchard’s effort hit both bar and post but didn’t cross the line, much to United’s relief. Blades: Amissah, Williams, Cantrill, Neal (Brunt 67), Graham, York, Sheppeard, Broadbent, Oure, Hallam, Mallon. Unused: S. Kelly, Gordon, Belehouan, Boyes.

INTERNATIONAL GOALS FOR FLETCHER AND BORUKOV Steven Fletcher marked his return to the Scotland squad with a goal against Albania on Saturday evening at the Loro Boriçi Stadium. The Owls striker

was recalled to the national side for the ﬁrst time in 13 months and bagged his 10th goal for his country in the ﬁrst half. Ryan Fraser broke

the deadlock after 14 minutes in the UEFA Nations League clash. Then two minutes into ﬁrst half stoppage time, Fletcher made it 2-0 sending the goalkeeper the wrong

way from the penalty spot. Two goals after the break from James Forrest sealed an emphatic 4-0 wins for the Scots in Shkoder. Meanwhile, Preslav Borukov had an afternoon to remember for

Bulgaria Under-19s. The Wednesday Under-23 forward scored a stunning ﬁrst half hat-trick in his country’s 6-0 win over Gibraltar. The UEFA Under19 Championship qualiﬁcation clash at the Stadion Hadzhi

Dimitar saw the Owls youngster score a treble in ten ﬁrst half minutes. Goals on 12, 20 and 22 minutes marked Borukov’s ﬁrst hat-trick on the international stage.

DRAW A LINE UNDERNEATH Joey Pelupessy says with the losing run brought to a halt, it is important to draw a line underneath the recent downturn in results and look forward to the festive bout of ﬁxtures. A draw last time out the in the Shefﬁeld derby was followed by the international

The ﬁrst of those takes place on Saturday with Derby the visitors at Hillsborough before Bolton come to S6 three days later. “We can draw a line underneath that run,” Pelupessy told swfc. co.uk. “Stopping the losing run with a point gave us a little boost. “Had we won the game it would have been a bigger boost, but we worked hard and stuck together and now we can look forward to the next games with this feeling. “The positive thing is that we can go into a run of home games

with a good feeling. “We need wins, of course, we know what we have to do. We lost four games, we stopped that run in an important game for the club and now we must move forward.” And with the Rams riding high, Saturday’s clash at Hillsborough promises to be every bit as tough and the Dutchman has underlined the importance of producing the goods on home soil. “You have to work hard, play hard and ﬁght and that is what we aim to do. “If you had lost the last game, it was a derby, ﬁve games in a row and then a break so for the mentality of the team and psychology of ending that run it was huge for us.”
