Fanzone, Leicester, Pre Match England V Switzerland
The City Of Leicester played host to an international friendly match between England and Switzerland on 11th September 2018 and the city came alive pre-match with a Fanzone on Jubilee Square featuring freestyle football displays and bands playing in the streets.
My film starts off in Jubilee Square where the freestylers show off their skills before we follow a Jazz band as they perform in front of Leicesters famous sporting success statue and Clock tower, before heading back along high street meeting the three lions mascots as they return to the fanzone.

In this episode we see N'Golo Kanté in one of his greatest performances during the 2014/15 season against Marseille. His team; Caen were newly promoted from Ligue 2 and they came into Stade Vélodrome losing 2-0 with 20 mins left. They then rallied back to win 2-3! He helped Caen stay in Ligue 1, finishing 13th place. Leicester City signed him that summer for €9M and well, the rest is history!
His statistics during that game are as follows:
1 Assist
78% Pass success
7/10 Tackles completed
7 Interceptions
3 Chances created
2 Successful dribbles
“The Match That Made” is a new series that I'm experimenting with. The concept is to show the superstars of today, in their best performance of the season before they got signed to a top club. Of course 1 game doesn't make the player who they are today but those special performances are the ones that catch the eyes of world watching!
Let me know who you would like to see next time on “The Match That Made”!

[DPRK Sport] U-20 Women's Football Team Welcomed Home after Winning World Cup
The women's football team of the DPRK got back home Tuesday after placing first in the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.
A great number of citizens in Pyongyang turned out in streets to welcome the women footballers.
The girls were greeted at Pyongyang International Airport by Ri Ryong Nam, vice-premier of the Cabinet, Kim Il Guk, minister of Physical Culture and Sports, and officials concerned.
Sportspersons and family members of the girls put fragrant garlands around the footballers and coaches' necks and presented bouquets of flowers to them.
The bus carrying the players left the airport for the city amid the welcome by residents of Sunan District.
They were warmly welcomed by Pyongyangites at Ryonghung Crossroads, the street of the Arch of Triumph, Changjon Crossroads, etc.
They visited the statues of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il on Mansu Hill and placed a floral basket and bunches of flowers before them and paid tribute to them.
Culture Secretary Experiences What Leicester has to Offer
The Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Maria Miller arrived in Leicester today to experience a small taste of what is hoping to score the city its UK City of Culture title in 2017.
With a wealth of culture and sport for the Culture Secretary to experience, it was a hard task to choose only two activities. However top of the agenda for the visit was experiencing the diversity of Leicester's performing arts scene, and seeing the world-wide interest generated by the discovery of King Richard III.
City Mayor Peter Soulsby, There is so much we could show her, with the extraordinary diversity of cultural activity that takes place in our schools, within our communities and across the city, and so many people we would like her to meet -- but we've had to compress it all into a two-hour visit.
The Secretary of State enjoyed a sneak preview of rehearsals for the community production of Sweeney Todd at Curve, before meeting the cast and some of the young people who are enjoying Curve's Young Arts Entrepreneurs initiative. Whilst talking about the arts scene here the Secretary said It's a fantastic city which is hugely diverse and I think the investment here, particularly in the theatre, shows how you can breathe new life into the cultural quarter in a really innovative way.
It was then that she headed to Leicester's Guildhall to visit the Richard III exhibition before walking to the city council car park where the King's remains were discovered and visiting the site of the permanent Richard III visitor centre on St Martin's which is due to open Spring 2014.
After a swift but lively trip to the city, The Culture Secretary carried on her tour of Leicestershire with a visit to Loughborough University.
Ministers from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport are visiting the four shortlisted cities for the title in 2017; a label Mrs Miller called a real seal of achievement. Once the visits have been completed each city will prepare and submit their final bid by the end of September before the winner is announced in November 2013.

Keith Miller cricket's rockstar
Keith Miller cricketer A member of the record-breaking Invincibles, at the time of his retirement from Test cricket in 1956, Miller had the best statistics of any all-rounder in cricket history.[5] He often batted high in the order, sometimes as high as number three. He was a powerful striker of the ball, and one straight six that he hit at the Sydney Cricket Ground was still rising when it hit the upper deck of the grandstand. Miller was famous for varying his bowling to bemuse batsmen: he made sparing use of slower deliveries and would often adjust his run-up, surprisingly bowling his fastest deliveries from a short run. He was also a fine fielder and an especially acrobatic catcher in the slips.[6]
Away from cricket, Miller was also a successful Australian rules footballer. He played for St Kilda and was selected to represent the Victorian state team. He played 50 games for St Kilda, for whom he kicked eight goals in one game against North Melbourne, during 1941.[7]
Miller's personality – love of the contest, rather than victory, and his larger-than-life rebelliousness and carousing – helped both shape and limit his cricketing career, as he espoused the opposite of the more puritanical values of Donald Bradman, his captain and later national selector. Neville Cardus referred to Miller as the Australian in excelsis; Daily Mail sportswriter Ian Wooldridge's response was By God he was right.[4] This status was reflected when Miller was made one of the ten inaugural members of the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame.
Martin Keown
Martin Raymond Keown is an English former professional footballer who played as a defender from 1984 to 2005 notably in the Premier League for Arsenal where he made over 300 appearances for the club and won nine major trophies.
He also played for Brighton & Hove Albion, Aston Villa, Everton, Leicester City and Reading. Keown made his England debut in 1992 against France and went on to win 43 caps for the national side over the next 10 years, gradually forming a respected defensive partnership with Arsenal team-mate Tony Adams at both club and international level. Keown represented England at four major international football finals including the 1998 and 2002 World Cups.

Leicester Is A City With More To Cheer About Than Just An Amazing Football Success Story
There’s a palpable sense of cheeriness on Leicester’s streets. People walk around with knowing smirks, strangers stop to chat, shops and restaurants display signs paying homage to footballing heroes.
And then there’s the blue sea of Leicester City shirts and posters. Even if you’d spent the last year in a bubble, you’d soon realise something pretty major has happened here.
Ever since Leicester went from underdogs to surprise Premier League champions in one of sport’s biggest ever shake-ups, it seems like the whole city has been partying. It makes for a great atmosphere, but there’s so much more to Leicester than football.
We kicked off our stay at the King Richard III Visitor Centre, located on the car park where the sovereign’s remains lay for 500 years before being found in 2012. You get a child-friendly history of Richard’s controversial reign and the hunt to find his skeleton.
He was thought to have been tossed in a river after he died in 1485 at the Battle of Bosworth until modern researchers had a hunch he had actually been buried.
Now, thanks to a glass floor, you can peer down at the very spot where he turned up, with a hologram giving you an eerie idea of how he lay there for centuries.
Admire Richard’s stately bronze statue outside, then pop into Leicester Cathedral across the courtyard where Richard was re-interred in March 2015.
If you’re one of the millions who followed Tim Peake’s International Space Station mission then you’ll love the National Space Centre, the UK’s biggest venue devoted to space and astronomy.
Highlights include an entertaining film about how humanity was formed from stars screened in the enormous domed planetarium – Britain’s largest – and the astronaut training course.
he kids sniggered through a humorous talk about the “gross” things bodies go through in space – including whether it’s wise to burp. But their favourite bit was the chance to make TV weather forecasts which are beamed out to passers-by.
The King Richard III Centre and the National Space Centre are two of the venues you can visit as part of Leicester’s great value Stay Play Explore short break, which includes one night’s B&B for a family plus a hat trick of activities.
I stayed at the Hilton Leicester, a few minutes’ drive from the centre, with husband Tim and our children Harvey, 15, Max, 13, Rosie, 10, and Freddie, seven.
Our room was enormous – it’s rare to find hotel rooms big enough for six – and the hearty buffet breakfast had everything from haggis to smoked salmon. The indoor heated swimming pool was a bonus too.
r our third activity we headed to the brilliant Leicester Outdoor Pursuits Centre. There are heaps of land and water-based activities but we started off our one-and-a-half hour session included in the package: climbing for young Freddie, canoeing for the rest.
Our instructor Steve instigated races and games on the River Soar including leaping between canoes. It was fantastic fun for all – even for Max, who fell in!
We also tried archery, the high ropes and a thrilling family fencing session.
But back to the football. Like many local firms, Indian restaurant Lilu was behind their team. They created a special menu, including Vardy Venison for its star striker.
Blues manager Claudio Ranieri even popped in to try his own lamb dish, Ranieri Rack. Deliciously spicy and innovative, I’ve never tasted Indian food like it.
All in all, a champion break.
Richard III : University of Leicester Ceremony. 22/03/15
Marking the historic last journey of our King. From the University Campus, the mortal remains of Richard were transfered first back to Bosworth Battlefield, and then in to Leicester, where he was formerly reinterned.

Welcome to Berlin Motherf*cker! | Derby Days Berlin | 1. FC Union Berlin v Hertha BSC
Deutsche Untertitel verfügbar.
English and German subtitles available
In a city that has experienced the highs and lows of humanity from centuries of war and conflict to decades of cabaret and culture, the only thing it hasn’t seen, is a top flight derby. Well, at least not for forty years.
Until now.
Off the back of our insane trip to Superclåsico in Buenos Aires, Derby Days is back for season 5 and this time it's all about The Wait. The intense rivalries between clubs from England to Germany to Italy that haven’t met for 7, 8 even 13 years. What happens to a rivalry when there’s an absence of meetings? Is it a case of absence makes the heart grow fonder or is the rivalry even more heated thanks to the anxious wait?
In Episode 2 we head to Berlin, as for the very first time in Bundesliga 1, the city’s big club Hertha Berlin, based in the West, take on the rising force of the East, Union Berlin. Just like the city, the two clubs share a contradicting, complex and storied relationship, unlike any other in world football. As a result this meeting always promised to be a special occasion both on and off the pitch. It certainly delivered.
A special thank you to Harris, Mike, Will, Anna, Steve, Uli, Micha and Daniel at HBSC, Hannes and Robert at Union, Olly, Barbara, Endi, Charlie, Daniela at the DFL, Roy and Gabe, Phillip, Mo & Peji at the courtyard Marriot and in particular Carim and Jacob. This film wouldn't be what it is without you!

Gordon Banks rose from the ashes of bagging coal in Sheffield to win it all at Wembley
Subscribe to our channel: Banks rose from the ashes of bagging coal in Sheffield to win it all at Wembley. It was a clash of the titans in the Mexican heat. Guadalajara, 1970, Carlos Alberto with an inviting pass in behind the English rear-guard, latched onto by Jairzinho who hung it in the air for Pele to rise and finish the script. But something, or someone, changed the ending.
What stood in the way of Pele's powerful downward header was the greatest save of all time, a moment that came to define the career of a gentle and humorous man from Sheffield.
Gordon Banks has died aged 81 but he will last long in the memory as England's World Cup-winning goalkeeper and the man who pulled off that famous save.

- Read Sportsmail’s interview with England’s World Cup-winning goalkeeper from 2016 on how he got poisoned at the 1970 World Cup and why THAT save wasn’t his best ever
Banksy, as he was affectionately known, is widely considered as one of the best goalkeepers the game has ever produced. He was named Football Writers' Footballer of the Year in 1972 and FIFA Goalkeeper of the Year an incredible six times.
The English Football Hall of Fame inductee was also named as one of the greatest living footballers in 2004, from possibly the greatest the man whose goal-bound header he foiled.
Pele even unveiled a statue of Banks in his honour outside of Stoke's stadium in 2008, 38 years after their worlds collided in Guadalajara.
The great shot stopper was born into humble beginnings in 1937. He was raised in Sheffield's working-class area of Tinsley.
His physical strength grew alongside his work ethic as he hauled coal, dug trenches and laid bricks to earn his keep aged 15. He said in a BBC interview: 'I didn't realise at the time it was building the muscles in my arms and legs. It helped me in a roundabout way.'
It was while playing for local amateur side Millspaugh that he was offered a trial by Chesterfield in March 1953. This move was his first step in a journey to the zenith of football.
Banks served his country between the sticks and on the front line. He completed his national service in Germany where he met his wife Ursula in 1955. She was working in a shop selling shirts and Gordon was one of her customers.
Banks had three children with Ursula, Robert (born July 1958), Wendy (1963), and Julia (1969). He separated from Ursula during his stint in America with Fort Lauderdale Strikers, but the couple reunited when Banks returned to England to be appointed as a coach at Port Vale.
Banks had an unsuccessful sojourn into management, feeling that Port Vale players didn't take his advice on board. He also applied for vacant positions at Lincoln City and Rotherham United, but was rejected. He instead accepted the role as manager of Alliance Premier League club Telford United – but after leaving the club temporarily to have surgery, he was sacked on his return.
He was offered the position of raffle-ticket seller on his return, and accepted the post in the belief that it would entitle him to the money owed to him in the terms of his management contract. He eventually had to settle for 50 percent of his contract and later stated: 'It broke my heart... I did not want to stay in the game.'
Banks's time between the sticks was much more successful. He made 628 appearances during a 15-year career in the Football League and was named by FIFA as the second-best goalkeeper ever after the great Lev Yashin.
Banks truly established himself after Leicester paid Chesterfield £7000 for his services, a large sum in 1959. It was here that Banks started his upward trajectory, becoming a club

Gordon Banks
Gordon Banks, OBE (born 30 December 1937) is a former England international football goalkeeper. He made 628 appearances during a 15 year career in the Football League, and won 73 caps for his country. The IFFHS named Banks the second best goalkeeper of the 20th century – after Lev Yashin (1st) and ahead of Dino Zoff (3rd). He was named FWA Footballer of the Year in 1972, and was named FIFA Goalkeeper of the Year on six occasions.
He joined Chesterfield in March 1953, and played for the youth team in the 1956 FA Youth Cup final. He made his first team debut in November 1958, and was sold to Leicester City for £7,000 in July 1959. He played in four cup finals for the club, as they were beaten in the 1961 and 1963 FA Cup finals, before winning the League Cup in 1964 and finishing as finalists in 1965. During this time he established himself as England's number one goalkeeper, and played every game of the nation's 1966 World Cup victory. Despite this success, he was dropped by Leicester and sold on to Stoke City for £50,000 in April 1967. He made one of the game's great saves to prevent a Pelé goal in the 1970 World Cup, but was absent due to illness as England were beaten by West Germany at the quarter-final stage.

Piccadilly Circus Reveals Its New Lights | On The Scene
The luminescent advertising billboard of London’s Piccadilly Circus has been turned back on after 10 months of renovations. The switch to one large, curved screen offers its advertisers greater flexibility, and acts as a showcase for the power of digital out of home.
The old display, which featured several detached screens, has been replaced by one 780sqm 4K LED board. Site owner Landsec claims it to be the largest single display in Europe, comprising 11.6m bulbs.
The one-screen solution allows for brand takeovers of the entire outdoor space. The screen will usually be divided into six moving blocks, however, which shuffle in order habitually. The curved inventory will also be capable of hosting live video, weather, sport and news updates, as well as social media feeds.
Children’s charity Barnados kicked off the switch on at 8am this morning with a display celebrating the success of its #PiccadillyOn campaign, which raised funds in the run-up to the launch.
L’Oreal, eBay, Stella McCartney, Hunter, Hyundai and Samsung have signed up to the debut advertising spots alongside old faithful Coca-Cola, which first bought media space in Piccadilly in 1955. Perrier was the first to launch a light up sign at the intersection in 1908.
The change is a significant one for proponents of digital outdoor, given the increased flexibility and personalisation opportunities offered to partner brands at what has now become a London landmark. The screen has also been built with audience and car recognition technology, giving advertisers the ability to tailor content dependent on who is walking or driving by.
“At a time when there are more advertising opportunities for brands than ever before, there are only a handful of advertising spaces in the world that are as iconic and unique as the Piccadilly Lights,” said Aedamar Howlett, Coca-Cola Great Britain and Ireland marketing director.
“The new technology will allow us to be more creative with how we use the space, providing new opportunities to tailor our messages in real time and engage consumers directly with our content.”
