Yorkshire Personality of the Year 2000

Gabby Yorath - Picture Mark Bickerdike

Ah well, I've been over-looked again ... It was great to see last week's 10 November, 2000 edition of the Yorkshire Evening Post carrrying a full page spread devoted to Terry's (Leeds United squad) better looking daughter, Gabby Yorath. See This is Leeds Your Guide to the Leeds Area from Regional Independent Media which carried the full front page report as follows ...

TV sports presenter Gabby Yorath broke down in tears last night as she was awarded the Yorkshire Personality of the Year award.

In an emotional ceremony at Elland Road, the 27-year-old wept tears of joy as she received the region’s top award, watched from the audience by her former Leeds United star father Terry.

As she picked up the honour, Leeds-born Gabby paid tribute to her “wonderful parents” Terry and Christine.

She said: “It is all thanks to the love and support of two very wonderful parents. They have encouraged all their children to do what they wanted and helped them to achieve it.”

Gabby, a law graduate from Durham University, began her media career on Metro radio, covering teams like Newcastle and Sunderland. She soon became a star on Sky TV before making her name as Britain's most famous female soccer presenter, fronting ITV’s primetime On The Ball show alongside Barry Venison.

Before presenting sports shows, she herself was a major player – in gymnastics. She competed at international and Olympic level before a back injury cut short her career.

Gabby announced her engagement to Wasps and Scotland Rugby Union winger Kenny Logan in July. They are to marry next summer.

Louise Unlucky 13

Sticking with the limited female content of this site ... Louise's latest single, 'Beautiful Inside' debuted last week at a lowly (for her) 13 in the UK charts. Now in it's second week it has already begun to free fall.

Gymslips and the over 13s

Meanwhile, hubby Jamie Redknapp - laid up with injury at present has been involved with a Government initiative to encourage British teenage girls to keep participating in sport. It seems the clothing worn during gym lessons and the choice of sports available have been putting the UK's teenages off. Jamie has been recruited to get the girls' attention.

Owen Scores ... And Pulls Out !

Related to the last item only by the fact that Jamie's team mate, Michael Owen - Terry's son (Bradford City) - got a UEFA Cup winner against Slovan Liberec. Owen's 82nd minute goal made it 3-1 to Liverpool - the game ended 3-2. The game was away from home in the second round, second leg of the competition. This gave Liverpool a 4-2 aggregate win in and a place in the 3rd round. See liverpoolfc.tv teamsheet 2000-2001 november Slovan Liberec 2 - 3 Liverpool

Michael did make Peter Taylor's first squad as England's caretaker manager against Italy in Turin, but was forced to pull out with back injury. Taylor later said he hadn't planned on putting Michael in the starting line up anyway (oh no, here we go - England leaving out their best players, where have I heard that one before ...). Michael will be back for the next Liverpool match, however.

Lampard's In

Frank Lampard Junior - Frank's son (West Ham United) - also made the England squad, but also did not get a game. Frank was captain of the England Under 21's formerly managed by Peter Taylor. See Nationwide's football site England

Currie Scores !

Darren Currie - Tony's nephew (Sheffield United) -went two better with his hatrick for Barnet against Blackpool in a 7-0 home victory in Division 3. Darren's goals were the 4th, 5th and 7th goals coming in minutes 45, 76 and 83. The game was Tony Cottee's first game ever as a manager and he even got the opening goal ! Tony is being touted as the next England manager on the strength of his record in football management. See netbees.co.uk - Story

Ferguson Scores !

Another Darren, - this time Alex Ferguson's son - was on target yet again for Wrexham in their Division 2 home defeat to Stoke City earlier in the month. Darren's 65th minute penalty pulled the score back to 2-1 and that remained the score at the end of the match. Darren hasn't missed a match for Wrexham this season and has now scored seven times - twice from the penalty spot. Wrexham are in 14th place after 17 games. See Stoke City (Home)

Brownlie Scores !

Paul Brownlie - John's son (Hibernian) - has scored his first goal for Arbroath since his father took over as manager. His 41st minute goal in the Scottish Second Division at home to Queen's Park, pulled the scores back to 1-1. Queen's Park went ahead again soon into the second half, but the game finished 2-2, with supporters still feeling it was 2 points lost. Currently Arbroath are a lowly 7th in their 10 team division.
