That is all from the BBC News At Six, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight with Annabel Tiffin and | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
Graham Liver. Our top story: Farewell, Sir Tom ` the football | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
world remembers Preston's proudest son. | :00:14. | :00:23. | |
What a class as a player and as a person. The knife was man I have | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
ever met in my life. We'll be live at Deepdale. Also | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
tonight: Crime in the countryside ` but are farmers getting the support | :00:32. | :00:38. | |
they need? I will be reporting from the | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
University of Manchester, where researchers think they have come up | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
with something which could be important for early stage of | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
cervical cancer. The agony of defeat by the closest of margins for our | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
athletes. Strange goings`on in one of the country's oldest pubs. Have | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
they captured a ghost on film? The world of football has joined | :01:00. | :01:17. | |
Preston in remembering Sir Tom Finney who's died at the age of 91. | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
One of England's greatest ever players, the people of Preston took | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
him to their hearts. Over the weekend, football fans across the | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
country paid their respects in a minute's silence. And today in | :01:28. | :01:35. | |
Preston itself, books of condolence have been opened. Stuart Flinders is | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
at Deepdale. This is the famous statue of Sir Tom Finney here at | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
Deepdale. It has gradually been submerged under those flowers and | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
scarves and share is. Not from Prestonpans. There is one here from | :01:54. | :02:11. | |
a black band fan. `` Blackburn fan. They have lots of nice messages on | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
them. The players were here a short time ago. The current captain told | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
me what a strong presence this man still has 50 years after he retired. | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
We will reflect on Tom Finney the footballer later. I have been | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
looking back on why Preston took him to his heart. There were a few | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
thousand extra supporters at Deepdale on Saturday. Even in death, | :02:37. | :02:46. | |
Tom Finney can draw a crowd. Today, a chance for the whole city to say | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
goodbye. A book of condolence was opened at the town Hall. It was his | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
last match, and all around me were grown men crying. I never realised | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
the significance of it up until probably now. He was a real | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
Olympian, wasn't he? In the true Olympic spirit, where you played the | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
game, play fairly and do it in the right manner. He was just | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
down`to`earth, wasn't he? Nowhere words and graces. He is a true | :03:20. | :03:27. | |
legend. You will never be forgot. Tom Finney came from another era. | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
Well that alien to today's football stars as the black`and`white reel | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
that recorded his death on the pitch. He was a sportsman. He fought | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
for his country in the Second World War. I suppose at the time it was a | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
great thrill. It was a great thrill driving them. Throughout his career, | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
he kept up his plumbing business. The most football ever paid him was | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
25 a week. These men there at that soccer is a dead end. What made the | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
people of Preston taking to their hearts? He has continued to be the | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
most famous face in Preston. He belonged to a select group of | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
sportsman. He was synonymous with Preston. He was chair of the local | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
health authority for a while, and the magistrate. He threw himself | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
into helping veggie every charity in the city. `` he threw itself into | :04:32. | :04:41. | |
helping virtually every charity in the city. He did not make much on | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
the field but raise plenty for charity off it. You do not have to | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
be a sports fan to regret his passing. Maybe he reminds us of | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
something we have lost. Tributes from all over the world to | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
said Tom in the last few days. `` Sir Tom Finney. Me finish with this | :05:03. | :05:11. | |
tribute. I once told Tom about manufacturing Preston, it was lovely | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
but the rain kept coming in, I came home one night and my wife told me | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
he had been on my roof and repaired the problem. More on Tom Finney | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
later. Lovely anecdote. Researchers in | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
Manchester believe they may have discovered a way of preventing | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
cervical cancer. They say the drug normally used to treat HIV could be | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
used to kill off a virus which causes the cancer. They've conducted | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
trials in Africa which they say have produced promising results. They | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
also say complicated regulations here have prevented them from | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
carrying out similar trials in the UK. Here's Dave Guest. | :05:54. | :06:02. | |
Husband and wife team Ian and Lynne Hampson haven't created a new drug. | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
They've discovered a new way of using an existing one. They believe | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
this drug Lopinavir ` used to treat HIV patients ` could also | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
potentially kill off a virus known as HPV, a recognised cause of | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
cervical cancer. Rather than being taken orally, the drug is applied | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
directly to the cervix. We have too stressed that studies are very | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
early. We only have a small mumble of women. But they are far better | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
than expected. They've been conducting trials in | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
Kenya where tests on 40 women who were HPV positive showed impressive | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
results. The condition was cleared completely in more than 80 per cent | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
of the women. There are two reasons why they carried out these tests in | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
Kenyan and not the UK. Women in developing countries in Africa are | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
particularly prone to this type of infection. The other reason is | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
because they could not carry out the tests in the UK. It is not possible | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
to take medication intended for one years and use it for something else | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
without going through a very long and complicated process. Try to get | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
this off the ground for two years and got nowhere. It was one brick | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
while after another. Authorities were together cannot just experiment | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
with peoples lives. Of course. That is not what we are saying. Of course | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
I need to be controlled. The Manchester team say that perhaps the | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
controls me to be reviewed to enable more innovative approaches to | :07:28. | :07:37. | |
tackling diseases. Police are examining the last | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
movements of a 15`year`old boy who was found dead in Oldham over the | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
weekend. Leon Cudworth's body was found in an alleyway off Ripponden | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
Road on Saturday. His death is being treated as unexplained after a | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
postmortem examination was inconclusive. Police say there are | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
no suspicious circumstances. A 19`year`old man from Salford has | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
been arrested on suspicion of supplying a drug after three people | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
were taken to hospital in Liverpool after taking a so`called "legal | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
high." Two men and a 16`year`old girl were found collapsed yesterday. | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
It's believed they'd taken a substance known as G` EEBS, which is | :08:07. | :08:15. | |
normally used to clean car wheels. The actor and writer Steve Coogan ` | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
originally from Middleton ` won Best Adapted Screenplay for Philomena at | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
last night's BAFTAs. He co`wrote the film, which he also stars in. | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
Meanwhile, Checkers, an eagle owl from Turbary Woods Owl and Bird of | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
Prey Sanctuary in Preston has made an appearance in the Oscar`nominated | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
film Her. The Hollywood production team's made a contribution to the | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
sanctuary to use footage. He would not want to argue with her. Charlie | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
Wright used to get on with his neighbours in Birkenhead. Now he | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
never sees them. In an area where there were once 600 homes, now there | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
is just one ` Charlie's. All the other houses have been pulled down | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
on the River Streets estate. Charlie's been there all his life ` | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
and doesn't want to leave now. Diane Oxberry reports. I have lived here | :09:00. | :09:07. | |
62 years. I was born in this house. I am the last one. I am staying | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
here. Once, C Wright had hundreds of neighbours. Now, he owned the last | :09:14. | :09:22. | |
house standing. The flour mills went. The Cold War went. All gone. | :09:23. | :09:33. | |
Charlie bought his house in the early 80s. The council once offered | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
to buy it, but he would not sell. The plan was to make room for new | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
factories. The jobs and investment did not materialise. Without them, | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
his house could never be subject to compulsory purchase. Unbelievable. | :09:47. | :09:56. | |
There is a plan to transform this area. It is the largest regeneration | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
project. If it takes off, area. It is the largest regeneration | :09:59. | :10:21. | |
is my castle. And you can see Charlie's story on | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
Inside Out North West on BBC One at half past seven tonight. Still to | :10:27. | :10:41. | |
come: The agony of defeat for our stars in the Winter Olympics by the | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
closest of margins. It was a shame to miss out on the final but that | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
small an amount, but I rode as hard as I could and as fast as I could. | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
This is one of Britain's's oldest pubs, but is it haunted? | :11:02. | :11:08. | |
Richard's here with the sport now. And Richard, we've already seen some | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
moving tributes to Sir Tom Finney as a fantastic footballer and as a | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
person as well? Yes, I was at the match on Saturday | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
and it was very moving for everyone who was there. Lots of people like | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
me will have met Sir Tom and without exception will have found him to be | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
a wonderfully warm and down to earth man. But we shouldn't forget as well | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
what a truly exceptional footballer he was. The sort of player that even | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
some of the country's greatest describe as a talent out on his own. | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
In many pies, he is England's as ever player. Sir Stanley Matthews | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
compared him to palate and Maradona. Bill Shankly said he was beyond | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
compare. If I had the choice of a player in the whole world, with my | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
life at stake, I would pick Tom Finney. Tommy Doherty still | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
describes Tom Finney is simply the greatest. All the greats, he is one | :12:08. | :12:24. | |
of them, better than those. Sir Tom Finney was revered by team`mate and | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
feared by opponents at home and abroad. This action in 1958 at the | :12:29. | :12:38. | |
World Cup summed up his talent. He struck at home with his weaker right | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
foot. I decided to take with my right. Sir Tom Finney played 47 | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
matches for his home team, scoring 210 goals. He won 76 England caps. | :12:52. | :13:00. | |
He was twice named footballer of the year. There was never any doubt | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
which team he was going to play for. His roots with his hometown | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
club ran so deep. He used to walk to the match alongside fans even when | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
he was well`known. As a youngster he would go and watch the match and | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
sometimes would nip under the turnstiles and get him for free | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
Little did he know then he would go on to become one of the world's | :13:22. | :13:33. | |
greatest players. Tommy, have you still got the same enthusiasm for | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
the game? Yes, I think I have. We always stacked full of hope at the | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
beginning of any season. Sir Bobby Charlton still talks about the war | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
he felt lining up alongside him `` awe. I never understood what he did, | :13:53. | :14:00. | |
because he did it before I even thought about it. What a class. What | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
a class as a player, what a class as a person. He is the nicest man I | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
ever met in my entire life. That sums it up. We can talk to another | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
man who knew him extremely well Jimmy Anderson. We have read all | :14:17. | :14:24. | |
sorts of tributes about what he was as a player. You have a unique | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
position, you played against in What made him so good? He had the | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
lot. He can play across the front line, and it was his versatility as | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
much as anything else. He could play centre forward because he was | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
strong. He could play on the flanks. He had the whole package. I think I | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
tried to describe him as a footballer's footballer. Anybody who | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
wanted to be at the top of the tree, they need that versatility he has. | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
It is difficult for young people who did not see him play. It is | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
difficult for them to understand how good he was. How does he compared to | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
today's footballers? Said Bobby Charlton said he would probably be | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
the best paid player in England What do you think? Oh, yes. I would | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
think so, without a doubt. She think of the money that went for Gareth | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
Bale, I think Tom would have pulled more in than that. It was the way he | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
played as well. There was something about Tom Finney, his demeanour the | :15:37. | :15:45. | |
way he carried himself, the way he endeared himself to the public and | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
to other footballers. They all looked up to Tom Finney. It was a | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
special person as well as a special footballer. People tend to forget he | :15:53. | :16:00. | |
was good in the air, strong in a tackle, and it sounds as though I | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
may be exaggerating, but it was a really top line footballer. He could | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
have played in most positions, I think. He did play in several, | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
didn't he? Briefly, you talk about him as a person. He was a great man. | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
How would you sum him up? I will always remember him, from a simple | :16:22. | :16:28. | |
thing. He picked me up once when I had been playing in Wales, who had | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
retired, and I got injured that there. It had been me playing | :16:35. | :16:43. | |
against him, the best of enemies in many respects, but he came in and | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
said, I believe you have got injured, how you getting home? I was | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
going to go to the station and get on the train. He said, no, I will | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
drive you home. He went past Preston to Blackpool, we talked all away and | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
you might say we have been friends ever since. I always remember that. | :17:04. | :17:11. | |
Really great man. I miss him. Thank you. Some lovely stories there. | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
Thank you for your time. FA Cup holders Wigan have been drawn away | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
to Manchester City for a quarterfinal tie which is a repeat | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
of last season's Wembley final. The Latics won 2`1 at Cardiff thanks to | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
this pile driver from Ben Watson on the back of Chris McCann's goal | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
Manchester City exacted revenge on Chelsea with a 2`0 win. City out | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
passed the Londoners for Jovetic to score. Nasri got the second. Everton | :17:38. | :17:46. | |
comfortably overcame Swansea 3` . Dubutant Lacina Traore scored the | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
first with cheeky back heel. Toffees face Arsenal who beat Liverpool 2`1. | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
Steven Gerrard scored this penalty after Luiz SuarPez was brought down | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
but the Reds were unlucky not to get second penalty after this tackle on | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
the striker. For Rossendale's Kristan Bromley it was less than a | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
second, for Isle of Man snowboarder Zoe Gillings it was a couple of | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
centimetres. That's how close both came to a medal at the Winter | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
Olympics in Russia. In the end Zoe finished ninth, Kristan eighth. | :18:14. | :18:15. | |
Stuart Pollitt reports. Unpredictable, exhilarating and | :18:16. | :18:27. | |
decided by the finest of margins. For Zoe Gillings and Kristan | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
Bromley, it was a case of so near but yet so far in their quest for | :18:31. | :18:37. | |
Olympic medals. Zoe had put herself within touching distance of the | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
Olympic final. This was the reaction back at home | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
as they waited for the photo finish. A photo which showed Zoe missing out | :18:48. | :18:55. | |
by inches. I thought I'd got through one point, because one of the | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
official guy said I had, but I hadn't. It was a shame to miss by | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
that small amount. I rode as fast and hard as I could. She did so | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
well. She said she would do her best. I am sure she did. | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
Zoe says she'll be back in four years' time, but for Kristan Bromley | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
this is likely to be his final slide. At 41, the oldest member of | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
Team GB finished less than a second off bronze. So is this the end? It | :19:20. | :19:49. | |
has inspired me to do something like skiing. | :19:50. | :19:50. | |
Elsewhere, Lamin Deen, who grew up in Moss Side, finished 23rd in the | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
two man bobsleigh. Alsager skier Rowan Cheshire has been discharged | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
from hospital after a serious crash in training. No decision has yet | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
been made whether she'll be fit to race for a medal on Thursday. As you | :20:04. | :20:17. | |
all Within the last hour Tranmere manager Ronnie Moore has been | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
suspended by the club until the conclusion of an FA investigation | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
into an alleged breach of betting rules. Assistant John McMahon has | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
been placed in temporary charge of the first team Next tonight it is | :20:27. | :20:28. | |
one Britain's and is a in a police downtown was knows about | :20:29. | :20:54. | |
the impact of rural crime. He has had 58 pedigree use stolen | :20:55. | :21:02. | |
from him. `` Dan Towers knows about the impact of rural crime. It is | :21:03. | :21:13. | |
disastrous for the business. Someone has been taken it overnight. Rural | :21:14. | :21:25. | |
crime is serious and organised. Insurers say in 2012, it cost the UK | :21:26. | :21:37. | |
more than ?42 million. Farmer Gary Davis has lost ?8,000 of equipment | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
are thieves. He feels police give rural crime little priority in | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
largely urban areas like Greater Manchester. We had very little | :21:45. | :21:52. | |
support. You just felt that you were on your own, fighting a battle on | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
your own. You just want to feel they are there to help you. Senior | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
Greater Manchester police officers met farmers to work out how best to | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
tackle the issue. They are considering farm watch schemes and | :22:11. | :22:12. | |
improving links between the rural community and crime`fighters. People | :22:13. | :22:20. | |
who are high`volume criminals, we want to see them brought to book | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
just like anybody else. We want to put an end to it. By working | :22:28. | :22:35. | |
together, the hope is farmers will be to concentrate on farming rather | :22:36. | :22:54. | |
than left. Next night: Next tonight it is one Britain's oldest pub but | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
is also one of the most haunted The Man and Scythe in Bolton has had its | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
fair share of reported paranormal activity but now staff there say | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
they have managed to capture a ghost on camera. The Old Man and Scythe in | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
Bolton has a reputation. It was watering hole of seventh earl of | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
derby James Stanley before he was taken outside and executed in 1 51 ` | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
that's also made it a focus of reported paranormal activity ` and | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
now this. CCTV footage appears to show a shadowy figure appearing bu | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
the bar ` it was only discovered when the manger here noticed a | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
smashed glass on the floor and checked the cameras. I have never | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
been one to believe in anything of the spiritual or supernatural time. | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
The hairs on the back of my head are going up now. Psychics visited the | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
pub a few years back and said it was haunted by at least 25 spirits. The | :23:43. | :23:51. | |
chair the seventh Earl sat on his still here in the pub today. The | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
question is, is he still here as well? Have you seen any ghostly | :23:56. | :24:02. | |
happenings here? No, I haven't. I would love to. What do I think of | :24:03. | :24:10. | |
it? Not very much. You don't believe in it? No. There is a very strange | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
feeling about the place. Very strange. But is it, really. Is that | :24:16. | :24:23. | |
before a few drinks after. No, before, seriously. They'll be | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
discussing this over a pint tonight, but I'll let you decide for | :24:27. | :24:38. | |
yourself. Not sure. Not sure. Whether now | :24:39. | :24:46. | |
I know what that means. Some people are a little creepy. | :24:47. | :24:54. | |
Thank you. I was looking at you. Weather`wise, | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
the good news is, it is much quieter than the weather we had last week. | :25:01. | :25:07. | |

gradually start to get a bit heavier and heavier. It's been a picture | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
through the day. There have been gaps in the rain for money places to | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
have a dry day. Look at this latest picture and you may well see some | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
showers continue. Most places are cloudy. It will tie away towards the | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
early hours of the morning and start to become drier. Into tomorrow, the | :25:32. | :25:47. | |
cloud cover will an isolated showers. Tomorrow might be one step | :25:48. | :25:55. | |
better than today. The winds are nice and light. The cloud will break | :25:56. | :26:02. | |
now and then. You might see a glimpse of sunshine. 20 minutes of | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
sunshine makes a massive difference at this time of year. | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
