:01:12. > :01:16.week and they both feature my beloved team, the club I've always
:01:17. > :01:20.supported, none other than the mighty Liverpool. The women's team
:01:21. > :01:24.played Birmingham last Sunday. Birmingham from the blue equalised
:01:25. > :01:32.and would have thought they weren't in any trouble at the restart,
:01:33. > :01:38.right? Wrong! A great strike from Farah Williams but the, but the ref
:01:39. > :01:44.had to apologise, because he hadn't blown his whistle, a meaning the
:01:45. > :01:49.goal shouldn't have stood. Rickie Lambert and Adam Lallana and Jordan
:01:50. > :01:54.Henderson have been answering questions fans like to know. What
:01:55. > :01:59.would you say to any aspiring youngster who wants to make it in
:02:00. > :02:10.your sport? Give it everything. Try your best. Describe yourself in
:02:11. > :02:19.three words. Busy. Busy and busy. Who has the best wanter in the club?
:02:20. > :02:24.Enrique probably has the worst. Of course you're busy Jordan, you're a
:02:25. > :02:28.professional football earn! Moving on to the week's news. Moor about
:02:29. > :02:30.Liverpool. I promise I haven't done this on purpose. They beat

:02:50. > :02:53.Anfield, with both teams struggling for form this season and desperate
:02:54. > :02:58.for a win. There is another huge Derby clash tonight, this time in
:02:59. > :03:01.North London. Arsenal take on Spurs, plus it is first versus third, with
:03:02. > :03:14.Chelsea looking to maintain plus it is first versus third, with

:03:27. > :03:31.uncles and aunties keep up to date with the latest footie news? The
:03:32. > :03:40.answer was Ceefax. Pretty retro isn't it. That's how they used to do
:03:41. > :03:45.it and here's Jenny with some m This is final score, a good afternoon to
:03:46. > :03:51.you. You can watch us on your tablet or smartphone and every afternoon by
:03:52. > :03:55.heading to the BBC Sport website. Ceefax was the internet and mobile
:03:56. > :03:59.service of its time and was the only way to find out the latest football
:04:00. > :04:04.scores, even if you weren't at a game or listening to it on the
:04:05. > :04:09.radio. In its heyday, it would attract an audience of over 20
:04:10. > :04:17.million people every week. Wow! It was so popular that even footballers
:04:18. > :04:22.used to go on it. When legendary Dutch striker Dennis Bergkamp signed
:04:23. > :04:23.to Arsenal in 1985, he used Ceefax to see the
:04:24. > :04:29.to Arsenal in 1985, he used Ceefax being broadcast to the world. As
:04:30. > :04:34.television moved to a new and exciting digital age, one which you
:04:35. > :04:41.guys are a major part of, Ceefax made its final ever broadcast nearly
:04:42. > :04:46.two years ago. Ceefax might be gone, but it certainly isn't forgotten. It
:04:47. > :04:49.is time to welcome our guest today. He's played at
:04:50. > :05:04.is time to welcome our guest today. level for both club and country.
:05:05. > :05:13.Ashton! He has half a chance. Dean Ashton with a magnificent goal.
:05:14. > :05:18.Ashton's header and it's in! What a moment for Dean Ashton. So we are
:05:19. > :05:22.joined in the studio by Dean Ashton. Dean, welcome to Kickabout. It is so
:05:23. > :05:27.lovely to have you here. It is great to be here. My seven-year-old will
:05:28. > :05:31.be delighted. I bet he will be very proud to see dad on Kickabout I'm
:05:32. > :05:36.sure. I hope so. Do you remember Ceefax? Absolutely. That's how I
:05:37. > :05:41.found out the scores. It was great way to learn how to use the remote.
:05:42. > :05:46.Today my two sons are whipping around the internet and can find
:05:47. > :05:51.scores right away. So much easier these days. The Derbys today, the
:05:52. > :05:55.Merseyside and North London Derby. What is it like to play in a Derby?
:05:56. > :05:59.It is extra special. You really feel the expectation of the crowd, of
:06:00. > :06:04.your own fans. If you make a mistake, will you be remembered, but
:06:05. > :06:07.if you do something amazing in the game, if you score the winning goal
:06:08. > :06:11.you will be remembered forever. You want to do something that you get
:06:12. > :06:15.remembered forever. Let's talk about the Premier League. Chelsea are the
:06:16. > :06:23.ones to beat this season so far What do you make of them? They've made
:06:24. > :06:26.such a strong start. Jose Mourinho bringing in Fabregas and Diego
:06:27. > :06:31.Costa, fantastic signings to what was already a great squad. They are
:06:32. > :06:34.a great threat. Diego Costa is known as a target man's striker. Is there
:06:35. > :06:40.a place for them in the Premier League? I really hope so. Having
:06:41. > :06:44.been a target man striker myself, we thought that they were dying out,
:06:45. > :06:49.the big strikers, but Diego Costa has come back in. The way he holds
:06:50. > :06:55.the ball up and links the play and the goals that he scores, brings the
:06:56. > :07:00.tag back of the big striker that can hold the ball up. You were that
:07:01. > :07:05.striker that could hold the ball up. You scored in the Cup Final. How did
:07:06. > :07:10.that feel? It was a dream. You grew up as a young boy and all up wanted
:07:11. > :07:14.to do was play in a Cup Final. You look pretty chuffed there. And a bit
:07:15. > :07:17.of hair as well. The whole putting your suit on before the game,
:07:18. > :07:22.meeting Prince William. It felt very, very special. It was a shame
:07:23. > :07:27.that Steven Gerrard spoiled the day. Well, thank you very much. We'll be
:07:28. > :07:30.seeing you later in the stat cave. How are you feeling about that?
:07:31. > :07:35.Alright. Best of luck. Talking of the FA Cup, the competition is back
:07:36. > :07:38.on the BBC this season and here on Kickabout we'll be bringing you some
:07:39. > :07:43.special extra episodes later in the year. Plus we thought we would try
:07:44. > :07:48.to do something which has never been done before. We all like football
:07:49. > :07:53.mascots and we all like freestyle tricks, so what if we could somehow
:07:54. > :07:57.combine the two? Well, it is a Chancellor our very own John
:07:58. > :08:03.Farnworth just couldn't resist. Hi guys I'm so excited to be an FA Cup
:08:04. > :08:13.mascot. The design process is under way but today we are going behind if
:08:14. > :08:18.scenes to see what's going on. The first step in creating a mascot is
:08:19. > :08:26.the design and it is happening in this caravan. Let's go and have a
:08:27. > :08:35.look. You are a designer, you seem to be drawing on the screen. When I
:08:36. > :08:38.was at school I drew on paper. This a designer, you seem to be drawing
:08:39. > :08:41.on the screen. When I was at school I drew on paper. This is sip ma --
:08:42. > :08:47.cinema 3D, so we don't have to draw back and front views. It is fun to
:08:48. > :08:59.see how if I was a cartoon character this is what I would look like.
:09:00. > :09:03.Guys, I'm here with Rennie, who is going to project manage this whole.
:09:04. > :09:10.Huing doing? I'm good, how are you? Not too bad. Is this what we are
:09:11. > :09:13.going to base the suit on? This is a Ees, starting point for what your
:09:14. > :09:27.underbody is going to look like. This is based on a superhero body.
:09:28. > :09:33.Let's try this stuff on. It feels pretty good. I'm amazed. I feel like
:09:34. > :09:39.a proper superhero. My thighs, because I do a lot of tricks on my
:09:40. > :09:45.thinks, balance and kick it there, on my thinkings, balance and kick it
:09:46. > :09:53.there. My calves, can I still use my heels and my it's. I've done a bit
:09:54. > :10:01.in my suit. I want to see what the helmet is like. Doing basic stuff is
:10:02. > :10:07.OK. It would be when we started to do more flashy stuff. That's
:10:08. > :10:10.brilliant John. John. From watching you do your skills, going to get the
:10:11. > :10:22.majority of your vision through the mouse. Before I leave, I had best
:10:23. > :10:26.take this off, or I will look silly. I s off, or I will look silly. I
:10:27. > :10:31.think soft. -- I think so. That was brilliant. Over the next few months
:10:32. > :10:38.we'll be tracking John's progress in training. Training. Plus keep an eye
:10:39. > :10:42.out for our first episode in November when our finished mascot
:10:43. > :10:47.Farnworth will be unleashed to the world. Dean, it is time to take you
:10:48. > :10:54.into the stat cave. How you feeling? Pressure from my son to get two out
:10:55. > :10:59.of three at least. The stat cave. Deeper, welcome to the stat cave.
:11:00. > :11:03.Here are the rules. Very simple. I'm going to ask you three questions.
:11:04. > :11:07.Each of the answers either higher or lower, and if you get all three
:11:08. > :11:15.correct here is your prize, the golden key. Wow! Question one, you
:11:16. > :11:20.may have seen that former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez scored after
:11:21. > :11:29.just 13 minutes after his Barcelona B debut this week, and you may have
:11:30. > :11:33.seen the win in the cup. It was shoot-out in minutes higher or lower
:11:34. > :11:38.than 13? That's a difficult one. I did watch the penalty shoot-out as
:11:39. > :11:45.well. I'm going to go longer. Higher. Your answer is higher? It
:11:46. > :11:50.was higher. OK. 17 minutes and 7 seconds it took. Did you get that at
:11:51. > :11:55.home? I hope you're playing along. I got one right. That's a brilliant
:11:56. > :11:59.start. Question 2. Dean, during your playing career you found the back of
:12:00. > :12:09.the net an impressive 111 times. Wow! You look shock there had. Here
:12:10. > :12:13.is Carlos Tevez. Can you tell me if the number of goals he scored for
:12:14. > :12:19.West Ham, Manchester United and Manchester City combined is higher
:12:20. > :12:25.or lower than 111? Probably going to bet myself, so I'm going to go
:12:26. > :12:29.lower. OK. Your final answer? Yes. You were right to back yourself,
:12:30. > :12:35.because it was lower, with 85. The final question. Dean, you made your
:12:36. > :12:40.Crewe debut aged just 16. On the wall of the cave is Chelsea striker
:12:41. > :12:46.Didier Drogba, but when he played his first professional game, was his
:12:47. > :12:50.age higher or lower than 16? His first professional game? A bit of a
:12:51. > :12:55.tough one. I don't know where it would have been either. I'm going
:12:56. > :13:01.higher. Dean, you are a winner! He was 21 years old. Brilliant! That is
:13:02. > :13:06.quite old isn't it? That is. Compared to 16, I was only a little
:13:07. > :13:09.quite old isn't it? That is. child back then it felt like. You
:13:10. > :13:12.are now the proud owner of the golden key. How do you feel? It
:13:13. > :13:17.feels great. To be able golden key. How do you feel? It
:13:18. > :13:23.son I got all three, I will be able to see if he got all three at home.
:13:24. > :13:28.High five me. It's been a pleasure having you on Kickabout. It's been a
:13:29. > :13:35.pleasure and let's hope I beat my son at home when he sees questions.
:13:36. > :13:38.The stat cave. Cave. So, time for this week's Sav's big mouth
:13:39. > :13:53.of the first teams to play with challenger. Over
:13:54. > :14:19.of the first teams to play with numbered shirts.
:14:20. > :14:26.S I got three. I'm happy about that. Karim, that's three for you. A great
:14:27. > :14:32.effort but not enough to challenge for the top I'm afraid. That's all
:14:33. > :14:36.we have time for today. In a few hours the Merseyside Derby will be
:14:37. > :14:38.kicking off at Anfield. It is a match both teams really need to win,
:14:39. > :14:43.so there's bound to match both teams really need to win,
:14:44. > :14:48.like this. Goodbye. There is no magic formula. It is just time,
:14:49. > :14:53.patience with players. My experience tells me they will get better. We
:14:54. > :15:07.are really excited and looking forward to travelling to an field.
:15:08. > :15:10.COMMENTATOR: It is Steven Gerrard! Everton three, Liverpool two.
