He was a player, a broadcaster, and a legend of the game. | :00:18. | :00:25. | |

During his career, he successfully argued for the abolition of the ?20 | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
Gary Lineker this afternoon described Jimmy Hill as a genuine | :00:37. | :00:44. | |
innovator, and a football man through and through. | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
Our sports correspondent Andy Swiss looks back at a remarkable life. | :00:47. | :01:00. | |
Good evening and welcome to match other day on the last Saturday... | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
The face of football, but so much more. Player, manager, broadcaster | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
and innovator, if you have influenced the modern game as much | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
as Jimmy Hill. Born in south London, he first made | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
his name on the pitch for Fulham in the 1950s off it, he would soon have | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
a greater impact, as head of the players union when he brought an end | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
the ?20 maximum wage cap and the first time footballers could cash | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
in. This is Jimmy Hill, Fulham's famous | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
bearded inside right, using new Remington. | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
As manager of Coventry in the 1960s, he brought promotion and also that | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
pioneering spirit. He introduced pre-match entertainment, trains to | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
take fans to away games. Having guided them to the top flight, he | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
suddenly quit for a new career in TV. | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
At ITV, he created the idea of having football pundits, before he | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
moved to the BBC and Match Of The Day. | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
Good evening and welcome to Match Of The Day. | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
During the 1970s, that famous chin and distinctive beard turned him | :02:15. | :02:24. | |
into football's biggest fixture but all the time he made a trailblazer. | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
He returned to country as chairman and led the battle against | :02:28. | :02:28. | |
hooliganism. He pushed for the introduction of | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
three points for a win, shirt sponsorship. So much of the current | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
game not least its bulky pairs is down to him. | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
He abolished the maximum wage. A lot of professional footballers since | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
then have a lot to thank him for, for that. He was always a great | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
innovator. Always looking to improve things. | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
He rarely shirt a challenge. He stepped in as an emergency linesman | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
at one game, took up horse riding for a TV programme, and a regular | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
target for satirists. He was more than happy to put fun at himself. | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
Losing games in football is not something they wanted to do. | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
Winning, yes, losing, you don't want to do that. | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
From his real-life colleagues, only affection. | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
He was by my side, a reassuring figure, correcting me quietly when I | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
went wrong. He had that kind of personality and humanity, and a | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
fantastic sense of humour. Most of all, he thought of things before | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
other people did. Indeed, he was a man ahead of his | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
time. While his forthright views they have divided opinion, his | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
impact on modern football is surely beyond dispute. | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
The footballer and broadcaster Jimmy Hill, who died today | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
There are fresh hopes that the end of the war in Syria could be a step | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
closer, after a United Nations peace plan received the unanimous backing | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
The plan calls for a nationwide ceasefire, and formal talks | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
about a new inclusive government, although there is no mention | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
Our chief international correspondent, Lyse Doucet, reports. | :04:09. | :04:18. | |
Nearly five years of fighting have left Syria in ruin. | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
Torn between a vast array of rebel forces battling | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
The so-called Islamic State has taken territory too and that's | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
The bitter battles over Syria's future also blocked the UN | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
Security Council for years, but now at last, the deadlock | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
The time is now to stop the killing in Syria, | :04:41. | :04:48. | |
lay the groundwork for a Government, that the long-suffering people | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
The new road map is hugely ambitious. | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
Along we efforts to reach a ceasefire. | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
The goal is a transitional, national unity Government within six | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
months and UN supervised elections a year later. | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
To achieve this, they had to put aside the biggest dispute, | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
Not only for moral reasons because of the destruction he has | :05:16. | :05:23. | |
unleashed upon his own people, but for practical reasons because it | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
will never be possible to bring peace and unity to Syria as long | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
But Russia's new military intervention in Syria | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
is strengthening President Assad's forces along key front lines | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
TRANSLATION: My counterparts say let's start a political process | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
that those who want to oust Assad are getting some hope | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
It is very sad that once again, our common task, that is, | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
putting an end to terrorism has become hostage to one personality. | :05:57. | :06:05. | |
This is no longer just Syria's war, but millions of Syrians of paying | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
Syria has been called the humanitarian test of our time, | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
now it is the greatest of political challenges. | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
Today is expected to be the busiest shopping day of the year. | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
Many retailers have started their sales early, | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
rather than wait until after Christmas, | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
and more than 12.5 million of us are thought to be | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
bargain-hunting on what analysts are calling Panic Saturday. | :06:38. | :06:38. | |
Our business correspondent, Joe Lynam, has been out | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
A few years ago, getting discounts of up to 50% before Christmas Day | :06:41. | :06:53. | |
was unheard of. Now, it is the norm. It is the last Saturday before | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
Christmas, and retail experts believe we will spend as much as ?6 | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
billion over the next Unseasonably warm weather and | :07:00. | :07:12. | |
disappointing sales on Black Friday have meant some retailers have a lot | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
of stock which they need to shift before the winter sales begin after | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
Christmas. Can I this? This has had the effect of bringing forward heady | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
discounting by some stores such as Debenhams, Argos and H | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
The winner? Consumers. Some of it has been spontaneous. | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
I have bought, do things for the Christmas table. | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
If you are panic buying, you are not likely to get a bargain because you | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
don't have time. I am literally buying from the first shot I walk | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
into. It is utter and complete misery. | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
But it is Christmas. We bought a laptop today with a good count -- | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
good discount. I will wake tomorrow. | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
Footfall, the number of people physically crossing thresholds, is | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
down slightly on last year according to some analysts, most due to the | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
ever increasing rise in online shopping. | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
The UK high street is much more competitive than it has ever been. | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
One reason is the shopper is much more experienced, knowledgeable, | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
they will go online to tell them what is what. So when they walk into | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
a shop, they are expecting a nice experience. If they don't get that, | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
they walk out. It was shirt sleeves weather in some | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
parts which will have coaxed extra shoppers to the high Street but to | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
make them spend shopkeepers have had to slash their prices. | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
The former Netherlands boss Guus Hiddink has been appointed | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
He replaces Jose Mourinho who was sacked on Thursday. | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
Our sports correspondent, David Ornstein, is at Stamford | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
We received the news shortly before kick-off here, when Chelsea played | :08:55. | :09:08. | |
Sunderland, they won 3-1, that Guus Hiddink would be the interim manager | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
until the end of the season. He is partly experienced, his 15th post in | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
management. He took a deep couple of chairs away from Roman Abramovich, | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
and released this statement saying he is especially looking forward to | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
renewing his relationship with the wonderful Chelsea supporters. Many | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
of those supporters inside Stamford Bridge by singing the name of Jose | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
Mourinho. Others felt it was the right decision to sack him. Jose | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
Mourinho released a statement this morning which said this. | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
This was through his management company, he will not take a | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
sabbatical, he is not tied, he is very positive and is already looking | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
forward. So we could be seeing him back in a job soon. But his old club | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
Chelsea will be led by Guus Hiddink. There's more about all those stories | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
throughout the evening on the BBC I'll be back with the late | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
news here at 10.10pm. Now, on BBC One, it's time | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
for the news where you are. | :10:08. | :10:09. |
