:00:05. > :00:08.Hello, welcome to Look North. Coming up in tonight's programme:
:00:08. > :00:11.Player, coach, manager, chairman. Niall Quinn's career with
:00:11. > :00:14.Sunderland ends after 12 amazing years.
:00:14. > :00:18.Searchers comb the countryside for an elderly woman with dementia,
:00:18. > :00:23.who's missing from home. Also tonight - The bull who's a cash cow.
:00:23. > :00:25.Fabio smashes the world record and looks forward to a pampered life.
:00:25. > :00:31.And a Redcar lifeboatman wins the RNLI's highest award after a
:00:31. > :00:35.dramatic rescue. And in sport - The Black Cats shoot down the Gunners
:00:35. > :00:45.to march on in the FA Cup. And The Great Escape starts here. A Falcons
:00:45. > :00:53.
:00:53. > :00:56.victory gives them hope in their After more than 12 years on
:00:56. > :01:00.Wearside as a player, coach, manager and chairman, Niall Quinn
:01:00. > :01:04.is leaving Sunderland Football Club. The 45-year-old Irishman stepped
:01:04. > :01:11.down from his role at the head of the club four months ago to take on
:01:11. > :01:13.a new post promoting the team overseas. Now he says he wants to
:01:13. > :01:16.return to Ireland, to spend more time with his family, and
:01:16. > :01:22.concentrate on business interests outside football. Mark Tulip is at
:01:22. > :01:25.the Stadium of Light. Is the move a surprise, Mark? Not really, Jeff,
:01:25. > :01:28.although there is a sense of disappointment and even sadness
:01:28. > :01:30.among fans here on Wearside. When Niall Quinn stood down from being
:01:30. > :01:34.chairman, back in October, you sensed he wouldn't be around for
:01:34. > :01:40.too much longer. When he took over in 2006 he said five years was the
:01:40. > :01:44.usual lifespan for someone in that role. But supporters here will
:01:44. > :01:47.never forget what he's done for this club on and off the pitch.
:01:47. > :01:49.They were the little and large double act that struck terror into
:01:49. > :01:51.Premier League defences. Kevin Phillips and his beanpole striker
:01:51. > :02:00.partner Niall Quinn helped guide Sunderland to successive seventh-
:02:00. > :02:03.place finishes in 2000 and 2001. But it was Quinn's contribution off
:02:03. > :02:06.the field on his return to Wearside that has laid even more solid
:02:06. > :02:08.foundations, and seemingly an end to the yo-yo existence of promotion
:02:08. > :02:11.and relegation. He headed a consortium of mainly Irish
:02:11. > :02:14.businessmen in 2006 dedicated to taking the club to the next level.
:02:14. > :02:17.Quinn the chairman briefly became Quinn the manager, before he took
:02:17. > :02:20.an Irish punt on Roy Keane who quided Sunderland to promotion. As
:02:20. > :02:30.chairman, Quinn was also pivotal in getting current owner and chairman
:02:30. > :02:30.
:02:30. > :03:17.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds
:03:17. > :03:21.American billionaire Ellis Short on Any took the national development
:03:21. > :03:26.role, that was in taking a step back. He is one of the few people
:03:26. > :03:33.in history who has played, manager, and been chairman of a club. That
:03:33. > :03:43.kind of says it all. He came back and saved us in our moment of need.
:03:43. > :03:46.
:03:46. > :03:49.And when he has left we are in a strong position. A tenth-place
:03:49. > :03:52.finish under Steve Bruce last season may well be repeated by
:03:52. > :03:54.Martin O'Neill whose appointment may yet prove to be Quinn's
:03:54. > :03:57.greatest legacy. Meanwhile the man dubbed "Mr Sunderland", and "St
:03:57. > :03:59.Niall" after his testimonial raised nearly �1 million for children's
:03:59. > :04:02.hospitals, can spend a bit more time indulging his other great
:04:02. > :04:05.sporting passion - horse-racing. Niall Quinn says he's leaving the
:04:05. > :04:08.club in good hands with Ellis Short, Mark. Just a shame they've lost
:04:08. > :04:14.someone who had such a tremendous rapport with the fans. It is a
:04:14. > :04:19.generalisation, but football club officials seem to be isolated from
:04:19. > :04:22.the fans. I remember filming Niall Quinn at a social club in
:04:22. > :04:27.Sunderland last year and you could see most people in the room had
:04:27. > :04:35.bought into his long-term vision for the club and Ellis short takes
:04:35. > :04:37.that Ford from now. -- for would Police in Northumberland say
:04:37. > :04:44.they're increasingly worried about an elderly woman who hasn't been
:04:44. > :04:46.seen for more than 24 hours. 84 year-old Monica Dixon has dementia.
:04:46. > :04:49.She was last seen yesterday afternoon, leaving the care home in
:04:49. > :04:55.Corbridge where she lives. Police have begun searching the nearby
:04:55. > :04:58.river, as Damian O'Neil reports. Monica Dixon left the Abbeyfield
:04:58. > :05:03.care home in Hexham at 1:30pm yesterday afternoon wearing only
:05:03. > :05:06.light brown trousers and a thin blue jumper. As far as the police
:05:06. > :05:09.know she spent the night outside with no other clothing, and with no
:05:09. > :05:15.sign of her, the search has now been widened to include the river
:05:15. > :05:17.near her home. Mrs Dixon is said to be very familiar with the local
:05:17. > :05:22.area but she does suffer from dementia and the police are
:05:22. > :05:26.increasingly worried. We do know she was due to meet a
:05:26. > :05:30.friend that 1:30pm, but she did not make the appointment and it was
:05:30. > :05:36.obviously a friend who has telephoned the police and we have
:05:36. > :05:39.jumped into action and got lots of police officers in that area. Today
:05:39. > :05:43.we are encouraging members of the public, if they do see Monica, to
:05:44. > :05:50.get in touch. Lots of police officers out today and places where
:05:50. > :05:54.we know Monica frequents, and we would urge anybody who sees Monica
:05:54. > :05:58.to get in touch with us. weather is forecast to get mild but
:05:58. > :06:03.it has been cold and wet since Mrs Dixon went missing and police say
:06:03. > :06:10.she is not found soon we can expect more police activity in the town
:06:10. > :06:12.It's been confirmed that the fell walker who died in the Lake
:06:12. > :06:16.District yesterday was Peter Huntley, the former managing
:06:16. > :06:18.director of the Go North East bus company. Rescue teams were called
:06:18. > :06:22.to the southern end of Haweswater yesterday afternoon, after Mr
:06:22. > :06:27.Huntley fell from a ledge near the summit of High Street. He was
:06:27. > :06:30.airlifted to hospital but pronounced dead on arrival. Mr
:06:30. > :06:33.Huntley, who moved to Lancashire in December, after six years with Go
:06:33. > :06:37.North East, was training for a charity fundraising trek when he
:06:37. > :06:40.slipped and fell. If you're fond of a nice cut of
:06:40. > :06:44.beef, you'll know that prices can be eye-wateringly expensive. And a
:06:44. > :06:47.bull has just sold in Carlisle for a world record price of �126,000.
:06:47. > :06:50.But he won't be ending up in a butcher's shop. The award-winning
:06:50. > :06:54.Limousin has been bought by breeders based at Clifton near
:06:54. > :07:03.Penrith. And his new owners have high expectations. As Alison
:07:03. > :07:08.You certainly wouldn't argue with him. But would you pay a world-
:07:08. > :07:16.record-breaking �126,000 to own this mountain of muscle? Well,
:07:16. > :07:20.Penrith farmers Messers Jenkinson did on Saturday. We did not set out
:07:20. > :07:25.to buy the world's most expensive ball. There was plenty of
:07:25. > :07:30.competition, and he was the overall champion on the day and was judged
:07:30. > :07:33.as that, so he is the best throughout the whole sale, and one
:07:34. > :07:41.of the best that has ever been in the rink, and we were delighted to
:07:41. > :07:44.get him. It's obviously disappointing not to come face to
:07:44. > :07:47.face with about a ton of prize- winning bull but Fabio is currently
:07:47. > :07:53.in isolation having his sperm collected so he can help to expand
:07:53. > :07:58.the herd with the help of some of these ladies. If he is a big fellow,
:07:58. > :08:02.and he needs to be. We have some big ladies came to look after. He
:08:02. > :08:05.needs to be a be glad to get the flesh on the progeny. Fabio's first
:08:05. > :08:10.additions to the farm's 150-strong pedigree herd are expected next
:08:10. > :08:15.summer. And his sought-after semen will be sold online before then to
:08:15. > :08:18.help recoup the cash from his price-tag. While the bull can
:08:18. > :08:28.expect a happy life at Whinsfell Farm, his former owner is also said
:08:28. > :08:29.
:08:29. > :08:36.to be pretty pleased. He'd expected to sell for around �40,000.
:08:36. > :08:42.When we got to 100,000 I was using the rostrum to hold himself up. And
:08:42. > :08:48.when we got to 120,000, he could hardly speak to worse. I think it
:08:48. > :08:51.was a great surprise for him. great surprise for you and for him.
:08:51. > :09:01.For every one, a marvellous feeling. It might be something I will never
:09:01. > :09:04.
:09:04. > :09:07.do again in my life and it was Enjoy it, Fabio. I'm sure you will.
:09:07. > :09:10.The campaign to buy Darlington Football Club is off to a
:09:10. > :09:13.successful start. In just five days, �187,000 has been raised by fans
:09:13. > :09:16.who want to buy into a new community-owned club. The aim is to
:09:16. > :09:21.raise a quarter of a million pounds and take Darlington out of
:09:21. > :09:24.administration. Shares are being sold online, and today saw the
:09:24. > :09:31.biggest investment so far - made by the town's own newspaper. Our
:09:31. > :09:34.Business Correspondent Ian Reeve reports. This is how Darlington
:09:34. > :09:41.fans are trying to save their club, buying shares in a new company
:09:41. > :09:49.online. And today the biggest purchase so far, �10,000, from the
:09:49. > :09:51.town's newspaper the Northern Echo. The paper's money will go some way
:09:51. > :09:54.to reaching the first stage, raising �250,000. The goal is
:09:54. > :10:02.�750,000 to get out of administration, pay off all the
:10:02. > :10:06.creditors and have money in reserve. It is a lot of money and a decision
:10:06. > :10:10.we have not taken lightly. These are difficult economic times, and
:10:10. > :10:15.we have to be careful, but we feel it is important we show our support
:10:15. > :10:20.and I am confident we will at least get to the target in phase one and
:10:20. > :10:24.see where we go from there. But it is �10,000 we feel we need to
:10:24. > :10:27.invest. In spite of the cash, the paper is still asking tough
:10:27. > :10:31.questions. Most notably, how can the new company make a go of
:10:31. > :10:36.something that's eluded past chairmen? There is still a degree
:10:36. > :10:41.of uncertainty about not just the short term of how the club will be
:10:41. > :10:47.saved, but how it will move forward in the longer term and have it will
:10:47. > :10:52.succeed where other chairmen have all failed in trying to make a
:10:52. > :10:55.viable Football Club within Darlington, in that stadium. I
:10:55. > :10:59.think there are questions to still be answered. But still the fans are
:10:59. > :11:09.stumping up. About �187,000 has been pledged by 385 investors so
:11:09. > :11:10.
:11:10. > :11:15.far, an impressive amount in just a few days. Not going quite so well
:11:15. > :11:18.is communication behind the company. The administrator does not return
:11:18. > :11:23.phone calls, and the two public faces of the rescue group had stood
:11:23. > :11:27.down. The appointment of a public relations agency is imminent, but
:11:27. > :11:37.for the fans, who need information, and who knows maybe one to pledge
:11:37. > :11:37.
:11:37. > :11:40.money, it can't come soon enough. - They're called "The Hidden Army."
:11:41. > :11:43.Its thought there could be about 700,000 young carers in the UK. No-
:11:43. > :11:46.one knows the exact numbers, because many are struggling, alone,
:11:46. > :11:53.without support. But one teenager from North Tyneside is pushing to
:11:53. > :12:00.have that changed. Chris Jackson 16-year-old student Imogen looks
:12:00. > :12:03.like any other teenager. But she's been keeping a huge secret.
:12:03. > :12:07.couldn't tell my friends because I didn't understand it. I didn't
:12:07. > :12:12.think they would understand. mum has bi-polar disorder, which
:12:13. > :12:15.means her moods swing from depression to mania. Imogen helps
:12:15. > :12:20.around the house but more importantly, supports her mum
:12:20. > :12:30.emotionally. I can't sleep if my mum's still awake. I just worry
:12:30. > :12:32.
:12:32. > :12:39.about her. In case she feels lonely. I don't like her being on her own.
:12:39. > :12:49.She has before gone and bought things on eBay at 3:00am. I worry
:12:49. > :12:55.
:12:55. > :12:59.about that happening but that's Imogen could not talk to anyone and
:12:59. > :13:05.was overlooked by the services are caring for her mother for six years.
:13:05. > :13:12.It was only when she found this young carers' centre in a Tyneside
:13:12. > :13:18.last year that she found her voice. I was ecstatic. I was so relieved
:13:18. > :13:24.to know there were other people. I am not the only one! I can be
:13:24. > :13:29.normal! To an extent, anyway. she is determined to use her voice
:13:29. > :13:34.to highlight the case of the forgotten young carers. What are
:13:34. > :13:40.you doing to make a change for young carers? Last week when we
:13:40. > :13:43.went to Number Ten a young came with us and spoke to a number of
:13:43. > :13:47.ministers and gave their lives to the Prime Minister about her
:13:47. > :13:53.experiences. We have also done work with schools and we would like to
:13:53. > :13:57.see every school having a member of staff responsible for young carers,
:13:57. > :14:01.to make sure that everyone in the school, students and teachers, know
:14:01. > :14:07.that young carers are important and need to be supported.
:14:08. > :14:12.An amazing young lady. You can hear that story on Inside Out tonight at
:14:12. > :14:17.7:30pm. Still to come tonight, Sunderland's
:14:17. > :14:21.winning streak continues. More in Team Talk. And we have been on a
:14:21. > :14:26.winning streak of our own at the World Society Television Awards.
:14:26. > :14:33.And there is a real change in the weather on the way. I am back with
:14:33. > :14:40.all the details after the end of the rest of the news.
:14:40. > :14:43.He and his crew had to overcome gale force wind and waves 15 ft
:14:43. > :14:49.high but a brave to those horrendous conditions to rescue a
:14:49. > :14:56.fisherman who had been swept into the water at his mouth last October.
:14:56. > :15:01.But now a red card RNLI it work has been awarded one of the highest
:15:01. > :15:05.awards. The last two years are the busiest
:15:05. > :15:09.in the 200 year history of the RNLI. Now the skill and bravery of one of
:15:09. > :15:13.its crew has been honoured. Mike Picknett barrelled -- battled
:15:13. > :15:18.through treacherous seas to rescue a fisherman who had been swept into
:15:18. > :15:25.the water. The police helicopter was on the scene, telling me when
:15:25. > :15:31.the casualty was. As we got closer, we could see him. He was close to a
:15:32. > :15:37.concrete structure. As I was moving towards the casualty, we had a
:15:37. > :15:44.couple of breaking waves coming through the lifeboat. The sea was,
:15:44. > :15:48.today but last October they were 15ft in the air. The crew trapped
:15:48. > :15:54.the vision man on board and gave him CBR. They then fitted an air
:15:54. > :16:01.way to help him breathe. A helicopter transferred him to
:16:01. > :16:05.hospital. It was one of 57 call- outs in the last 12 months. We are
:16:05. > :16:09.all a team on that boat. The man who drives it needs to look out for
:16:09. > :16:16.us and we need to look out for him and each other. Especially in
:16:16. > :16:23.weather conditions like that. Mike's award, the highest RNLI on
:16:23. > :16:31.a, was one of seven event to staff across the country.
:16:31. > :16:35.-- given shoes staff. Good news about us. The BBC here in the North
:16:35. > :16:38.East and Cumbria or won eight categories in the Royal Television
:16:38. > :16:42.Society Regional Awards. It is particularly pleasing for us at
:16:42. > :16:48.Look North because we are now officially the regional news
:16:48. > :16:52.television programme of the year. On Saturday a multiple award
:16:52. > :16:56.winning Sage Gateshead played host to the 25th Royal Television
:16:56. > :17:04.Society awards. With a host of well-known TV faces to present and
:17:05. > :17:09.received some of the top awards. Including Reeves and Mortimer, from

:17:17. > :17:22.first to receive best newcomer award for are Look North's Adele
:17:22. > :17:25.Robinson, who is away on leave. Then again, joined by a couple of
:17:25. > :17:30.other people you might recognise, to pick up the regional news
:17:30. > :17:40.programme of the Year award for Look North, featuring Tara Metro
:17:40. > :17:45.The Musical. Another top award for journeys of the year it went to
:17:45. > :17:47.Look North house reporter. Our colleagues on Inside Out won the
:17:47. > :17:51.best current affairs programme for the investigation into the Southern
:17:51. > :17:59.Cross care homes. Another documentary, Mr Rich And The
:17:59. > :18:07.Terriers, produced by and Maggie Latham, won an award. BBC camera
:18:07. > :18:12.men Steve Paton won an award for personal excellence. The editor of
:18:12. > :18:21.Metro The Musical won an award for production on the project. There
:18:21. > :18:25.was a special commendation for Keith Blackburn.
:18:25. > :18:29.It is time for Team Talk and we have already brought you the news
:18:29. > :18:38.of Niall Quinn leaving Sunderland for a quieter life, possibly back
:18:38. > :18:42.in Ireland. But we have to pay tribute to the man, Dawn? Yes, as a
:18:42. > :18:45.player, he became a bit of a legend, along with his strike partner Kevin
:18:45. > :18:49.Phillips, and I think it is fair to say he loved Sunderland, and that
:18:49. > :18:52.is why he came back as chairman. He was the sort of chairman football
:18:52. > :18:55.managers at other clubs dreamed of. He always had time for the fans,
:18:55. > :18:58.great with the media and a huge driving force in turning the club's
:18:58. > :19:02.fortunes around. He did a lot for Sunderland as a city, too, raising
:19:02. > :19:06.hundreds of thousands for local charities. But he liked a bit of
:19:06. > :19:09.fun as well, and had the real gift of the gab and a great sense of
:19:09. > :19:16.humour. Now he can spend more time with his family and probably at the
:19:16. > :19:20.racecourse as well. And the golf course! And possibly a
:19:20. > :19:23.pint of Guinness for two. Well, we understand Niall Quinn was abroad
:19:23. > :19:26.on club business at the weekend, so he missed Saturday's FA Cup win
:19:27. > :19:30.over his old club, Arsenal. Revenge for that 2-1 defeat to the Gunners
:19:30. > :19:39.the week before. And you know, if you are going to win the cup, you
:19:39. > :19:43.need a bit of luck along the way. Richards and's strike was superbly
:19:43. > :19:50.but it did get a slight deflection. They were under a bit of pressure
:19:50. > :19:55.but they break so well from the back and the ball eventually ended
:19:55. > :20:02.up in the net. You had to feel sorry for Alex because he's a
:20:02. > :20:07.bright spark in Arsenal's team at the moment. That was the one
:20:07. > :20:12.disappointment for the day. One player blamed Arsenal players
:20:12. > :20:20.wearing gloves. Nicklas Bendtner, what has he got on his head?
:20:20. > :20:25.He thinks he is a fashion guru. We think he pinched that hat from
:20:25. > :20:31.Bob Stoker. He was in fact in the foyer of the Stadium of Light. He
:20:31. > :20:38.might bring him luck from 1973. Two numbers left in yesterday's
:20:39. > :20:42.final draw. It was another old Sunderland manager, Peter Reid, who
:20:42. > :20:47.drew Everton out first, leading the Black Cats with a trip to Goodison
:20:47. > :20:52.in four weeks' time. The big news in non-League football
:20:52. > :20:57.is there will be no trip to Wembley this season for Whitley Bay. FA
:20:57. > :21:01.Vase was for the past three years, after 29 games unbeaten in the
:21:01. > :21:07.competition, they lost 2-1 to the Northern League leaders West
:21:07. > :21:11.Auckland, and they gave -- game overshadowed by this incident, West

:22:03. > :22:09.blown through Victoria Park since Neale Cooper arrived. Pools have

:23:09. > :23:13.Irish to narrow the gap at the bottom of the League to six points,
:23:13. > :23:16.giving fans hope that they might yet pull off a great escape. What a
:23:16. > :23:18.difference a new coaching team makes. Last month a confused and
:23:18. > :23:21.lacklustre Falcons were going nowhere but down. Now Gary Gold,
:23:21. > :23:24.Mike Ford and John Wells have organised and galvanised the squad
:23:24. > :23:27.and it was a confident and determined side which took to the
:23:27. > :23:30.Kingston Park pitch to take on the Exiles. Falcons' talismanic fly-
:23:30. > :23:33.half Jimmy Gopperth put the first points on the board but a period of
:23:33. > :23:35.sustained pressure from the Londoners eventually paid off when
:23:35. > :23:39.they crossed the line on the half hour. Undeterred Gopperth narrowed
:23:39. > :23:42.the gap with a drop goal to go into half-time just 10-6 down. The
:23:42. > :23:44.Falcons came out firing after the break, the fly-half nailing another
:23:44. > :23:47.penalty, but although Newcastle found themselves a man down after
:23:47. > :23:50.Adriaan Fondse got a straight red card, Irish could not capitalise
:23:50. > :23:53.and Ryan Shortland intercepted a pass from Delon Armitage to run

:24:02. > :24:05.game, which Gopperth converted, to the delight of the crowd. London
:24:05. > :24:15.Irish had no response and another Falcons penalty sealed a 19-10
:24:15. > :24:19.
:24:19. > :24:22.Good stuff. Fingers crossed. Just before we leave sport, how long
:24:22. > :24:32.since we saw red headline like this? "Shearer's Goal Sends United
:24:32. > :24:32.
