On the programme tonight. Tributes pour in for Gary Speed. | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
Fans and former team makes pay their respects to the ex Leeds and | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
Sheffield United player found dead in his home yesterday. | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
He was expect -- respected by every football player. That tells us | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
something about the bloke. Also tonight, a big boost to the | :00:37. | :00:45. | |
region's economy. A big boost to Trans Pennine chains promises a big | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
boost. And we go behind the scenes of a | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
new drama about a Yorkshire supermarket syndicate that wins the | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
lottery. It has been fairly cloudy today. We | :00:57. | :01:07. | |
:01:07. | :01:15. | ||
are settled -- set for a unsettled The family of Gary Speed says they | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
are overwhelmed by messages of support and condolence they have | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
received. The former player and Sheffield United manager was found | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
dead at his home yesterday morning. He was just 42 years old. | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
An inquest into the cause of his death took will open tomorrow. | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
Today at stadiums around the country, France had been playing | :01:35. | :01:45. | |

tribute. In a moment, up report live from his last club. -- fans. | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
As you can see here, the tributes are continuing to pour in. There is | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
a palpable sense of shock. If you look at these tributes there is a | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
common theme. They talk about a legend. Some of the fancier are | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
talking about it a man who always had time up for up them. -- fans. | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
He went on to play for Everton and Newcastle, but it was at Leeds | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
United that Gary Speed made his name. | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
24 hours on and there is still a sense of bewilderment. He was one | :02:24. | :02:32. | |
of the most respected and well- liked men in the game. He is a | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
football at that nobody has a bad word to say about. That is pretty | :02:37. | :02:45. | |
remarkable. We would like to pay tribute to his life in general. | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
is a shock. I have just come down to pay my respects. I have left a | :02:50. | :03:00. | |
:03:00. | :03:01. | ||
shirt down there. He was a legend. It was at Leeds that he started his | :03:01. | :03:10. | |
career as part of the midfielder strikers. They won the championship | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
in 1992. I trained beside him for six years and I was proud of Gary | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
Speed. Every time I saw him, I was proud of him. He was like a father | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
figure. I kept saying to people, he was not the most talented when I | :03:26. | :03:35. | |
first met him but he trained. think it would help. On Saturday | :03:35. | :03:42. | |
afternoon, he appeared on Football Focus. There were no signs that he | :03:42. | :03:50. | |
was troubled. The manner of his death has rocked everyone. I was | :03:50. | :03:58. | |
shocked and numb. It was something I never expected. 24 hours on, it | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
has still not sunk in. He keeps seeing things on telly which remind | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
you. Think, this cannot happen to someone so young. You cannot | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
comprehend it. He made 312 appearances for Leeds. The club | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
says there will be one-minute silence ahead of their game on | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
Saturday. It may have been here that Gary Speed started his playing | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
career, but it was down at Sheffield United that he finished | :04:28. | :04:38. | |
:04:38. | :04:44. | ||
Like you say, Gary Speed's history here has been much more recent. | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
Just this time last year he was still manager. This place has | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
become a shrine to him today. People are still turning up to pay | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
their respects. Today it has not just been Sheffield United fans. | :04:59. | :05:09. | |
:05:09. | :05:10. | ||
Other fans have been you to pay their respects. -- been here. | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
Gary Speed spent three years at Sheffield United as a player, coach | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
and finally manager. That has plenty of time to get to know him. | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
I feel so sad about what has happened. I cannot get my head | :05:24. | :05:33. | |
round it. I have come to pay my respects to a great man. He is an | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
inspiration. I cried all day yesterday and I am not a -- not | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
ashamed to admit that. It does not make any sense and it is | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
heartbreaking. Gary Speed joined Sheffield United at the beginning | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
of 2008 and after retiring became a coach. He was a top-class player | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
and he wanted to learn from the bottom up when he became a coach. | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
He was like that in his football even though he was 38 and still | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
playing, he prepared as though it was the first game of his career. | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
Starting last season, he had a brief spell of manager himself | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
before leaving to become the proud manager of his nation Wales. I only | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
spoke to him last week. The worst part about it is that actually, for | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
a hen to feel how he felt before what he done. To be in that sort of | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
state of mind. That is the most upsetting bit. Trying to work that | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
out. Gary Speed marched on together with Leeds United fans and lit up | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
the senses. He started and ended his playing career in Yorkshire, | :06:50. | :06:59. | |
and here he is too short life will be long remembered. | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
Two clubs with very fond memories of Gary Speed. Let us introduce you | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
now to a lifelong friend and agent. I know you have come to the studio | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
tonight having spent the day with Gary's wife and his two sons and | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
also his mum and dad, because they have genuinely been overwhelmed at | :07:19. | :07:28. | |
the support here in the Yorkshire. Yes., particularly his father. He | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
felt that something should be said by way of thanks to the Leeds fans | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
and of course to the Sheffield United fans. They have genuinely | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
been overwhelmed and I can honestly say it is making a small difference. | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
They are reading the tributes. Most of them get through to them in one | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
format or another. They have asked me to come here and expressed deep | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
fact -- deep thanks. I pulled the car over yesterday. I cannot | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
imagine how it must be for someone like you. I could not believe what | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
I was hearing. That sense of disbelief has continue today. Grown | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
men playing their scarves for the beloved football clubs and | :08:15. | :08:22. | |
remembering a good guy. That is the main thing. At the moment, our | :08:22. | :08:29. | |
industry is played with difficulties in one way or another, | :08:29. | :08:36. | |
it is a cliche but Gary was a true role model. -- played. Looking at | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
the tributes, any farther with young children wanting to play | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
football, they should look at Gary's career as opposed to some of | :08:44. | :08:52. | |
the more questionable icons of today. The one thing those tributes, | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
those fans will have in common, is that they will have an autograph | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
because Gary loved his fans. Some of my bond is memories are watching | :09:03. | :09:10. | |
Leeds in Europe when he insisted on being with the fans as opposed to | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
enjoying hospitality. Although Gary loved playing football, one of his | :09:15. | :09:22. | |
regrets was not to be able to stand on the terraces watching football. | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
This is a tragedy. We cannot even begin to ask the sort of questions | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
that will be asked in the future. I know you spoke to someone tonight | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
to is a good friend and wanted to send his tribute. Yes. David Batty | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
is distraught. Most people know that he is a quiet chap and does | :09:42. | :09:49. | |
not take much publicity. But he has made a point of suggesting that if | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
I were to come on television, as a result of Roger's request, he would | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
like the fans to know that his thoughts are with them as much as | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
with Gary Speed's family. Can you please send our thoughts to the | :10:05. | :10:12. | |
family? It is good that David Batty has had a chance to make a tribute. | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
We were hear some tributes now. There have literally been thousands | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
of them pouring in. Many of them from footballing names that are | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
famous the world over. Former Wales team-mate Ryan Giggs | :10:25. | :10:35. | |
:10:35. | :10:35. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 46 seconds | :10:35. | :11:22. | |
But as we have heard from his friend, the most important thing to | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
the family are the attributes that are you his fans had been paying. | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
Coming up later in this programme, at the biggest strike in a | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
generation. More than 900 schools set to close | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
in our region. We assess the impact of Wednesday's | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
walkout by teachers. The Government has announced plans | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
to overhaul the main cross Pennine realigned and it could create | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
30,000 jobs and pump �4 billion into the region's economy. | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
Yorkshire's business leaders have today welcomed the announcement | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
that the line between York, Leeds and Manchester is set to be | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
electrified. Here is our correspondent. | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
It has come out of the blue. Passengers on the main Trans | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
Pennine mind already write in a fleet of new diesel carriages. The | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
Government says it now was to make the switch to electric power. It | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
will mean faster journeys for thousands of commuters. Passengers | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
in York were giving up the idea thumbs-up. Be a travelling today | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
for a day out so that would have helped us in a big way. You can get | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
to work a bit quicker and hopefully have more of trains. At the moment, | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
you deal with a lot of delays and if it means getting somewhere | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
quicker it would be a lot better. Network Rail has had plans for the | :12:46. | :12:53. | |
-- for years to upgrade the entire line. This scheme will trip -- cut | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
the trip from Leeds to Manchester bite 40 minutes. Much faster than | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
driving. The trains will be longer and there will be a better chance | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
of getting a seat. The plan will help kick-start the region's | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
economy, creating jobs and spending power. You bring firms closer to | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
market, closer to each other, and give them a bigger labour pool. It | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
is that kind of cluttering which actually grows cities. This is no | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
quick fix for the region. It is good news. It is part of a brother | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
up -- broader package but we need the rest of their package as well | :13:32. | :13:39. | |
to bring short-term, mid- term and long term benefits. Work on the | :13:39. | :13:45. | |
project could begin as soon as next year, but it is looking likely that | :13:45. | :13:51. | |
today's trains will be replaced by a second-hand trains. They will | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
come from London commuting trains. This product is not about making | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
life easier for up rail commuters. It is due to a last-ditch | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
Government attempt to prevent the economy sliding into a downturn. A | :14:07. | :14:16. | |
lead to find this line is part of a Evan Davis is the economics editor | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
with the BBC and also the host of Dragon's Den, which helps small | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
businesses. This is infrastructure project going to make any | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
difference to businesses, getting their Cregagh but also benefiting | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
from the fall-out from the investment? -- getting there | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
quicker. These things work in two ways. Firstly, in the short term, | :14:39. | :14:46. | |
up grading, but employs people and kick-starts the economy. In the | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
long term you get the supply side effect. Even when the workers are | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
all laid off and move on to the next thing, you have a faster train | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
which makes it easier for companies to expand capacity and get the job | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
done more quickly. That is the more important of the effects, it makes | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
the region and companies more competitive. That is a slow-burn | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
effect. How long will it be before companies can save, we are more | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
competitive than we used to be. -- can say. A Cregagh effect might | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
come to small businesses. We have heard about the loan guarantees | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
seemed -- scheme. A lot of people have left -- lost out because we | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
have been dependent on the public sector. Will it work and will | :15:34. | :15:41. | |
businesses to develop? There are a number of schemes that the | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
government are looking at and they are complicated pieces of financial | :15:44. | :15:51. | |
engineering. There is a need for finance appear. There was a survey | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
in the Yorkshire Post today, 36% of companies would consider getting | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
money from the high street banks because they do not think they | :16:00. | :16:07. | |
would get it. It is a sad indictment. The banks say that no | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
one comes to them wanting a loan, because they have been put off | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
before it even tried. Part of it is getting banks to lend but part of | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
it is getting the message to small businesses that the banks are | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
lending, so you can borrow money, expand, have some apprentices, all | :16:24. | :16:31. | |
that kind of thing. Particularly as the public sector contracts, the | :16:31. | :16:38. | |
private sector must pick up the slack. And I am presenting -- you | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
are presenting my cadet -- to date programme from here tomorrow. | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
It has been described as the biggest strike in a generation. 900 | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
schools across Yorkshire will be closed a party closed on Wednesday. | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
The worst-hit area is expected to be Barnsley, for 97% of schools | :16:55. | :17:05. | |
:17:05. | :17:05. | ||
will be shot. Thousands of teachers will take part in the Walker Art. | :17:05. | :17:13. | |
-- the walk out. Teachers were on strike in June but Wednesday's | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
walkout will be bigger because this time, head teachers are taking part | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
as well and that makes it harder for schools to open. The majority | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
will be closed or partially closed. It shows you that really, whatever | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
level you are in education, these cuts and these increases in | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
contributions are affecting everyone. Christine is a teacher in | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
north Leeds he will strike on Wednesday. She says if the new | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
pension arrangements go ahead, staff will have to work longer. | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
Striking is a difficult decision for a teacher because we are here | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
for the benefit of the children. I want to support my younger | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
colleagues, he will have to work in the classroom until they are 68. I | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
think that is unreasonable. In terms of the teacher pension scheme, | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
there have been two recent Oddy -- audits which have said it is | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
sustainable. We are not a burden on the tax payer. There are no lessons | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
on Wednesday. Inconvenient for parents, but the majority we spoke | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
to seemed to be backing teachers. am disappointed that the school | :18:24. | :18:31. | |
will be closed but I support the teachers. They work extremely hard. | :18:31. | :18:37. | |
It is our greatest living people have to work until 68. A dash out | :18:37. | :18:47. | |
rages that people. A lot of people will have to arrange childcare. | :18:47. | :18:53. | |
Most teachers will show their feelings on Wednesday when they are | :18:53. | :19:00. | |
expected to walk out in vast numbers. | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
In the last few minutes the Ministry of Defence has said a | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
soldier killed in Afghanistan yesterday it was from Leeds. Our | :19:08. | :19:14. | |
reporter joins us from the newsroom. It is only in the last 20 minutes | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
but the Ministry of Defence has confirmed the latest soldier killed | :19:17. | :19:27. | |
:19:27. | :19:28. | ||
in Afghanistan is Sheldon's do from Leeds. He was on patrol when he was | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
caught up in an explosion. He was airlifted to the field hospital at | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
Camp Bastion but declared killed in action. His family have paid this | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
tribute to him. They say Sheldon was loving, caring and affectionate. | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
He loved being in the army. He was a big lad with a big heart and | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
words cannot express how much she will be missed. -- he will. | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
A man has been jailed for a minimum of 16 years for what a court heard | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
was the savage and sent us murder of his friend in Scarborough. | :20:03. | :20:10. | |
Former landscape gardener, Gary VIA, who was 48, was found dead. He had | :20:10. | :20:17. | |
been attacked by John Stanford. Police said they may never know why. | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
A 75-year-old woman has been attacked by another woman in the | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
Leyburn area of North Yorkshire. She was hit on the head four times | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
before her handbag was stolen. Police are asking for help to trace | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
the suspect he is believed to be in for 40s. | :20:32. | :20:41. | |
Coming up... And a supermarket syndicate wins | :20:41. | :20:49. | |
the lottery in Kay Mellor's latest TV drama. | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
I do not think that was your fault! They were not supermarket workers. | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
We have something about a school and a good drama. | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
Why do we talk about sport? -- why don't we. | :21:04. | :21:12. | |
How do Spade Town face a big match this season when they face trodden. | :21:12. | :21:22. | |
:21:22. | :21:32. | ||
There was a battle for Yorkshire pride at Elland Road. The | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
celebration was definitely a mistake but one they were happy to | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
repeat when they netted a second. A cracking free-kick got Leeds back | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
in the game but that is all they got thanks to looks do's heroics. | :21:48. | :21:58. | |
:21:58. | :22:04. | ||
Sheffield Wednesday made it eight home wins in nine starts. Not quite | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
how they practise dead but good enough to beat Leyton Orient and | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
are now second in the table. -- practised it. | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
Sheffield United could have been home in time for Strictly Come | :22:17. | :22:25. | |
Dancing! Bradford are deep in trouble in a | :22:25. | :22:34. | |
leak to. A draw at Gillingham still has to be considered a point gained. | :22:34. | :22:40. | |
It is the party season so time for an off-the-shoulder number. Brett | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
Williams' finish was ruled out because he opened the scoring in | :22:43. | :22:53. | |
:22:53. | :22:54. | ||
the 20th minute. It is not your day when a complete mess becomes an | :22:54. | :23:00. | |
