owners were overwhelmed by the interest in its heritage. Liverpool

names. And other coming north western band will play. I think it

will be a surreal experience. It is always lovely to play Manchester and

:02:35.:02:47.

see familiar faces. Sale Sharks beat London wasps 22`7.

:03:01.:03:01.

explains. Despite the smile, George hasn't had

:03:02.:03:05.

much luck in his short life. But for Sunderland Football Club he is

:03:06.:03:08.

proving to be a lucky charm. The four`year`old has had 75 operations,

as doctors try to uncover his mystery digestive condition. We

:03:12.:03:18.

ended up down at Great Ormond in London, which should have been for

:03:19.:03:21.

eight days and he's ended up being there the majority of his life. His

:03:22.:03:26.

equivalent of his tea is a bag of vitamins or a bag of fats. George

:03:27.:03:30.

has to be fed through his heart every night. His family are trying

:03:31.:03:34.

to raise thousands of pounds to go to America for treatment. He can

:03:35.:03:38.

wake up one morning and have something planned for the day and

can be in hospital, or an ambulance, or not come back from Great Ormond

:03:49.:03:52.

Sunderland won and he was mascot again when they beat Manchester

:03:53.:03:55.

United to reach Wembley. So the team has kept faith with George. When you

:03:56.:03:59.

are mascot they seem to win, don't they? Lucky mascot. Yes. All the

:04:00.:04:06.

other teams want me to support them. The other teams want you to support

:04:07.:04:13.

them so they win? Yes. And whether Sunderland win or lose tomorrow

:04:14.:04:15.

nobody deserves to walk out at Wembley more than George.

:04:16.:04:27.

Here's Mel Coles with the weather. Good evening. After a pleasant

:04:28.:04:31.

springlike day, we're going to see the cloud increase this evening

:04:32.:04:34.

There will be one or two showers and rain will push its way in. It may

:04:35.:04:38.

turn wintry through northern part of the Pennines. As it clears, there

:04:39.:04:42.

will be the risk of some ice, but on the whole temperatures not dropping

:04:43.:04:46.

far, with lows of around four or five Celsius. Tomorrow gets off to

:04:47.:04:49.

quite a dull start. Plenty of cloud around, some drizzle, some showers

:04:50.:04:53.

as well. Then the main band of rain starts to sweep in from the west,
