future how much he left behind in italian football. most importantly as a man italian football. most importantly a5 a man he was italian football. most importantly as a man he was very italian football. most importantly a5 a man he was very kind per5on. italian football. most importantly a5 a man he was very kind person. he had it time for everybody. he really had it time for everybody. he really had time for the cat man and everyone. to look after them if he had trouble he was kind of, injury concern, how can he help someone. i think that shows him as a personality, and off the pitch it shows how much action he was given to the football industry as well knock u5 to the football industry as well knock us off the pitch but on the pitch a5 knock us off the pitch but on the pitch as well. he was one of the players who contributed to the success of the premier league today. he had a way of how the english football should progress. he brought all of that to england from italy a5

all of that to england from italy as an experienced player. a5 all of that to england from italy as an experienced player. as you look back today, he was one of the players and managers who brought a lot to the premier league. he players and managers who brought a lot to the premier league.— lot to the premier league. he was our lot to the premier league. he was your manager _ lot to the premier league. he was your manager at — lot to the premier league. he was your manager at watford. - lot to the premier league. he was your manager at watford. he - lot to the premier league. he was l your manager at watford. he signed your manager at watford. he signed you up. your manager at watford. he signed ou u -. ., your manager at watford. he signed ou u, ., ., , your manager at watford. he signed ouu, ., ., your manager at watford. he signed ouu. ., ., your manager at watford. he signed ou u, ., .,, ., .,, ., you up. how was that? it was great. it was a surprise _ you up. how was that? it was great. it was a surprise first _ you up. how was that? it was great. it was a surprise first of _ you up. how was that? it was great. it was a surprise first of all, - you up. how was that? it was great. it was a surprise first of all, i - it was a surprise first of all, i had a successful 5pell when the travel at celtic. i want to stay but there wasn�*t an offer from celtic and it was at the end of the transfer. and the end of my career and i suddenly got a call from vialli with eltonjohn. fir5t and i suddenly got a call from vialli with eltonjohn. first of all that i thought it was a joke that they were taking the mickey out of me. but it was really them and they said they want me to send me at watford fc and what do i think about it? i said

look like a real units, looking solid in defence. in attack marcu5 ra5hford i5 solid in defence. in attack marcu5 ra5hford is in great form. he has scored four goals in four games since returning from the world cup. mistre55 united has not won a trophy since 2017, despite their recent form you imagine the premier league might be a stretch for them this season but they fancy their chances in the fa cup5. it is a competition they have great credit to enter. they have one 12 times. there manager is there manager is from the. in england the fa cups is even more. higher— in england the fa cups is even more. higher expectations than the netherlands, but i like the cup in the netherlands as well. it is a different— the netherlands as well. it is a different league, so, in not so many games— different league, so, in not so many games you — different league, so, in not so many games you can achieve a lot. also,

you have _ games you can achieve a lot. also, you have to— games you can achieve a lot. also, you have to become a winner. this is possible _ you have to become a winner. this is possible when you draw and there's a replay, _ possible when you draw and there's a replay, but _ possible when you draw and there's a replay, but after two there is a knockout, _ replay, but after two there is a knockout, so i like that. clearly everton�*5 priority is to stay up this season, butjust three nights after that heavy defeat to brighton, frank lampard will really hope to see a reaction from his players? that�*5 that�*s right, olly fo5ter, every attendance form has been the polar opposite to manchester united. everton have only one at one of their last ten matches and that has pushed them to the relegation zone. that defeat5 against brighton during the week was really a new low for them. they were booed off at

half—time, they were also booed off at the final whistle. that has increased the scrutiny on frank lampard. the board say they are sticking with him for not but another heavy defeat here tonight will only increase the pressure on frank lampard and his will only increase the pressure on frank lampard and hi5job a5 a manager. particularly with big league match is coming up against southampton and it was time who are also struggling. tho5e southampton and it was time who are also struggling. those are pivotal matches for everton. while staying up matches for everton. while staying up is the focus for frank lampert and everton, he says the fa cups is also something important to them. the fa cups is a competition of pride _ the fa cups is a competition of pride for— the fa cups is a competition of pride for everton _ the fa cups is a competition of pride for everton in— the fa cups is a competition of pride for everton in its- the fa cups is a competition of pride for everton in its history. the fa cups is a competition of. pride for everton in its history and in my— pride for everton in its history and in my history— pride for everton in its history and in my history as— pride for everton in its history and in my history as well. _ pride for everton in its history and in my history as well. so, - pride for everton in its history and in my history as well. so, i- pride for everton in its history and in my history as well. so, i give i pride for everton in its history and in my history as well. so, i give it| in my history as well. so, i give it the same — in my history as well. so, i give it the same importance. _ in my history as well. so, i give it the same importance. it - in my history as well. so, i give it the same importance. it is - in my history as well. so, i give it the same importance. it is a - the same importance. it is a different— the same importance. it is a different competition - the same importance. it is a different competition but. the same importance. it is a different competition but off the same importance. it is a - different competition but off the back all— different competition but off the back all of— different competition but off the back all of the _ different competition but off the back all of the feeling _ different competition but off the back all of the feeling after- back all of the feeling after brighton, _ back all of the feeling after brighton, next _ back all of the feeling after brighton, next run - back all of the feeling after brighton, next run on - back all of the feeling after brighton, next run on the i back all of the feeling after- brighton, next run on the cards whether— brighton, next run on the cards whether it's _ brighton, next run on the cards whether it's fa _ brighton, next run on the cards whether it's fa cups _ brighton, next run on the cards whether it's fa cups or- brighton, next run on the cardsj whether it's fa cups or premier league — whether it's fa cups or premier

and cristiano ronaldo�*s signing for al nassr would strengthen their case. you have to remember that the decision for 2030 is going to be made in 202a. for all the voters in fifa membership, qatar is going to be very much in front and centre in their minds. to take the world cup back to the middle east so it soon, that is quite and ask. also, you have the complexity around another northern hemisphere revise calendar happening pretty soon after the one we just happened to have. my best guess is saudi arabia is a better bet for 2038. gfx)and you can hear more of that interview on the sports desk podcast which is available now on bbc sounds lets take a quick look at some of the day�*s other sporting headlines alice capsey is in the england squad for the women�*s twenty20 world cup next month despite breaking her collarbone. bowler kate cross is the only

with a stop is a reminder of our top story at the death of general keep bialik the former chelsea striker and manager who died from pancreatic cancer at the age of 58. that�*s all from sportsday. it's it�*s been a mild wet and windy start to 2023. one area of low pressure was away and a powerful perhaps as much as a0 millimetres through some parts of wales and the south—west. but all of us will see some rain.

so it�*s a good job that we had a brief window of respite on friday for many, but as you can see, that rain is marching in during the course of the night across northern ireland, scotland, western parts of england, wales there is a met office yellow warning across wales and the south—west because there�*s a concern with the grounds for saturated in the rain lasting for quite a long time. we could have some further flood issues ahead of that. temperatures will temporarily dip away. a chilly start to the night, but they will lift then later on. so the weekend is looking unsettled. we�*ll have rain or showers and some strong winds to go with it as well. so some fairly strong winds with this band of rain, which then clears away from much of scotland, northern ireland, wales and the southwest, but it drags its heels across eastern areas during the day. it may linger for much of daylight here, but lots of showers rushing in behind and the winds escalate again to gale force. so temperatures actually fall away during the day after a very mild night. and i think as well that wind on it will be tempered a little. those winds touching gale force, as you can see in northern and western areas.

lots of showers continuing through saturday night into sunday as well. so it�*s not going to be a cold night either. as we head towards sunday morning, there might be a bit more brightness and sunshine around during the course of sunday itself, but that low pressure is closer to our shores. so with it, gale force winds as well as heavy showers, rumbles of thunder still cold enough. a little bit of snow on the tops of the mountains across scotland. but again, nothing too cold for this time of year when we normally expect our lowest temperature to like 7 to 9 degrees celsius. a little bit chillier than saturday. what about the start of next week? well, we may see a brief respite from those strong winds and showers on monday as this ridge of high pressure builds in, particularly monday night. so quite chilly, but waiting in the wings, we�*ve got the next spell of wet and windy weather. so it does look, again,

very unsettled and mild by tuesday.
