Planet Sport - 28 July 2010

ab_ita_svk_cropped_175x185This week's show is presented by Adrian Barnard (left).

Gavin Peacock (right) played over 600 matches in a football career spanning 17 years from 1984-2001.  As a youngster he played for England Schoolboys and England Youth before signing for west London club, Queens Park Rangers.peacock_610x500

In 1989 he was signed by Bournemouth manager, Harry Redknapp, now the boss at Tottenham before moving to Newcastle United a year later.  He matured as an attacking midfield player during his time at St James' Park and helped the Geordie side gain promotion to the Premier League.  His talents were spotted by Chelsea and in 1993 he moved to Stamford Bridge in a £1.5 million deal.  In the 1993/94 season he famously scored the winning goal in both league matches against Manchester United and, in the FA Cup Final against the same side, hit the crossbar when the score was still 0-0 (United went on to win 4-0).

In the first of a special two-part interview, Gavin talks to Planet Sport about his career in football, some of the great players and coaches he has worked with, and how he combined his faith as a follower of Jesus with playing Premier League football.  (You can hear part two of the interview in the 11 August show.)

  • MardoThe Rugby League World has spent the last fortnight in a state of uncertainty as the World Club Champions, The Melbourne Storm, were stripped of 2 major and 3 minor premierships for breaching the National rugby League Salary Cap.
     
    The salary cap in force in Australia is designed to ensure an even playing field for all NRL teams. In previous years the Canterbury Bulldogs were denied a spot in the final after being stripped of a full years points for overpaying their players, but the both the scale and penalty of Melbournes breach is much larger.
     
    The Storm kept two sets of books for 5 years, often going several hundreds of thousands dollars over their alloted player fees. As punishment the club, but not the players, have been stripped of their titles and being made to repay all prize money.
     
    While several executive heads have rollen, the players are also being punished by not being awarded any competition points for this year until the club is back under the cap. This has caused the most controversy.
     
    Other areas of uncertainty surround who will be awarded the minor premierships for the 3 years the Storm were deemed to be cheating, and will the storm face consequences from the R.L.I.F over the World Club Challenge? The biggest question, however, is will rugby league survive in the Aussie Rules mad Melbourne, once they have lost several of their star players, and a lot of shine?
