Attacked: Ron Aydelott, head coach for the Riverdale High School Warriors in Murfreesboro for nearly ten years, suffered serious facial injuries after being attacked by a 17-year-old student Tuesday . 'He basically just got attacked,' principal Tom Nolan told the Daily News Journal. 'The kid just went nuts on him. Coach Aydelott was sitting down at his desk and the guy just kept whaling on him. 'He finally stopped. The kid then walked into the office, put his hands behind his back and surrendered.' The boy was reportedly in the coach's office in order to turn in paperwork concerning his trying out for the team. The student was arrested by a school resource officer and charged with aggravated assault, according to a statement from the Rutherford County Sheriff's Department.

Over the past week or so I’ve been speaking to people who knew Jimmy Anderson in his early days. The Antigua Test, of course, will be his 100th, and he needs only four wickets – a morning’s and evening’s work with two new balls, perhaps? – to go past Ian Botham’s England record of 383. But some illuminating discussions left me wishing I’d had them before – and not waited until cricket’s statistical God tapped us all on the shoulder. A few themes recurred: Jimmy wouldn’t say boo to a goose; he surprised his new Lancashire colleagues by bowling fast and shaping it away; he was a natural. James Anderson needs just three wickets to go level with Sir Ian Botham as England's top Test wicket taker . Anderson (back, second from left) 'wouldn’t say boo to a goose' says his old county captain Warren Hegg . Anderson trains ahead of the first Test in Antigua on Monday, which will be his 100th for England . It was this last point that was most striking. Unlike the majority of England cricketers, Anderson did not ease effortlessly through the age groups. There’s even a suggestion Lancashire failed to spot his talent first time round, and needed to witness him at a second trial before they were convinced. Instead, he played for Burnley CC, a club which produced more than its share of first-class cricketers: the Brown brothers, Michael and David, John Clare, and Vishal Tripathi. So when he was finally snapped up by Lancashire Under-17s, he was very much in the raw. John Stanworth, who was then Lancashire’s player development manager, told me that coaches from other counties would pass comment on Anderson’s idiosyncrasies, not least his habit of looking at his feet as he delivered the ball. The retort was a simple one: Anderson was bowling fast and getting good batsmen out. Stanworth was wise enough to leave him alone, with one exception: at one stage, his back leg started coming behind his body, and he began running on the pitch. Anderson and his first England captain Nasser Hussain celebrate a wicket during the 2003 World Cup . England quick James Anderson plays his 100th Test match in Antigua against the West Indies from Monday . A session with Bob Cottam sorted that. Otherwise, Stanworth allowed Anderson to blossom, unencumbered by technical advice. Guess what happened? As soon Anderson got involved in the England Under-19 set-up, he mislaid his awayswinger. It took Lancashire coach Mike Watkinson – once a swing bowler himself – to reacquaint him with some fundamental truths about the art. Anderson’s next departure from the natural game that had served him so well came not long after his first taste of senior international cricket. From now on, the Top Spin will be shorter, sharper, more regular and maybe even more personal. For more cricket-related snippets, feel free to go to twitter.com/the_topspin . Between the end of the home summer in 2004 and the start of the 2006-07 Ashes, Anderson played two Tests – a disaster in Johannesburg and a

Summary: Jimmy Anderson could move past Ian Botham's record during first Test . Anderson is just four wickets away from beating Botham's tally of 383 . The Lancashire fast bowler has always been a natural swing bowler . Lowest points of Anderson's career have come with too much tinkering . Peter Moores deserves credit for allowing bowler to be himself for England .


They were widely regarded as the two best goalkeepers of their generation and their rivalry from on-the-pitch has continued into post retirement. Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel and his Bayern Munich counterpart Oliver Kahn have come face-to-face once more - this time as actors. In a move that is akin to former footballers Vinnie Jones and Eric Cantona, the pair showcase their performance skills by starring in Tipico's latest advert. Oliver Kahn (left) and Peter Schmeichel star in Tiplico's latest advert where they renew their rivalry . In a top trump style competition Kahn lists his accolades including three World Goalkeeper of the Year titles . In retaliation, Schmeichel quips that he was the best goalkeeper of all time in the advert . The former Manchester United goalkeeper proves this with his Reuters top trump card that says so . The pair have so many 'cards' to play, they're still playing them 50 years later . 'When we played against each other we wanted to win so in a way for 90 minutes we became enemies,' 51-year-old Schmeichel said behind the scenes of the filming. 'But this is very friendly we are working together a nice commmerical with Tipico. Our aim is to do the best.' In the advert, the duo square off in a top trump style competition of their honours and accolades. With nothing to separate the two, the gag is that the pair have so many 'cards' to play, they're still playing them 50 years later. 'I'm scared of myself! I have to say it was very interesting to wear a mask it was easier to become an actor,' 45-year-old Kahn said after wearing a mask to make him look 50 years older. 'You can hide yourself behind the mask.' And while the advert may be a memorable one, nothing will compare to the drama that unfolded between the two during United's famous Champions League final 2-1 win over Bayern in 1999. On playing against Kahn, Schmeichel admitted that the duo would became the best of enemies . Bayern Munich legend Kahn revealed he didn't like the look of himself aged by an additional 50 years .

Fashion fans who follow many of the top bloggers on Instagram experienced an extreme case of déjà vu over the weekend after the same dress was modeled by no less than 50 fashionistas. The highly usual situation was no coincidence, but rather a clever marketing ploy dreamed up by retailer Lord & Taylor to promote its edgy new fashion-forward range.

Fashion fans who follow many of the top bloggers on Instagram experienced an extreme case of déjà vu over the weekend after the same dress was modelled by no less than 50 fashionistas . The highly usual situation was no coincidence, but rather a clever marketing ploy dreamed up by retailer Lord & Taylor to promote its edgy new fashion-forward range . The move proved an instant success as the $88 Paisley Asymmetrical Dress sold out almost immediately and created an online buzz for the range. To convince that many fashionistas - including Caitlin Lindquist and Rachel Lynch - to promote your new line is extremely rare but Lord & Taylor didn’t leave anything to chance and the company has admitted that it paid the bloggers to wear the paisley-print, handkerchief-hem summer dress. Adweek reports that the bloggers received ‘unspecified compensation’ in return for giving the dress their seal of approval. ‘The goal was to make [the potential customer] stop in her feed and ask why all her favorite bloggers are wearing this dress, and what is Design Lab? Using Instagram as that vehicle is a logical choice, especially when it comes to fashion,’ said Lord & Taylor's CMO Michael Crotty. Many of the posts generated more than 1,000 Likes each, with several surpassing 5,000 Likes and some reaching rarified levels like 13,000 Likes. Significantly, none of the bloggers were transparant on their Instagram feeds about the fact that Lord & Taylor had paid them to promote the dress.

The Lord & Taylor deal highlights the gray area of bloggers receiving payment for promoting some goods and services, while others they lend their credability to for free. While newspapers and websites such as the Daily Mail Online have to be upfront and clearly state when something is paid for content, the rules are less stringent on social media. Many celebrities now promote products and luxury brands via Twitter in return for either payment or freebies. Rap star Snoop Dogg and actress Lindsay Lohan are among the famous names who have been paid by big businesses to promote products to

'I'll never know why he ran, but I know he didn't deserve to die. Please keep Walter and his family in your prayers and respect my privacy moving forward.' His words on Monday night came as audio surfaced of Officer Slager laughing and admitting to experiencing a rush of adrenaline in the minutes following the deadly shooting in South Carolina on April 5.

The camera continued to record for another hour and a recording of the audio feed, including the conversation between Slager and a senior officer, was obtained by The Guardian. 'By the time you get home, it would probably be a good idea to kind of jot down your thoughts on what happened,' the senior officer said. 'You know, once the adrenaline quits pumping.' 'It's pumping,' Slager said, laughing. The senior officer replied: 'Oh yeah. Oh yeah.' The senior officer told Slager during the conversation to go home and relax, assuring him that he would not have to answer questions about the shooting for days.

Protecting the FA Cup prize money is the biggest reason the FA is prepared to give away what amounts to almost title sponsorship of the tournament to Emirates Airlines. The proposed £30million, three-year contract for an Emirates FA Cup, revealed by Sports Agenda, gives the FA the resources to ensure the monies received by the clubs for progressing in the world’s most famous club knockout tournament. The figures range from £1,150 for winning the extra preliminary round through to the £1.8million either Aston Villa or Arsenal — on a par with the Wimbledon singles champions — will receive for lifting the trophy on May 30. Aston Villa will face the holders Arsenal in this season's final at Wembley Stadium . Should Arsenal repeat their 2014 FA Cup triumph, they stand to pocket £1.8million in prize money . The numbers will not register for Premier League clubs awash with TV money but £18,000 for winning a first-round Cup match would make a lot of difference to a non-League club. And the FA Cup fund — like the FA Trophy and Vase budget — was very likely to be raided before the Emirates deal to fund the £30m-a-year priorities of FA chairman Greg Dyke’s England Commission which centre on coaches and facilities that have seen all FA departments asked to make 15 per cent cuts. FA chairman Greg Dyke’s England Commission is focusing on coaches and facilities . Frank Arnesen, the original technical director in the Premier League, was one of the delegates at the first sporting directors summit — co-founders include Joe Royle’s son Darren — held at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester on Wednesday. And Arnesen, who worked in the role at Tottenham and Chelsea, believes the position is now an integral part of a modern football club provided the owner agrees. While at Chelsea, Arnesen tried to sign three Leeds youngsters resulting in chairman Ken Bates making an official complaint about an illegal approach. Chelsea paid £5m in compensation. Ironically, one of that trio, Danny Rose, who decided to stay at Elland Road at the time, is now in the England squad. Arnesen said: ‘I’m delighted for Danny. He was a real talent from the start.’ Tottenham defender Danny Rose (right) competes for possession with Manchester United's Juan Mata . Sky staff have no doubts the £4.2billion spend on Premier League rights is responsible for the latest huge cost-cutting exercise — an ‘Agility and Flexibility’ strategy delivered to 600 production services personnel this week that is expected to result in at least 70 redundancies. Operations director Darren Long, now nicknamed David Brent for the way he delivered news of job losses dressed up as changes in working patterns, was heckled for refusing to take questions. Sky say this planning started long before the PL tender. Meanwhile, those heading for Sky’s exit door after the consultation exercise will be delighted to know mediocre £4m-a-year pundit Thierry Henry paid for his private jet flight to the Sunderland v Newcastle match out of his own pocket. Sky pundit Thierry Henry (centre) paid for his

Islamic state militants have released photographs which appear to show the beheading of an 'alleged blasphemer.' A series of gruesome photographs show a man being led out of a van handcuffed and blindfolded before he is executed by a masked man, wielding a meat cleaver. His beheading is believed to have taken place in Hama in Syria. Scroll down for video . A man was apparently beheaded by ISIS in Hama, Syria, for being an alleged 'blasphemer' The series of photos are the latest images released by the militant group which is increasingly using propaganda to encourage would-be jihadi fighters and spread fear among those working against ISIS in Iraq and Syria. In one of the images the victims is seen blindfolded and kneeling on the floor, surrounded by men with guns. An executioner, with his face covered, stands behind him with what appears to be a meat cleaver raised over his head. The next photo, which is too disturbing to publish, shows the man after he has been murdered with his severed head placed on his body. Each of the images are similar to videos released of British and American hostages who have also beheaded by the militants. A series of gruesome images show the man being led from a van in handcuffs and blindfolded . The man was forced to kneel down while blindfolded before he is apparently brutally executed . It follows a video released by ISIS which week that warns 'America will burn' and threatens a repeat of the 9/11 atrocity that saw the twin towers destroyed. The 11-minute video features some of the group's most brutal killings - such as the beheading of American journalist James Foley and the brutal burning of Jordanian pilot Muadh al-Kasasbeh as he stood in a cage. The twin towers and still images of Osama bin Laden are also shown during the short video. Militants armed with rifles surround the man, while his executioner stands behind holding a meat cleaver . Propaganda is increasingly being used by ISIS as a way of attracting new recruits and gaining notoriety. The latest photographs follow a video released last month which show eight suspected informers, all dressed in red jumpsuits, being executed. In January, ISIS militants threatened to behead Barack Obama and turn the US into a Muslim province in another gruesome video that emerged from their self-styled caliphate.

Blindness didn't stop one New Hampshire man from taking on the Tough Mudder last week, where he was one of only 10 percent of competitors to successfully ring a bell while swinging on a rope 25 feet in the air. Randy Pierce, from Nashua, may now gearing up to run the Boston Marathon this month, but there was once a time he couldn't walk at all.

Randy Pierce, pictured at the Boston 5K with his late dog Quinn, was one of only 10 percent of competitors to successfully complete the Tough Mudder's 'King of the Swingers' obstacle in California last week . Pierce had to jump off a ledge and grab a piece of rope that he needed to swing to a bell 25 feet above the air, before falling into a pit of muddy water . And although he was 'frustrated and angry' at first, Pierce was soon training himself to walk again. 'I love turning obstacles into opportunity,' he told My Fox Boston. 'How much do you have to rebound from, how much do you have to climb up from? The the answer is, however much is there to be climbed.'

'When you can't walk, you learn what a gift it is to celebrate walking, climbing, running, whatever it is,' he said. And Pierce is now a viral star after his incredible performance at a Tough Mudder competition in California last week, where a video captured him completing the 'King of the Swingers' obstacle. Pierce left his wheelchair for good in 2006. He has since climbed all 48 mountains in New Hampshire, as well as run 30 road races, with his guide dog Quinn . Pierce decided to run the 2015 Boston Marathon in honor of Quinn after the dog passed away from bone cancer last year . The challenge, just one of many in the team-oriented 10-12 mile obstacle course, required Pierce to jump off a ledge and grab on to a rope, according to the Tough Mudder's website. As Pierce swung through the air, he successfully hit the bell each participant must try and ring, before falling 25 feet into a pit of muddy water. 'My fingers just grazed the bell but it started ringing and tipping and the crowd went crazy,' he told My Fox Boston. Now Pierce is hoping to hear he will hear the crowd cheer at the end of the Boston Marathon finish line, a race he is running in memory of Quinn, who passed away from bone cancer last year. It was Quinn who helped Pierce cross the finish line at Boston's shorter 5K run just a day before the bombings in 2013. And it is Quinn who will be on Pierce's

A farmer has been forced out of her home after a neighbour repeatedly exposed himself to her. Mandy Dunford, 54, was followed around her farm in the North Yorkshire Moors by 67-year-old Kenneth Ward, naked apart from socks and boots. The military historian even performed sex acts in front of her. Ward was jailed for five years in 2011 after admitting 11 counts of exposure and numerous firearms offences. Farmer Mandy Dunford, 54 (right), feels forced to leave her home after neighbour Kenneth Ward, 67 (left), who was jailed for exposing himself to her in 2011, was released from prison and allowed to return to his home . Police had discovered of a cache of weapons, including machine guns, in his home. A judge at Teesside Crown Court also imposed a Sexual Offences Prevention Order, banning the flasher from being within 200 metres of Miss Dunford. But while the former police officer believed her nine-year ordeal of harassment was over, Ward has now been released – and has successfully appealed to have the restraining order overturned. It means he will be able to return to his cottage next door to Miss Dunford’s farm in Chop Gate, North Yorkshire. As a result, she said she feels forced to leave. ‘I feel yet again that the offender has been given more rights than the victim,’ the farmer said. ‘My punishment for his crimes has been far worse than anything he has ever faced – I’m losing my home so that he can return to his … I expected to live here for the rest of my life with my animals around me.’ In a hearing held since Ward’s sentencing, a new boundary was drawn up allowing him to approach Miss Dunford’s farm from all sides. She added: ‘It means he can follow me around with only the width of a wire fence between us. ‘When I heard the order had been changed … I was horrified and I knew my only option was to pack up and leave. I will be forced to abandon my home and my life just so that he can return … I can’t see the justice in that and I want to know why the rights of a man who tortured me for so long are more important than mine.’ Miss Dunford’s problems with Ward began when she put a gate across a lane shared by their properties. Ward was jailed for five years in 2011 at Teesside Crown Court (pictured) after admitting 11 counts of exposure and numerous firearms offences. However, he has now been released and allowed to return home . She said: ‘He first started exposing himself to me around 2002 and would peer in through my windows with his wild staring eyes. ‘He’d run around the house at night shouting and tapping on the windows … he’d come right up to me and follow me around wearing nothing but boots and socks. ‘Sometimes he’d climb a ladder and expose himself over the wall of his cottage and once he confronted me on the lane and

Get ready to dig deep - the impulse to buy a treat peaks today at 12.52pm. A study claims that Britons spend an average of £62 a week on rewarding themselves, with retail therapy reaching a high at lunchtime today. Treats can range from as little as a bar of chocolate or a glass of wine to designer clothes and shoes, according to research by website VoucherCodes.co.uk. A study reveals that Britons spend an average of £62 a week on rewarding themselves, with retail therapy reaching a high at lunchtime today. Treats can range from a bar of chocolate to a glass of wine . And surprisingly, men spend a third more a month than women on treating themselves. They are also more likely to lie about their expenditure and hide items they have purchased from their partners in a desperate quest to keep their shopping habits under wraps, a different survey last year found. The shoppers of Swansea are the most frivolous, with 44 per cent splurging as soon as they are paid, followed by those in Aberdeen (42 per cent) and Belfast (39 per cent). The most cautious spenders live in Wolverhampton, where only 19 per cent choose to treat themselves on pay day. Designer items (stock image above) are also popular buys and men spend a third more a month than women on treating themselves, the research claims . Other research claimed the average Brit spends £153 within 24 hours of payday - while 10 per cent splurge more than £500. Some workers said they spend so much in the 24 hours after payday because they had arranged their regular payments and direct debits to leave their accounts around that time. While others said it was because they felt like they deserved the treat.

Fearing for their lives, hundreds of African immigrants have begun arriving in their home countries after fleeing the bloody violence that has swept across South Africa. Among them were some 400 Zimbabweans – including pregnant women and babies – who were packed onto buses to escape the anti-immigrant attacks that have left seven people dead in recent days. They were pictured wearily disembarking in the safe haven of a migration centre in the Zimbabwean border town of Beitbridge after leaving Durban yesterday. About 3,200 Malawians have also sought refuge in temporary camps amid the ensuing chaos.

'My speech... was directed at the police, calling for stricter law enforcement, but that was never reported,' he said.

Jonas Gutierrez was dropped after a fallout with Newcastle head coach John Carver – and is now set to be released at the end of the season. The Argentinian – who has twice beaten testicular cancer - was not even named among the substitutes for Sunday’s 3-1 defeat at home to Spurs. Afterwards, Carver said Gutierrez was left out for ‘selection reasons’ before stating that he did not want to talk about the player. Jonas Gutierrez was dropped from squad for Sunday's defeat by Tottenham following row with John Carver . The 31-year-old had earlier posted a message on Twitter saying that he was not injured. Indeed, sources close to Gutierrez say that he was axed following a heated exchange with Carver. Gutierrez was upset when he was dropped from the starting XI for last week’s 3-0 loss at Liverpool. He had been United’s best player during the Tyne-Wear derby defeat at Sunderland in the previous game and was surprised by his omission, which was explained as a tactical switch to pair Jack Colback and Mehdi Abeid in midfield. What followed was a training-ground disagreement with Carver and Gutierrez tweeted on Thursday, ‘I am tired about some things. I am Geordie. Newcastle deserves more’. Meanwhile, a source added: ‘They are treating him very badly. He does not deserve this. He just wants to play for Newcastle.’ Gutierrez’s contract is up in the summer and he will be let go after seven years at the club. The clause which meant he would be guaranteed an extension after eight starts this season cannot now be activated. However, Sportsmail also understands that Gutierrez trained with the first-team on Monday and will be in the squad for Saturday’s visit of Swansea with both Carver and the player keen to move on from their dispute. The midfielder has long since been critical of his treatment by the Magpies after they told him to find a new club when he returned to Tyneside having beaten the cancer for the first time in November, 2013. Newcastle midfielder was given a heartfelt ovation when he appeared as a substitute at Anfield . Gutierrez was eventually loaned out to Norwich City for the remainder of the season. The cancer, however, returned last summer and he underwent a course of chemotherapy in Argentina. He returned to Newcastle in December and has made five appearances, the last of which came as a second-half substitute at Anfield when he was given a heartfelt ovation by the home fans. And, in an interview last month, Gutierrez spoke of his disappointment at the manner in which Newcastle had handled his illness. 'I won't be able to forgive the way I've been treated, no,’ he said. Gutierrez will not be offered a new deal by Newcastle despite seven years at the club . 'I don't think it was the right time nor the circumstances and I think at times like that, you should look after the individual, the player. 'I returned mid-November (2013) and in December the manager said I should find myself another club, that it

Summary: Jonas Gutierrez will not be offered a new deal by Newcastle in the summer . The midfielder was dropped from squad for Sunday's match against Spurs . The Argentine was axed following a heated argument with John Carver .


Interested parties have begun due diligence on West Brom as the sale of the club edges closer. The Baggies are on the market with chairman Jeremy Peace understood to want between £150million and £200million for the club. Groups from America, Australia and the Far East are believed to be interested in buying Albion after Peace confirmed he would be open to offers in February. West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace is hoping to sell the club for between £150million and £200million . Manager Tony Pulis has been assured that the deal will be done by July, so as not to affect pre-season . He has set a July deadline to complete any deal to ensure it does not drag out and hamper their summer transfer plans under head coach Tony Pulis. Should he fail to sell the club, though, then Peace, who has been chairman for 13 years, will remain committed to Albion, who are on course to seal a sixth straight season in the Barclays Premier League. Pulis said on Monday he was unaware of any imminent sale but Peace has given him assurances it will not drag on over the summer. Any due diligence of the Hawthorns club is likely to be helped after they announced pre-tax profits of £14.7million up to end of June 2014 in February. The Baggies are 13th in the Barclays Premier League, seven points clear of the relegation zone, with four games left and go to Manchester United on Saturday. Pulis has led West Brom to 13th in the Premier League after taking over when they were in danger of relegation .

As they were booked into jail, some of the suspects were forced to take off their shirts and reveal their ink - many of which are believed to be tied to gangs. Detained: A gang member arrested during raids by Homeland Security and Customs officials across the country shows off his head tattoo in Dallas, Texas (left). The letters could mean he was a member of a Sureno (Mexican Mafia) gang and was originally based in El Paso. Another suspect covered in tattoos poses in Lubbock, Texas (right) Images released following the raids show tables covered in confiscated guns and defendants showing off their gang tattoos. The greatest activity took place in the San Juan, Dallas, El Paso, Los Angeles and Detroit.

From those in crime syndicates 913 were charged with criminal offenses and 63 were arrested administratively for immigration violations; 650 had violent criminal histories, including 19 individuals wanted on active warrants for murder and 15 for rape or sexual assault; and 199 were foreign nationals, of which 151 were gang members and gang associates. Suspect: A man shows off his ink before being booked into jail in Lubbock, Texas, following the nationwide raid where more than 1,200 people were arrested. One of the markings on his back is of the Virgin Mary . Identity: Two more suspects reveal their tattoos to the authorities in Dallas (left) and Denver, Colorado (right). One of the men has a five-point crown, meaning he could be a member of a the Latins King gang while the other has a large cannabis leaf emblazoned on his chest . Designs: A pair of alleged gang members pull up their shirts to show their artwork in San Antonio, Texas (left), and Denver, Colorado (right). The one on the left has an Aztec design, meaning the suspect could be part of a gang with Mexican or Latin American origins while the clown has a variety of meanings, depending on the facial expression . Animated: One man detained in Dallas, Texas, appears to have a character from the film Monsters Inc

Masked raiders used an angle grinder to try and break into a cash machine before they fled police in a stolen Audi at speeds of up to 145mph. The gang of four were seen trying to hack into an ATM outside a Waitrose supermarket in Kenilworth in Warwickshire, before they fled police in the stolen car after nearby residents reported seeing sparks flying from the cash machine. When they were arrested at a flat in Tamworth a list of ATMs was found.

They were tracked to a block of flats in Tamworth in Staffordshire. Scroll down for video . Police tracked the masked gang as they fled the scene of the attempted raid in a stolen Audi RS7 (circled) after they had spent around eight minutes trying to hack into an ATM outside a Waitrose supermarket . The group reached speeds of 145mph in the stolen car as they headed towards flats in Tamworth . Members of the gang used a circular saw, crowbars and a hydraulic cutter - known as an angle grinder - usually used by firefighters to rescue people from car crashes. They spent eight minutes trying to access the vault - causing £20,000 of damage - before speeding off in a stolen Audi RS7 at 3.20am on September 29 last year. The Audi had been stolen from a house in Bicester in Oxon on September 10 in a bid to shake off officers in a chase to the Tamworth apartment. Gang members Mark Kirk, 34, Pedro Taylor, 30, and Jason Hadley, 27, were then found hiding in the Tamworth apartment and arrested.

The gang all admitted conspiracy to steal and aggravated vehicle taking, and have been jailed. After the hearing, police released video footage showing the foursome accelerating away from chasing police cars whose on-board cameras show them reaching a top speed of 145mph.

Hollie Tillbrook, 17, was saved by two off-duty police officers when she had a heart attack in Basildon, Essex . A teenager battling bulimia who 'died' on the street from a heart attack was saved by a pair of off-duty police officers who gave her CPR. Hollie Tillbrook, 17, was out with her boyfriend in Basildon's Festival Leisure Park, Essex, when she suddenly collapsed. Doctors believe her potassium levels had plummeted to such a low level that her heart completely stopped. But luckily, two officers, believed to be from the Met Police, rushed to her side and gave Hollie life-saving CPR until an ambulance arrived. She was then rushed to Basildon hospital, where she was put into an induced coma. But the teenager then made an unexpected recovery which stunned medics. She is now recovering at her home in Leigh, Essex, despite her mother Denise Bennett being told to expect the worst. The family are now trying to find the police officers who saved Hollie so they can thank them in person. Hollie said: 'I don't remember much about what happened that day but I owe the doctors and the off-duty officers everything. 'I feel very tired still and I know I have a long recovery ahead. It's been really horrible but I am so thankful to be alive.' Ms Bennett added: 'I would love to be able to meet the police officers who saved my daughter's life and for them to get in touch . 'I really want to thank the two off duty police officers that saved my daughter's life. They are just absolute heroes. 'And also the critical care team at Basildon Hospital - the treatment she received there was brilliant.' The drama unfolded while Hollie was waiting outside the Chiquito's restaurant while her boyfriend Gary Hobbs went to park his car. When he came back, he found Hollie laying on the floor with a crowd gathered around her. Ms Bennett then received a phone call, telling her what had happened. The 17-year-old, who suffers with bulimia, had collapsed because she had a dangerous level of potassium in her body. She is now recovering at home with her mother Denise Bennett (right) Humans need potassium in higher amounts than any other mineral. Adults need around 3,500mg in their body per day. Potassium plays a fundamental role in maintaining the fluid and acid/alkaline balance of the body. It is vital for the transmission of nerve impulses and helps the heart to beat regularly. It also counterbalances sodium in the body, and is known to help lower blood pressure. To get enough you need to eat plenty of fruit and vegetables, which are especially good sources because they also provide a low level of sodium. The Dietary and Nutritional Survey of British Adults (HMSO 1990) showed that the average intake of potassium is 3,187mg in males and 2,434mg in females. Compared with the daily recommendation of 3500mg intakes they are therefore low. People most at risk of marginal potassium include the elderly, athletes and manual workers who sweat out a lot

Summary: Hollie Tillbrook's heart momentarily stopped after she fainted in Basildon . But two nearby officers thought to be from the Met rushed to give her CPR . Mother Denise Bennett was told to expect worst, but Hollie unexpectedly woke up from her induced coma . The family now want to try and find the off-duty officers who saved her life .


The 2013/14 season was seen as a step forward for Arsenal, spending the majority of the campaign at the top of the Premier League and ending their trophy drought with the FA Cup. But the Gunners still finished in fourth place yet again, with Arsene Wenger's team were heavily criticised after throwing away the title. That poor run of form in 2014 couldn't seem further away now with Arsenal flying in the league, a recent 4-1 victory against Liverpool demonstrating their step forward. But still, the north London side have exactly the same record as they did at this stage last season. Arsenal were reeling after a 6-0 defeat by Chelsea at this stage last season and had 63 points from 31 games . The Gunners are now in fine form and beat Liverpool 4-1 on Saturday but still have the exact same record . The Premier League table after Arsenal had played 31 games in 2013/14 (left), and now (right) Played 31, won 19, drawn six, lost six - the only stat differentiating the two tables is Arsenal's favourable goal difference in this campaign - a season which their points tally of 63 merits a place of second, rather than fourth. With the addition of Alexis Sanchez as well as a new-found solidity in Francis Coquelin and the goalscoring returns of Olivier Giroud and Mesut Ozil, the Gunners are already being tipped to challenge for the title next season. But the run of form at the start of the season - in contrast to 2013/14 when they impressed in the opening months - has cost Wenger. Defeats by Swansea, Stoke and Manchester United will be looked back on with regret by this Arsenal team, as well as dropping points late on at Liverpool and Tottenham. Mathieu Flamini celebrates after equalising in Arsenal's 31st game last season against Manchester City . The Gunners were in fine form at the beginning of the 2013/14 season and topped the table for many weeks . They currently top the European form guide but still can't beat their efforts from last year, at this stage at least. Wind back a year and Arsenal were reeling from a 6-0 defeat by Chelsea, drawing with Swansea and Manchester City before another humiliating loss at the hands of Everton. Things are certainly on the up for the Gunners now and they do look in fine shape heading into the summer, but they should not forget what could have been, this season and last. Arsene Wenger will regret many results in this season - including a 3-2 defeat by Stoke City in December .

Summary: Arsenal were title contenders in 2013/14 season before faltering at the end . Gunners have same record after 31 games: Won 19, drawn six, lost six . Arsene Wenger insists Arsenal have improved with likes of Alexis Sanchez . Arsenal started this season poorly with defeats at Swansea and Stoke City . Adrian Durham: Arsenal only turn it on when the pressure is off .


Derby hero Jermain Defoe was lost for words as he tried to describe the emotion of scoring his stunning winner against Newcastle admitting he even had to question that it was even happening. The Sunderland hitman smashed home a missile of a left-footed volley in Sunday's 1-0 win at the Stadium of Light to ease the Black Cats three points clear of the Barclays Premier League relegation zone and send Wearside into ecstasy. It was just the club's third home league win of the season, but a fifth successive victory over the Magpies, and January signing Defoe will have good reason to remember it long after he has finally hung up his boots. Jermain Defoe (centre) connects beautifully with a left-footed volley to fire Sunderland into a 1-0 lead . Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul was unable to do anything about Defoe's 45th-minute strike . The 32-year-old said: 'It just happened so quickly, but as soon as it left my foot, I knew. It's one of those moments when you think, "Wow! Is this even happening?". The stadium just erupted and I got emotional, it was crazy. 'The feeling, it's hard to even find words to describe that sort of feeling. It's special. 'It's up there, to be honest - and with my weaker foot, it's definitely up there, top five easily easily. 'It's definitely up there - top two, actually. The feeling, why I got emotional, that feeling was unbelievable.' 'I remember a long ball, and Fletch was unbelievable because he played the number nine role up there on his own and me and Connor (Wickham) were just beside him. The 32-year-old watches on as the strike- his third for Sunderland - flies over Krul in the Magpies goal . The striker wheels away in celebration of his brilliant strike just before the half-time whistle was blown . 'Even from when I was young and you do finishing, I have always practised on my left foot because in games, sometimes you get chances and sometimes it comes on your left foot, so I have always practised over the years from when I was very young so I feel comfortable that when a chance comes, I can not even think about it, I can just hit it like I did. 'But to score a goal like that in a game like this, it's a dream come true.' Sunderland might have increased their lead as the game opened up with the visitors launching a desperate late attempt to salvage a point, but in the end, a single goal was enough to leave Defoe marvelling at his first experience of the Wear-Tyne rivalry. He said: The lads said, 'Just wait', but wow! Even in the warm-up, the noise, and coming down the tunnel, I had goosebumps. Defoe seemed overcome with emotion as he fell to the turf shortly after putting Sunderland into a 1-0 lead . The 32-year-old frontman looked close to tears as both teams left the Stadium of Light pitch at half-time . 'But even travelling to the stadium and seeing all the

Summary: Sunderland beat Newcastle 1-0 at the Stadium of Light on Sunday . Jermain Defoe scored the winner with a stunning volley from 25 yards . The striker was lost for words as he tried to describe the feeling .
