      Inside life of ‘special man’ Lee Carsley who raised son with Down’s Syndrome and continues second job alongside England

      by

      LEE CARSLEY does not intend to put his life on hold after becoming interim England manager.The Three Lions boss oversaw wins over the Republic of Ireland and Finland in his first two games in charge, and has received growing support to take the job on full-time.Lee Carsley has received growing support to be the next permanent England managerCredit: AlamyBut he admitted how he turned from being a ‘selfish’ player after the birth of his second sonCredit: GettyCarsley takes his son, who has Down’s Syndrome, to Solihull Moors Foundation on FridaysCredit: Instagram @solihullmoorsfoundationBut Carsley, described as a “special man” by SunSport columnist Troy Deeney, is far more than just an international coach.He is a loving father who takes his son, Connor, to training for the Solihull Moors Foundation’s Down’s Syndrome team regularly on Friday evenings.In an interview with the Daily Mail last year, Carsley opened up on how the birth of his second son in 1999 saw him turn the leaf from being a “selfish” Premier League player.Carsley has three children with wife Louisa.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLHis second son, Connor, was born with Down’s Snydrome, a condition which increases the risk of health complications such as heart disorders, hearing problems, thyroid issues and recurrent infections.He said: “It affected the whole family. I was quite selfish as a player. I didn’t know anything about special needs because it didn’t affect me. “I was quite sheltered in terms of if you went to hospital (for an injury), you went to a specialist. A car took you in, waited, you went straight in, back in the car and away. “We went from that to, ‘No, this is the real world, if you want a speech therapist you have to get in the queue with everyone else’.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERS”That probably doesn’t sound right but it was different from what we’d always done. “It made me a lot more aware of the bigger picture, the bigger world, more aware of how much support families need. Money is obviously important but it didn’t help us.”‘Good on him’ – Lee Carsley wins the praise of Roy Keane after very frank admission following first two England gamesCarsley also revealed how Connor, now 25, would take up around 80 per cent of his and his wife’s time when growing up compared to siblings Callum and Lois.His own fundraising efforts for the foundation led to extra support being made available for other families.When moving to Everton in 2002 he became vice-president of the club’s Disabled Supporters’ Association, while his influence led to further donations to the Down’s Syndrome Association from team-mates.The late Sven-Goran Eriksson was said to be among those to contribute.Carsley, 50, also has the second job of coaching weekly sessions for young footballers aged between 16 and 21 at the Strachan Football Foundation in Warwick.It affected the whole family. I was quite selfish as a player. I didn’t know anything about special needs because it didn’t affect me.Lee CarsleyOn his role at the team, he said: “I still find a way to coach which gives me the chance to practise what I’m going to do with any teams I’m working with.”I could potentially be practising for two months on what I’m going to try, rather than a day when you’ve got two games in an international window.”It gives me a chance to experiment and then hopefully deliver it when the (England) players are live.”I was there in Warwick last Friday (Aug 23). I’ve been doing that for maybe three years. It’s like an education and coaching centre.”The biggest thing you notice when you first come and work internationally is that you stop coaching and I was adamant that wasn’t going to happen to me.”My biggest strength is coaching so that is one of the things I didn’t want to stop.READ MORE SUN STORIES”I have other priorities within the job as well. I have to be creative and make sure I have got a couple of hours every week on a Friday morning that I’m able to get out there and try things and get it wrong!”England’s next games will come in October against Greece and Finland.England ratings vs Finland: Kane bags double on his big day… but he’s not the Three Lions’ star manTRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD showed his brilliance as Harry Kane’s brace saw England beat Finland.Interim boss Lee Carsley maintained his 100 per cent win record in charge of England.SunSports Tom Barclay has given their ratings of the England players…Jordan Pickford – 6Had nothing to do.Trent Alexander-Arnold – STAR MAN 9England’s best player as he supplied some beautiful balls from deep that on another day would have led to a glut of assists.He did get one in the end, although that was more thanks to Harry Kane’s lethal finishing.Ezri Konsa – 6Showed his ability on the ball with a super ball through for Bukayo Saka on the half hour.Twisted his ankle early in the second half, surprisingly played on before being replaced on the hour.John Stones – 6Played at left-sided centre-back before shifting when Levi Colwill came on.Solid though not much to deal with. Now 19 short of 100 caps.Rico Lewis – 7In the right place to snuff out early danger from ex-Norwich man Teemu Pukki.Came close to a goal on his second England cap when prodding wide after the break.Declan Rice – 5Lost possession to give Finland their one and only big chance which Topi Kesinen should have squared to Pukki, but instead fired wildly over.Angel Gomes – 7Wanted the ball from the off, just like Lee Carsley thought he would. Deliciously drilled cross-field ball to Alexander-Arnold early doors showed his range.Bukayo Saka – 7Almost scored and almost assisted in a lively display.Unlucky that Kane was millimetres offside after the centurion had headed home the Arsenal man’s wicked delivery.Jack Grealish – 7Enjoyed being in the heart of the action at No10 again, as he did on Saturday against the Republic of Ireland.Carsley clearly likes him – it will be fascinating to see what happens when Mssrs Bellingham, Foden and Palmer all return.Anthony Gordon – 7Caused problems down the left with his rapid pace – how we needed some of that in the Euros.But did not have on his shooting boots as he fluffed a decent chance early in the second half.Harry Kane – 8Two blistering finishes took the centurion to an astonishing 68 goals in 100 caps.Was denied the chance of a hat-trick in front of his family when subbed off to a standing ovation for the final ten.Kane said he fancies his chances of reaching a ton of international goals – and it does not seem fanciful.SUBSLevi Colwill (on for Konsa, 61) – 6Next to no threat from Finland by the time he came on.Eberechi Eze (on for Gordon, 66) – 6Raced on to yet another special Trent pass but could not loop it over the keeper.Noni Madueke (on for Saka, 66) – 7Looked to make an impact every time he got the ball on debut. Excellent one-two with Trent saw the Chelsea man tee up Kane’s second.Marc Guehi (on for Stones, 80) – 6As with Colwill, little to do.Jarrod Bowen (on for Kane, 81) – 6Played up top after Kane went off for the final minutes, as he has done for West Ham.

      Spice up your sex life & DON’T watch Celebs Go Dating – my 8 rules for Kyle Walker and Annie to rescue rocky marriage

      by

      LOVE rat Footballer Kyle Walker has been taken back into the family home by Annie Kilner. His long-suffering wife, 32, has allowed the Manchester City player, 34, back for the sake of their children but has told pals they have not fully reconciled. Annie has allowed Kyle to move back into the family home for the sake of their kidsCredit: BackGridKyle’s former mistress Lauryn Goodman, 33, is currently appearing on Celebs Go DatingCredit: PAA source said: “They either had to make a go of it or move on, and they’ve decided to see how things go.“It’s on a trial basis.“Kyle’s been back for over a week now, and he’s sleeping in a separate bed on the third floor of the house.“Annie is determined to do what she thinks is best for her kids.”READ MORE FEATURESBut patching things up between the pair is going to be extremely hard, warns relationship expert Jo Hemmings. “This situation has been a rather excessive love triangle as he’s had an affair twice with the same woman,” she said. “Making things work after getting back together once is hard, but doing it a second time reduces the chances of it working even further.“But it is possible with work from both parties.”Most read in FootballHere, Jo gives her no-nonsense rules for the couple to have the best chance of a successful marriage after Kyle’s infidelities.Turn off the TVKyle’s former mistress Lauryn Goodman, 33, is currently appearing on Celebs Go Dating, which is sure to make things harder for Annie and Kyle as they make a go of their marriage.Lauryn Goodman breaks down in tears as she describes Kyle Walker drama as ‘going to war’Lauryn is still wearing a necklace embalzoned with Kyle’s initialsCredit: RexShe’s been breaking down in tears on the E4 dating showCredit: Channel 4Jo said: “They need to avoid watching Celebs Go Dating, no matter how tempting it might be.“Lauryn is wearing a necklace with KW engraved on it, which suggests that she isn’t over Kyle.“It’s not something either of them need to see while mending fences. “It could make Annie want to fight for her man if she sees Lauryn’s behaviour, but I would just recommend they don’t watch it. Especially Annie.”Spice up sex lifeThe couple share four children and have been together since they were 16 years oldCredit: AFP or LicensorsSince returning to the family home earlier this month, Kyle has been sleeping in a separate bedroom to Annie, which is also on a different floor of the house. But if they want to make this reconciliation work and go the distance, they need to bring back intimacy into their relationship.Jo said: “They 100 per cent need to work on their intimacy if things are going to work out. “But he’ll need to behave scrupulously well before Annie is likely to even consider letting him back into her bedroom again.“To start working on it, they need to spend time together one on one. Starting with dedicated date nights is a good idea. “If they’re not having a full, proper relationship, then it won’t work.“It also means he’ll be more likely to stray again, be it to Lauryn or someone else.”Couples counsellingJo’s top recommendation for Kyle and Annie is to get in touch with a couple’s counsellor and book in session to work through their issues. She said: “I can’t see them working this out without getting external help. Their relationship is so fragile at this point.“This is a very messy situation and they are going to need structure and external advice from someone who is neutral and will listen without judgement to get their relationship back on track. “Part of that counselling will require full candour from Kyle. He needs to be honest about what has happened and why he strayed.“Thrashing it out in private during a couple’s session is a great way to work through their issues, away from their young children.”Drop the pastAnnie needs to accept the children Kyle has with LaurynCredit: INSTAGRAMOne of the hardest things to do for any couple that has gone through issues is to leave the past behind. Jo reckons this is absolutely vital for Kyle and Annie to make their relationship work.“They do initially need to have conversations about what has happened in the past with Lauryn and properly wring everything out,” Jo said. “But once that is done, they need to focus on what their future can be like. “They’ve already got four children together, so they’ve got a good reason to try.“But having another baby to bring them closer won’t work. This is more about looking at what their life could be like if things work out. “They need to make plans to help them move forward, rather than constantly looking back.” Accept the kidsKyle’s betrayals have been made very clear with the two children he’s fathered with Lauryn.While this may be a painful reminder for Annie, Jo says she needs to accept they exist and aren’t at fault. “These children are innocent at the end of the day, and they deserve to know their father,” she said. “While their existence is likely to be painful to Annie and a constant reminder of his betrayal, I am sure she would want him to be a good father to all his children.“That said, I imagine for now she’ll want things reasonably restricted because of Lauryn and I can’t see them going away as a blended family any time soon. “But accepting the children as part of life is a step towards things being easier.”Annie makes the rulesKyle needs to understand he has betrayed his wife’s trust and needs to follow her leadKyle has shattered his wife’s trust by straying not once, but twice, with the same woman. As a result, Jo says he needs to accept that Annie will rule their house, and he has to prove his trustworthiness to her. “Annie is going to struggle to trust Kyle, and that means he has to prove himself to her in any way possible,” she told The Sun. “So if she wants to know where he is and have access to his phone, he needs to give her that while they rebuild. “If he feels like it’s ridiculous and an invasion of his privacy, then he probably isn’t really up for repairing things. “A lot of making this work is based on him being willing to be honest. He has got to play by Annie’s rules if he wants to make this work.”Grow up The couple need to rediscover their romantic sideCredit: Tim StewartJo reckons that Kyle’s infidelities are a result of him not being mature enough to handle being a father and a husband. In order to make things work with Annie, he needs to start growing up. “Kyle has got a lot of growing up to do emotionally,” she said. “He’s not the first Premier League footballer to stray, and won’t be the last.

The pair start dating shortly after.2013 – Annie and Kyle welcome the birth of their first son, Roman, 11. 2016 – Rumours first arise of Kyle’s bad behaviour when he was caught messaging Playboy model Carla Howe.

      Former Premier League captain cuts all ties with his father as he says ‘he did horrible things to people I love’

      SHEFFIELD UNITED star Anel Ahmedhodzic has cut all ties with his father – claiming he has done “horrible things to people I love”.The defender’s allegations are the latest twist in a sad saga which also saw him withdraw from duty with Bosnia and quit international football.Anel Ahmedhodzic’s exit from Bosnia duty spilled into allegationsCredit: RexAhmedhodzic has won 24 Bosnia caps but suggested he’s had enoughCredit: GettyAhmedhodzic says he has reluctantly gone public after dad Mirsad alleged he was “under the influence of his wife and mother-in-law”.His father had earlier revealed he “did not consider” the 25-year-old his son “anymore” – suggesting he had been turned off his country by “bad people”.The former Blades’ skipper, whose club lost their Premier League spot last season, responded by accusing his dad of “manipulation, lies, scams and almost daily bullying”.The ex-Nottingham Forest man was “insulted” too by a claim his wife had “cast black magic” on him.READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWSAhmedhodzic explained he’d received hundreds of messages abusing him and his family after he pulled out of Nations League action.He blamed an injury, poor medical treatment and misinformation for his latest problems on international duty.Now Ahmedhodzic has spoken out on issues with his dad as “things can no longer be ignored”.In a statement shared by Balkan cable TV station N1, he said: “The only thing anyone wants from their father as a son is support and pride. Unfortunately, I got very little of that.Most read in Football”What I got most of the time was manipulation, lies, scams and almost daily bullying. “This is the type of man who shows his ‘power’ over women, but has never had the guts to stand up to another man.”Inside Angel Gomes’ rise from Man Utd wonderkid to England starAhmedhodzic added he had a “very good relationship with my mother” and supports her “financially”.He continued: “So when he [his father] says that I don’t care about my parents, it’s a complete lie. That’s not a man. “He goes after people I care about every time there’s a problem.  “He did horrible things to people I love but I don’t want to talk about that here. “There are so many reasons why I cut off contact with him. You will say ‘but he is your father, life is short’.”Trust me, I’ve tried many times to fix things, to forget what he did and every time I fix things, we end up back at the beginning and he doesn’t change at all, not even a little bit.”There have been many occasions when he has publicly insulted me since I married my wife, which he only does to make me angry and get a reaction from me.”Ahmedhodzic also reckoned his dad had “spoiled my reputation in England” with “completely untrue” statements that he “wanted to leave” the Blades. He insisted: “This is the city and the club that gave me the best memories of my life, including the birth of my son.”The Sweden-born ace, who joined United from Malmo two years later, also fiercely defended his partner.He said: “Saying my wife cast black magic on me is very insulting to me and especially to my wife because she is awesome.”It is very hard to find a woman who will take care of you like she does and I am very lucky that my son has such an amazing mother. Ahmedhodzic saw the Blades drop to the Championship this seasonCredit: Alamy”And then say that he doesn’t let me go to national team matches? It’s ridiculous.””She never missed a match, even when she was nine months’ pregnant… She is my biggest supporter and to say she won’t let me go is stupid, but what do you expect from a narcissist?”I am very disappointed, but not surprised that it has come to this. “I never wanted it to be public, but when you have a father who is actively trying to control you, push you down, and hurt your reputation, I had to do it.”Ahmedhodzic’s dad had earlier said: “No one is a better friend to my son than his parents, but when he listens to the wrong people, what happens to him happens.”That’s not my son anymore, I don’t consider him my son anymore. I wish him well. The best. “I fought the whole war, I was wounded three times. I wanted my son to play for the country that I created with my own blood, but he was turned away by bad people who think only of self-interest.” Ahmedhodzic Senior also suggested his son’s wife and her family had tried to separate Anel from his parents.He added: “I hid my feelings when they asked me how Anela was doing, I hid everything inside me.”It was difficult for me to answer the truth, I always said ‘he’s doing well, we talk to each other, etc.. I defended him. READ MORE SUN STORIES”I thought he would understand, forgive himself, but nothing works.
