      I was the tallest player in the Football League and a star with Birmingham… now I fight crime & gangsters in Canada

      by

      THE ONCE former tallest player in the Football League now has a very different career fighting gangsters in Canada.The towering 6ft 7in striker became a firm favourite with the likes of Birmingham City and Stockport County back in his heyday.

      He is now fighting mobsters for the Calgary Police Force
      He is now loving life as part of the Calgary Police Force.
      The man we are talking about is, of course, the legendary Kevin Francis.
      The 55-year-old was plucked from non-league Mile Oak Rovers by Derby County in 1989 but after just 17 appearances he was off to begin his journey into football folklore when joining Stockport County two years later.
      Francis was spotted playing for the Rams’ reserve side by then County manager Danny Bergara, who claimed he instantly wanted to sign him.

      The big man scored five to help them seal automatic promotion as runners-up in the old Division Four and then hit 26 the following season to help the club reach Wembley twice, although they lost both times.
      But his hot-streak continued the following year with 33 goals as another Wembley appearance came along – but once again it was disappointment in store in the final of the Autoglass Shield.
      Undeterred, he found the net another 30 times the next season, and there was another Wembley defeat, as the big clubs began circling.
      He still managed another 13 goals for Stockport in the 1994/95 season before his hometown team Birmingham City swooped to sign him in January for £800,000.

      And he could not have gotten off to a better start for the Blues as this time he enjoyed Wembley glory in the Football League Trophy against Carlisle.
      And then he followed that up by helping them finish as champions of Division Two with eight goals.
      He stayed at Birmingham for two more seasons in what is now the Championship but began to struggle with injuries, although he did play a key role in their run to the League Cup semi-finals in 1996.
      Francis left Birmingham in 1998 to join Oxford United, scoring eight in 40 appearances, prior to a brief return to Stockport in 2000.
      But he suffered a broken leg on just his fourth appearance and was released at the end of the season.
      However, despite that sad end to his time with the club, he was still named “County Player of the Century” in 2002.
      Short spells with Exeter City and Hull City followed before he bowed out of the Football League to sign for Hednesford Town which was followed by stints with Redditch United and Studley prior to retirement in 2005.
      Francis also enjoyed a taste of the international scene, winning two caps for Saint Kitts & Nevis after qualifying through his parents.

      But any thoughts of coaching soon evaporated once he had retired as he embarked on a whole new journey in Canada.
      After briefly coaching Birmingham City Ladies on a part-time basis, he landed a truck-driving job across the pond for a company in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains in Calgary.
      Francis, wife Sharon and one of his daughters Keisha went with him while his other girl, Stacey, stayed in the UK to focus on her netball career – a decision that paid off for the now 35-year-old England international star who helped Team GB secure bronze at 2010 Commonwealth Games.
      Eventually, with trips sometimes lasting up to ten days on Canada’s hazardous roads, in 2009 he joined the Calgary Police Force after looking for a another new venture.
      He currently serves on the Gang Suppression Team, which is devoted to monitoring and investigating local criminal groups, and it is as terrifying as it sounds – although he is still producing award-winning displays.
      Speaking to The Athletic, Francis said: “There was one incident at a club. 
      “We were about to do a walk-through and, in certain places, we all go in together. Strength in numbers.
      “It was a cold night but we had the windows down and were waiting for one of the other cars to turn up when we heard the gunshots and the range. It’s a very different sound in the night air.
      “We looked at each other and sprang into action. You don’t think about it. Guns out, we ran across the street just as our other unit was coming around the corner.
      “The shooter was outside and his gun must have jammed. One of the doormen grabbed him and wrestled him to the ground.
      “I got a hold of the guy and got the gun from him but there was pandemonium because people were saying another shooter was inside. And the hardest thing for me was staying there on my own and not being able to go in with the rest of the boys to clear the bar.

      “Because we train as a team, we go in together. Obviously, the guy needed to be subdued and that was my job but it was still tough.
      “We apprehended an accomplice too, who was waiting in a car and ready to drive off. One guy — a completely innocent bystander — got hit inside the bar but survived and we ended up getting a police award for our efforts that night, which was pretty cool.”
      He initially moved to Canada to become a truck driver but joined the police in 2009Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd

      Rangers v Celtic Women’s clash ‘headbutt’ being investigated by police

      by

      POLICE have opened an investigation into the trouble which flared at the end of last night’s Rangers Women vs Celtic Women clash. Footage appeared to show Hoops head coach Fran Alonso being headbutted by a Rangers assistant coach Craig McPherson at the end of the match, which ended 1-1.
      The footage showed the incident at the end of the match
      A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We have received a report regarding an incident at Broadwood Stadium on the evening of Monday, 27 March, 2023.
      “Enquiries to establish any criminality are at an early stage.”
      Throwing the behaviour of the travelling Celtic fans who showered ex-Rangers boss Steven Gerrard with missiles as he scored for Liverpool Legends against Celtic Legends in a charity match into the mix, former Rangers boss said it “hasn’t been the greatest couple of days for Rangers and Celtic”.
      McCoist, of course, is no stranger to being at the sharp end of these Old Firm controversies, with his bust-up with Neil Lennon at the end of an Old Firm clash leading to a government summit.

      Asked by co-host TalkSPORT co-host Laura Woods if McPherson’s behaviour was acceptable, he said: “I have only just seen it. It’s really, really poor.
      “With the greatest of respect, it’s not been a great two or three days for Rangers and Celtic, with what happened at the weekend and what happened last night.”
      It looked like Rangers were taking the three points from the fixture after Brogan Hay fired her side ahead in the first half.
      But Celtic star Caitlyn Hayes scored a dramatic equaliser in the NINTH minute of stoppage time to level the scoring and to secure a point for the Hoops.

      I feared my kids would grow up without their dad as robber pointed gun at me, reveals Amir Khan

      by

      BOXER Amir Khan has told of his gun robbery terror and said: “I feared my kids would grow up without their dad.”The former world champ, 36, handed over his £72,000 watch at gunpoint in London.

      Masked gunman Dante Campbell jumped out of a silver Mercedes, pointed the weapon in Amir’s face and shouted: ‘Take off the watch!’
      Wife Faryal, who was with him, said: “I thought we were both going to die.”
      Victim Amir Khan revealed how he turned his head in terror during his gunpoint ordeal so he would not see the bullet coming.
      The boxer had left a restaurant with wife Faryal when a gang pulled up in a Merc, pointed the weapon in his face and demanded his watch.
      Amir’s light-welterweight reflexes kicked in as he feared the gunman would pull the trigger.

      Speaking exclusively to The Sun on Sunday, he revealed: “In that moment, you think the worst . . . that the kids could be growing up without their dad, that Faryal would be raising them on her own.
      “Your life flashes before your eyes. I leant my head to the right because I thought, if he is going to shoot me, he can shoot the side of my head. I don’t want to see the bullet coming.”
      Amir handed over a £72,000 diamond-encrusted watch he’d bought to celebrate winning a fight.
      Terrified Faryal, 31, ran into the road and screamed for help.
      Most read in Boxing
      The robbers fled in their car and the timepiece has not been found.
      Faryal yesterday said she feared the couple were the target of an organised hit, saying: “I thought we were going to die on the spot.”
      The couple now feel the “England we love isn’t a safe place any more” so spend more time at their home in Dubai.
      Two men admitted involvement in the robbery, on April 18 last year.
      On Friday two others were found not guilty of acting as spotters.
      Amir and Faryal had been for dinner with pal Omar Khalid at the Sahara Grill in Leyton, East London.
      The boxer posed for selfies with fans and CCTV showed him leaving at 9.10pm.
      As the couple walked to their car, masked gunman Dante Campbell, 20, jumped out of a silver Mercedes coupe, pointed the weapon in Amir’s face and shouted: “Take off the watch!”
      Amir, who is dad to Lamaisah, eight, Alayna, four, and Muhammad Zaviyar, three, recalled yesterday: “It was the first time I’ve ever seen a gun in my life. I could see down the barrel.
      “I remember looking back seeing where my wife was. She ran back on the road and screamed ‘help!’
      “At the time, I didn’t know what he wanted. I thought maybe this is a prank. I just took off the watch, he grabbed it.”
      Amir had earlier been shopping in Knightsbridge while Faryal was at a photoshoot.

      They visited the restaurant during Ramadan as it serves halal steak, and spent around an hour eating and taking snaps with fans.
      Recalling the ordeal, Amir said: “Faryal ran back on to the road and I just froze.
      “Normally she walks in front of me so I know she’s safe.
      “But for some reason she didn’t that night — which looking back is a good thing.
      “The gunman told me to take off the watch so I did and he grabbed it. I was shaken up.
      “It happened so fast, it registered with me a day after. It makes you think, life is very short.
      “People said after, ‘You should’ve fought them’. Are they stupid? I’ve got a family. It’s only a watch. My life means more to me.
      “When you have kids, you have a priority to make sure they are looked after. I am the breadwinner for the family. If I was with the kids, I don’t know what I would’ve done. Maybe I would have panicked and tried to run.”
      Amir added: “Someone called the police. It caused a big scene and people recognised me.
      “I felt quite embarrassed it had happened to me, that I’d just been robbed at gunpoint.
      “I got into Omar’s car and we drove around the corner because I didn’t want to be around the area.
      “I did a 30-minute interview in the police car. I told them what happened, how it happened.”
      Amir and Faryal then returned to their room at the May Fair Hotel in central London, where she was in floods of tears.
      The boxer added: “I could feel how scared Faryal was. I sat with her and told her it’s fine, the watch is materialistic.
      “She said, ‘What if the kids were with us? What if they shot you and killed you? The kids love you so much, you’re a good father to them, they would miss you so much’.

      “I had the worst sleep that night. It was like the sleep I have the day before a fight. I was very uneasy.”
      Yesterday Amir was revealed to be a star of next month’s I’m A Celebrity South African special — after a stint on the show in 2017.
      He retired from boxing last year having won 34 of 40 fights, 21 by knockout, and with a silver medal for Great Britain at the 2004 Olympics in Athens.
      He is now based in Dubai but returns to England once a month for a week for charity and TV work.
      Since the attack he pays £600 a day on security in the UK.
      Bolton-born Amir said: “The UK isn’t a safe place any more.
      “It’s like living in Mexico. I don’t feel comfortable. I love England. I won a medal for the country but I stay in Dubai now because it’s the only place I feel safe. I’ve had my career, won my fights, got money. I just want to be safe.”
      Amir also blasted London’s Labour mayor Sadiq Khan, saying: “Since he has been in power, London has got so dangerous. He needs to pull his finger out and do something about it.”
      Speaking about the impact of the robbery, he added: “Faryal always says ‘Don’t go out on your own’.
      “She’s always on my back saying, ‘Make sure you take your security with you’.
      “A couple of months after the robbery, I remember walking outside Harrods.
      “It was about 5pm or 6pm, and I had a bag with a T-shirt in. I thought, ‘Oh s**t, it’s not safe for me to walk’.
      “A guy asked me for a picture, and I’m always happy to do that, but I felt very uneasy.”
      Amir had bought the stolen watch — a Franck Muller Vanguard Chronograph — after his December 2014 victory over American welterweight Devon Alexander in Las Vegas.
      Amir said: “I always buy a watch after a fight. It was quite sentimental. I got it after I won to treat myself.”

      Recalling the ordeal, Amir said: ‘Faryal ran back on to the road and I just froze’
      Two weeks before the robbery he stopped paying £15,000 a year insurance for around £600,000 worth of watches.
      He had been paying the premium for ten years but felt safe having never been targeted before.
      Faryal, who married Amir in 2013, said of the ordeal: “I saw a really tall guy like hugging Amir.
      “Amir seemed to be laughing, I think he thought it was a fan.
      “Suddenly I saw a gun . . . I was on the phone to my best friend and just started screaming ‘help, help, help!’
      “I ran into the road as I thought I’d rather get hit by a car than shot. At the time, I thought ­someone had set us up. That they’ve come to shoot me and Amir. I thought, ‘Does Amir have any enemies?’
      “I was worried that while I’m running someone is going to shoot me from the back. It was really, really scary.”
      Faryal added: “I would lie awake at night thinking, ‘What if we both got killed?’ It took me a good few months to get over it.
      “After the incident, we sorted out our wills and a trust for the kids. It was a big wake-up call.”
      She said it brought her and Amir closer.
      She said: “It hit me that I could’ve lost Amir.
      “It makes you appreciate each other a lot more.
      Read More on The Sun
      “He’s the love of my life, my husband, the father of my children.
      “If I lost him, I don’t think I could ever recover from that.”
      Cops hunt suspects
      POLICE sought help to find suspect Hamza Kulane who they want to quiz over the raid.
      Alleged spotters Nurul Amin, 25, and Ismail Mohamed, 24, were cleared of conspiracy to rob on Friday after a two-week trial.
      Gunman Dante Campbell, 20, and crony Ahmed Bana, 25, have admitted conspiracy to rob and possessing an imitation firearm.
      They will be sentenced later.
      Jurors were shown CCTV film of Amir’s ordeal.
      He told Snaresbrook crown court: “I’m a sportsman, a fighter. I’ve been in the toughest situations but this is something different. This is really scary.” More

      Goalie, 38, who ordered vile murder of his mistress gets signed by new football club

      by

      A GOALKEEPER who was convicted for his part in a sick plot to murder his mistress has been signed by a new football club.Brazilian goalie Bruno Fernandes de Souza, 38, was sentenced to 22 years behind bars after he confessed to ordering the killing of his girlfriend whose body was cut up and fed to a pack of Rottweilers.

      The former actress had been tortured and strangled by a gang
      Actress and model Eliza Samudio, 25, was kidnapped and murdered by a gang in June 2010.
      She was tortured and beaten before being strangled and killed.
      Bruno Fernandes – who had an affair with Eliza and a son, followed by a paternity and child support lawsuit – later confessed to organising the sick plot.
      He was sentenced to 22 years in jail in March 2013 after a court found him guilty of ordering the model’s murder.
      read more on football
      In January this year, a court granted parole to Bruno, under the condition he presents himself at the Penitentiary Administration Secretariat of Rio de Janeiro every three months.
      And earlier this week, Orion Futebol Clube announced it snapped the footballer who was previously in Atletico Mineiro, Corinthians, and Flamengo.
      The club, which will compete in the Super Copa Pioneer this year, wrote: “Backup for the position, welcome!”
      Orion is the seventh team to have signed Bruno since 2017, when he was granted habeas corpus before being ordered to return to jail three months later.
      Most read in Football
      Bruno’s last team was Atletico Carioca in Sao Goncalo, Rio de Janeiro State.
      Despite being married with two daughters, the footballer would often attend marathon 24-hour sex parties- in one of which he met Eliza in May 2009.
      They started a relationship but three months later Eliza became pregnant.
      During her pregnancy she went to the police, claiming she had been kidnapped by two of Bruno’s friends who forced her to take an illegal drug that would induce miscarriage.
      The drug did not work and in ­February 2010 she gave birth to Bruninho — which translates as “Little Bruno”.
      After the baby’s birth, she was lured into a car on the promise that Bruno would give her an apartment and all the maintenance pay she wanted but she was driven with her baby to Bruno’s house instead.

      There she was strapped to a chair and beaten for six days by a gang that included Bruno’s wife, another ­former lover, his teenage cousin and a former police officer, Marcos Santos.
      Eliza was tortured as loud music was blasting before she was eventually strangled in front of her son.
      Her disappearance sparked a massive police investigation but the truth came to light when one of Bruno’s co-conspirators-his teenage cousin- confessed everything. 
      Although he initially denied any involvement, Bruno finally broke down in court and confessed to his part in the plot.
      He claimed he had not made the order to kill Eliza but had “accepted” it and knew she had been killed.
      He was sentenced to 22 years in prison after the judge said he had “meticulously calculated” the execution.
      His closed prison sentence was converted to a semi-open prison sentence in July 2019.
      In a semi-open prison regime, prisoners are allowed to work outside the prison during the day, but they must return to the prison each night.

      The mum, married to welterweight champ Conor, said the robber left empty-handed and thankfully neither she or Eli were hurt.
      Describing the horror on her YouTube channel, Victoria said she was eating her dinner on Sunday evening when she heard a noise.
      The mum added: “I thought ‘There’s no way that could have been a breeze’.
      “I walked out to the hallway and I found a man on the stairs, it was probably the most scariest thing that has ever happened to me.”

      Victoria explained she “lost it” after finding the intruder and began “screaming and swearing at him”.
      The mum said: “I cannot explain the feeling that took over me, it makes me want to be sick.
      “When you’re going towards that noise and then seeing someone in your house.”
      She said her phone was charging in the bedroom so she couldn’t get help straightaway as she did not want to leave Eli alone.

      Eventually she managed to raise the alarm with her neighbours and the man left without taking anything.
      Victoria believes the thief was watching the house as Conor – son of ring legend Nigel Benn – had left 30 minutes before he broke in.
      She has slammed the “disgusting” robber for their “audacity” at targeting her while she was home alone.
      But she thanked Essex Police for their help since the break-in and confirmed there is now extra security at their home.
      Victoria added: “How horrible it is to know your house broken into. When I’m now home alone without Conor it’s not a nice feeling at all and it made me feel very vulnerable.
      “Now I have that fear when I’m home alone with Eli that anything can happen. To go through that was honestly the most scariest moment of my life.”
      It comes after Conor revealed this month he wanted to kill himself after being accused of taking a banned testosterone-boosting drug
      The boxer told Piers Morgan that he suffered night terrors and panic attacks in the wake of the drugs tests last autumn.
      And in Piers Morgan Uncensored, Benn also revealed he wants to sue British boxing’s governing body for loss of earnings and damage to his reputation.
