Graeme Sharp
Sharpie remembers once again that fabulous goal he scored at Anfield to win the derby - I was on the Kop and can still see it flying past Bruce Grobelaar while Mark Lawrenson can only watch in admiration

Black Bear, near Banff, Alberta, Canada
We are in Banff on phase one of our Canada trip, which will take us up the Icefield Parkway to Jasper, across to Whistler via Clearwater, then on to Vancouver Island and Vancouver. Driving back to Banff from Lake Louise along the more scenic Bow Valley Parkway, we see a black bear gathering berries just off the roadside.

Simon Kirwan Wins TUC Photo Competition With BT Convention Centre Liverpool Snap
Award-winning Liverpool photographer Simon Kirwan has been awarded first prize in the TUC Liverpool Working Lives photo competition, the TUC’s first element of their programme of events to mark Liverpool’s status as 2008 European Capital of Culture.
With 2008 being Liverpool’s year as European Capital of Culture, the TUC invited both amateur and professional photographers to display their own images of working life in the city. The panel judging the competition consisted of Alan Manning, Regional Secretary of the NW TUC, Anne Thornton, Arts-Coordinator at the NW TUC and Eddie Barford, Deputy Picture Editor at the Liverpool Daily Post and Echo, and member of the NUJ, whose Merseyside branch partly sponsored the competition. The photos were judged on the interpretation of the competition’s theme in terms of creativity, atmosphere, originality and impact and also on their composition, focus, lighting, use of colour and exposure.
Anne Thornton, Arts Co-ordinator at the NW TUC said: “We have been extremely impressed by the high standard of pictures submitted to our competition by professionals and amateurs alike. Liverpool’s workers have created a unique photographic record of Liverpool working lives and of how they see their city during 2008, Capital of Culture year. The exhibition will be an opportunity for the public to see the best of the photographs and will be a showcase for the photographers themselves.”
Alan Manning, the TUC’s North West Regional Secretary, said that the competition and the website were an enjoyable way of highlighting working life in Liverpool while the city is in the international spotlight.
He added: “We want to celebrate the contribution of working people to this city and its culture. We are kicking off with a project that is aimed at showing Liverpool at work that is created by Liverpool’s workers. At the end of the competition, we will have an exhibition that we will tour around the region, from the city centre through to Kirkby and Bootle. Liverpool workers will have created a unique photographic record of Liverpool working lives.’’
Normally photographing stars performing on stage like Ringo Starr, Torvill & Dean, Duran Duran, Westlife, Sugababes, Meat Loaf and Paul Simon, resident photographer at Echo Arena Liverpool and BT Convention Centre Liverpool, and NUJ member Simon Kirwan captured his prize-winning picture in the kitchens at an awards dinner at the BT Convention Centre, depicting a team of chefs preparing dinner for delegates.
