Editorial
Don’t shoot the messenger
V
ideo footage of immigration officers being run out of Peckham went viral online this week, showing just how divisive this issue is.
Immigration was considered as important as health to voters coming up to the election last month with the two issues being linked by both sides of the debate – one side saying our health service only runs because of the hard working immigrants who staff it and the other saying foreign patients are a drain on our limited resources. In the heart of multi-cultural Peckham, immigration isn’t a statistic it’s the living breathing people who run the shops, cook the food and go to work so it’s not surprising the sight of immigration enforcement officers would spark such a reaction. But shooting the messenger is surely not the answer. Immigration officers are just doing their jobs as instructed by the government voted in by the people of this country - a large proportion of whom are concerned, rightly or wrongly, about the impact of immigration. To put a stop to raids down Rye Lane, we need to have an open national debate about the truth of immigration in this country, away from the hysterical headlines so neither the people of Peckham nor the immigration officers become ‘the enemy’ while both parties are just trying to do their jobs.

Vic’s final class
he News was delighted to be invited by St Joseph’s School in Rotherhithe to attend a special talk given by 91-year-old Vic Farmer last week.
He spoke to a Year six class with honesty and humour about his time teaching at the school from 1948 to 1982, as well as about his experience as a RAF navigator during WW2. On the 70th anniversary of VE Day, it is more important than ever to remember the sacrifices made by Vic’s generation - but we should also appreciate the positive impact that caring, passionate teachers like him can have on generations of the borough’s schoolchildren.

Lessons learnt
hese days the news seems filled with stories of failing hospitals and uncaring nurses, but most of us thankfully have a positive experience of our world-leading health service.
An inquest last week heard how the sad death of pensioner George Robson at King’s in October 2012 was possibly preventable if he had been prescribed a different combination of drugs during his recovery from brain surgery. Though his wife Margaret will never get George back, her fight to bring the details of his case to light and King’s willingness to admit “shortcomings in the care and treatment her husband” has led to a change in the way their medicines are administered and reviewed and will hopefully improve the service to prevent the same thing happening again.

DISGUST AT RACIST GRAFFITI HERNE HILL
WALWORTH
By Joey Millar
joey@southwarknews.co.uk
HERNE HILL business owners were left ‘sad and disgusted’ this week when racist graffiti was spraypainted in two-foot high letters across the front wall of a jazz bar.
On Monday morning, a message reading ‘No n*****s’ was discovered covering the entire front wall of Dee Dee’s Jazz and Funk bar in Herne Hill Road. Owner Elijah Taylor said: “I don’t understand it. I used to think that racists were just ignorant, but the person who did this purposefully went out, bought spray paint and decided to write this racist hatred on the wall. “It’s such a shame. I had a woman come in after her kid had seen it. She said that after seeing the graffiti her daughter said ‘Mum, I don’t want to live here anymore’. Imagine having your daughter say that to you after living here all your life?” Elijah feels that the message represents everything he and his establishment stand against. He said: “Every Wednesday we have a ‘Platform’ event, where anyone and everyone can get up and perform. Poetry, music, comedy... it doesn’t matter. It’s all about coming together and being a community – the person who wrote that graffiti completely contradicts this.
Racist graffiti, which the News has deliberately blurred
“I’m black but most of my customers are white. If people have a problem with me, I would much prefer it if they said it to me personally. Talk to me! It’s better than this cowardice, better than hiding behind walls.” Ragz-CV, who runs an event for the area’s young people at the bar every Tuesday, was equally shocked by the vile message. The Poetic Unity founder said: “It’s sad that in 2015, in south London, the
most multicultural part of the most multicultural city in the country, this can happen. I’m sad that someone would stoop to this.” The graffiti was removed on Tuesday after police were informed and photographic evidence was taken. No arrests have been made and enquiries continue. If you have any information, please call Southwark CID on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously at 0800 555 111.

SAY SORRY FOR COURT ACTION SAYS RESIDENT EXCLUSIVE
By Amelia Burr amelia@southwarknews.co.uk A PINT-sized protestor is demanding an apology from Southwark Council after she says she was made to feel like a criminal for campaigning to save her home from demolition.
After a run-in with a security guard stationed outside the Aylesbury Estate, where Victoria Briden has lived for 21 years, the 53-year-old was charged with criminal damage, forcing her to get a solicitor and appear in court. Following a march to ‘fight for the Aylesbury’ on April 2, Victoria was waiting for some friends in Portland Street when she says a “massive, burly” 6’5 security guard put his phone in her face to take a picture saying ‘I know you’. Victoria says as she went to brush his hand away from her face, his phone dropped to the floor, at which point a police officer asked if the guard would like to press charges for criminal damage. Victoria was arrested and taken to Walworth nick where she says she was “treated like a criminal, like I’d killed someone.” She was acquitted on Thursday last week at Greenwich Magistrate’s Court and is now demanding an apology from Southwark Council who contracted the

security firm guarding the estate, earmarked for demolition. “I felt very intimidated by him. It’s not his job to intimidate people,” she said. “He’s a big guy and I’m this middleaged, tiny lady.” In addition to the stress of going through a court case, Victoria is also out of pocket after shelling out close to a grand for legal representation. “And how much do the tax payers have to pay for this? It’s a waste of time and money,” she said. Cllr Mark Williams, Southwark’s cabinet member for regeneration and new homes, said: “We were not involved in any court action taken against Ms Briden and can’t speak for the police, who made the arrest. “We take any complaints against our staff or contractors seriously, if Ms Briden makes a formal complaint we will investigate.” The fencing and 24-hour security gates erected around half-empty blocks on the Aylesbury came under fire earlier this year from residents who said it made their home feel like a prison. After a review of the security arrangements, Cllr Williams has confirmed that a 24 hour gate will remain by the Chartridge block but says an additional gate is being considered. “We are working through the details and costs of how an additional gate can be opened. Whatever is decided, the council will continue to review the position on a regular basis,” he said.
LAST WEEK our front page story stated that James Addis of Stanbury Road, Peckham, had pocketed £38,000 he originally collected for Help for Heroes.
After going to press, the News received information confirming Addis had only admitted to, and been found guilty of, keeping £8,000 to £10,000 of the £39,892.62 he had raised for the charity.

BARBER ATTACKED WITH GUN

Police still hunting gunman after assault in Bermondsey shop By Joey Millar
joey@southwarknews.co.uk
A BARBER in Bermondsey was allegedly attacked by a handgun-wielding man last Wednesday.
Police at the scene in Southwark Park Road
Police said a man entered Brother’s Barbers in Southwark Park Road shortly before 6.30pm and threatened the owner with a handgun. He then hit the victim over the head with the weapon and left the shop. The road was busy at the time of the attack and a large crowd, including children, formed soon after as police arrived and sealed off the scene. Michael Southion said: “I
was walking by after it happened and saw a lot of police and onlookers. There were a lot of kids nearby and everyone was talking about what had happened.” The attack came around two weeks after a woman was shot outside a different barber’s in Rotherhithe New Road. While investigating officers are aware of the two gun-related crimes, they are not treating them as related and are pursuing separate enquiries. No arrests have been made and investigations are ongoing. Police are appealing for witnesses and information. Please contact Southwark CID on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously at 0800 555 111.

A LEGENDARY Millwall fan was honoured on Saturday with a tribute night which raised hundreds in his memory.
‘Tiny’, who stood at well over six feet tall, went down in the Den’s history books for being a die-hard black Millwall supporter from the late 60s, defying the racist reputation of some of the fans at that time. For more than twenty years Tiny (real name Ian Garwood) was the ‘big daddy’ of the ground, keeping young
fans in line and watching out for the rest of the pride if any trouble flared up. When the private family man died from cancer in December 2012, he was given a ‘guard of honour’ by fans and players at the club, who lined the football ground in Zampa Road for his funeral procession. Now the next generation of fans is celebrating Tiny’s memory as a symbol of multi-racial Millwall. “Fans are always being portrayed as thugs and racists but I want to show a more positive side to Millwall,” said Quince Garcia (pictured above with
Peckham man charged after stabbing
PECKHAM: A man has been charged with GBH after a 21-year-old was hospitalised on Saturday morning.
The Police and ambulance service were called to reports of a man suffering from stab wounds in Peckham High Street at around 8.30am. The 21-year-old victim is thought to have made his way there from the scene of the incident in Peckham Road, near the junction with Southampton Way. Ismail Abdirashid, 30, of Consort Road, SE15, has been charged with GBH. The victim was taken to a south London hospital for treatment. He has since been discharged. A second man, aged 57, was also arrested as part of the investigation, but has since been released with no further action to be taken. Peckham Road was closed between Talford Road and Lyndhurst Way while the scene was dealt with and reopened just after 11:30am.

Quince, 36, himself a black Millwall fan raised £250 on the night by selling T-shirts and other merchandise bearing pictures of Tiny to fund youth workshops for disadvantaged young people run by his company Roadworks Media. The Camberwell-born entrepreneur has joined forces with Tiny’s family to celebrate his memory while raising money to help train young people and get them into work. “Our aim is to raise awareness for
what Tiny loved - being a part of Millwall F.C and being part of a community he had huge affection for,” said Quince. “We don’t want to glorify his past,” added Quince, who acknowledged Tiny did have a reputation for being able to handle himself in the ‘Camberwell Crew’. “It’s about what he represented, which was much more than that - he was able to break down those barriers,” he added. Fellow Millwall fan, Kevin Downey, 55, knew Tiny since the mid-seventies and said despite his name he was “larger than life”. “He was quite a

Flood-hit shops ‘open for business’ HERNE HILL: Dozens of banners have been erected across Herne Hill as the area celebrates finally getting back on its feet following the devastating floods of 2013.
A burst water main left 37 local businesses severely damaged, with some owners unsure whether their shops would ever be able to recover. Many were forced to close while intensive repair works took place, with renovation costs and loss of revenue hitting hard. Now, however, the shops have been repaired and reopened, with the 68 colourful banners highlighting how the area’s diverse, independent shopping scene has ‘bounced back’. Vicky Brown, owner of toy store Just Williams in the badly-hit Half Moon Lane, said: “We lost 75% of our stock - it was a very stressful period. It has taken us a good year to get our sales back to where we were and cash flow has been a huge problem.” “I am delighted that things are now looking up and I love the banners they are a great way of saying ‘we’re open for business’. I’m excited to see what else we can do to regenerate the area and make Herne Hill a real shopping destination.”

A YOUNG Bermondsey father has been overwhelmed by the support he has received since being diagnosed with terminal cancer in March, after generous residents donated thousands of pounds to help pay for ‘one final adventure’ with his little girl.
Twitter. Jack said he was ‘really pleased’ with the response but vowed to continue fundraising to make sure he could raise enough money to give his daughter a memory to last a lifetime. He said: “I know some of the people who have donated but I don’t know a lot of them. It’s nice that they’re donating without knowing me or Scarlett. I’m aiming to raise even more though, because the cost of travel insurance for cancer patients is so high.” His mother Veronica was also stunned by the response and praised her son’s bravery. She said: “It’s been really nice seeing everyone donate and attend
the fundraiser at the Ancient Foresters last week. “Jack is doing well but the chemotherapy is having an impact and he feels a bit sh*t. He is beginning an intensive five-day chemo session next Tuesday which will be really tough. It’s hard for him but he is being very strong.” Another special fundraiser will be held this evening, which the family hope will help bring their fundraising total closer to the £20,000 goal. As well as the holiday, donations will also go towards Scarlett’s future and to the University College London Hospitals. The fundraiser will take place at the
Bede House charity in Abbeyfield Road, where Jack used to attend a youth club as a child. The event kicks off at 5pm and ends at 7pm. A spokesperson for Bede House said: “We aim to showcase the artistic skills of young people who live in the area, bring together residents who live on the estates and partners who have a vested interest in community and to use the talent show to raise money for his twoyear-old daughter Scarlett.” Can you help Jack and Scarlett’s final wish come true? Please donate at www.gofundme.com/jackse16 or attend the special fundraiser tonight at the Bede Centre, Abbeyfield Road, SE16 2BS from 5pm to 7pm.
Jack Wells, 22, was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare bone disease. Doctors have told him that all they can do is delay the spread of the disease and help make him comfortable. As reported by the News earlier this month, despite his tragic situation Jack is thinking only of his little girl and is determined to give her the best life possible.

He said: “She doesn’t understand what is happening but while I’m still here I want to support her and make her happy. It would be amazing to take her to Florida for a dream holiday, to give her one last great memory.” Since May 4, over £3,600 has been donated to their dream holiday fund and his story has been shared hundreds of times on Facebook and L-R: Sister Becky, friend George Dearsley, mum Veronica Wells, Jack, and family friend Janet Kenna

BROKEN DOORS CAUSED 9 MONTHS OF ‘HELL’
BOROUGH
By Joey Millar
joey@southwarknews.co.uk
A BOROUGH resident is demanding compensation for residents of an entire block of flats after nine months of ‘hell’ caused by a broken security door.
The faulty door allowed rough sleepers, drug users and petty criminals to access the Jurston Court block of the Dodson and Amigo Estate, leaving many residents feeling unsafe in their own homes. Jacqueline Gilmartin, 57, who suffers from respiratory problems, told the News that the situation was ‘shocking.’ She said: “We have had people sleeping on camp-beds in the corridor and drug users gathering in the bin rooms. There are young families around here, kids and old people. They should be able to feel safe in their own homes. I have young grandchildren who I worry about when they come to visit.” Some doors were finally fixed after Southwark Council were contacted by the News, but other entrances still remain broken and open to all. Jacqueline said: “It shouldn’t have taken nine months for them to fix it. We have reported the issue and nothing was done. They seems to almost wait until something happens and they are forced to fix it. “Whenever they do actually come and fix a broken door, it breaks again a couple
of days later. We need new doors or a new security system, not just quick-fixes that don’t work anyway.” She added that she also felt that the estate’s location on the edge of the borough meant that the area was often ignored by the council. She said: “I have lived here for 44 years and this is a real bone of contention for residents. We’re so out of the way that we end up being ignored by the council and MPs.” She said that she wanted the council to reimburse all residents for the service charge they had been paying for security, and compensation for the stress and inconvenience. Cllr Richard Livingstone, Southwark cabinet member for housing, said: “We are aware of an intermittent fault that has been affecting the doors at Jurston House and we are about to consult with residents on proposals for a long term solution. “In the meantime repairs are being made as soon as they can be after they are reported - the most recent repair was first reported on 18 May and specialist repairs were made a couple of days later. I am sorry for the inconvenience and frustration residents may be feeling but I would ask that they bear with us while we try to find the best permanent solution to this issue.” Concerned resident Jaqueline Gilmartin by the damaged security door, inset.
Police arrest two in Ola Raji investigation

TWO WOMEN have been arrested in connection with the murder of 20year-old Ola Raji, (pictured right), who was shot dead in the street around the corner from his old youth club in Peckham on April 21.
The female suspects, both aged 20, were held in custody on Thursday following their arrests on suspicion of perverting the course of justice and have since been bailed. Detectives believe that on the night of the murder, Ola made his way onto East Surrey Grove riding a push-bike when he was confronted by two people who shot and stabbed him at around 10.30pm. When the police arrived they found the former Sacred Heart pupil in a critical condition and he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival at a central London hospital that night. A post-mortem examination revealed the cause of death was a single gunshot wound to the chest. Two men, aged 21 and 24, were arrested in connection with the incident last month, but were both bailed until a date in early June. Detective Chief Inspector Will Reynolds, from the Met's Homicide and Major Crime Command, said: “The investigating into Ola’s murder continues
and is moving at a fast pace. I would like to reiterate previous appeals for information and witnesses to come forward. “I do understand that some people may not wish to speak directly to police. In that event, I urge them to call the independent charity Crimestoppers. The Crimestoppers' guarantee of anonymity has never been broken and callers are not even asked for their name. “Any information that is provided to my officers will be treated in the strictest confidence. We know there were a number of people in East Surrey Grove at the time of the murder. I appeal for those people to help us by telling us what they know, either in person or anonymously through Crimestoppers. If you know something, please make the call.” Anyone with information is asked to call the incident room on 020 8721 4205 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

RAF navigator who became headteacher returned to school for 33 years after retirement By Joey Millar
joey@southwarknews.co.uk
THIRTY THREE years after retiring as head teacher, 91-yearold Vic Farmer returned to St Joseph’s Primary School in Rotherhithe to give enthralled students one final lesson last Wednesday.
But while he may have lost his hair and gained a walking stick since he hung up his mortarboard, Vic’s memory and wit have remained well and truly intact. He spoke to an engrossed class of Year 6 students about getting up to mischief during his 1920s childhood, braving WW2 bombs as both a civilian and a RAF navigator, and becoming a teacher at their school. “Do you know something?” he asked the class. “When I first began teaching I was a rotten teacher. But after a while I loved it and had a great deal of fun. I used to try to make the children laugh, to get them having fun while also learning at the same time. I always think that’s the best way to learn.” He put this into practice immediately, entertaining the crowd as he encouraged them to shout their questions – ‘I have old ears now’ – and reminiscing about trying to convince his old teacher that it was the answer book, and not his answers, that was wrong. His wartime stories were absorbing and the pupils did not hold back in their questioning. When one child asked whether he ever felt bad about killing people during bombing raids, he replied: “It wasn’t very nice doing it, but we weren’t trying to kill innocent people. We were trying to fight against the Nazis, about an idea.
“I feel privileged to have spent so long here and I am extremely proud to see, after all these years, the school still being run so well”

If they had won the war a lot of you would not be here. Isn’t that worth fighting for?” After the war, he began working as a teacher at St Joseph’s, then located at Paradise Street. He lived – and still lives – in Oxsted, Surrey, but chose the school so that he could move closer to
his late wife. He oversaw some dramatic changes at the school, from designing the colours of the school uniform, moving the school to the current site in Gomm Road and the gradual phasing-out of that old classroom punishment: the cane. “I didn’t like doing it, but I did
use it every now and then,” he admitted. Presented with an old ‘punishment book’ from his time as teacher, he read with amazement the names of old pupils and the classroom crimes they committed. “‘Murray, caning for damage to school property. Smith, caning for
repeated misbehaviour. O’Brien, caning for talking by the stairs...’ I did this?!” He proudly explained how the cane was slowly retired during his time at the school, and warned that ‘in the hands of a cruel teacher, the cane was a horrible thing.’
He ended his final lesson by congratulating the pupils on their intelligent questions and excellent behaviour. He added: “I feel privileged to have spent so long here and I am extremely proud to see, after all these years, the school still being run so well.”

Grateful courier to cycle hundreds of miles for Big Issue By Amelia Burr
Widow wants lessons learnt from damning inquest into King’s College hospital death A GRIEF-STRICKEN widow says she hopes lessons will be learned after a coroner found there had been neglect in the care and treatment her husband received at King’s College Hospital.

A BIKE courier who used to live on the streets is riding from London to Amsterdam in aid of the Big Issue Foundation who helped him turn his life around.
Dean Porter, 39, was homeless for around five years before selling the street paper helped him save enough money to get his motorbike license and become a courier so he could support himself. After moving into a flat on the Aylesbury, Dean secured two jobs and is now preparing to hit the road again, this time to raise money to help other vendors get back on their feet. In August Dean will complete the 100mile-long Ride London before setting off for Amsterdam in September when he will cycle 150 miles in two days. Dean once owned his own photography business, but like so many small businesses, folded under the pressure of mounting bills. “I tried to make it work,” said Dean, “but I wasn’t getting enough work and as a result I ended up on the streets. It was a difficult time.” “The Big Issue does amazing work with the homeless. They helped me get through a part of my life that was very difficult,” said Dean, who hopes his story will be a reminder to treat a homeless person as you

George Robson slipped in the garden at home and banged his head in October 2012. Two days later he started slurring his speech. He was rushed to the Princess Royal Hospital where a CT scan showed a brain haemorrhage. He was transferred to King’s College Hospital where he received life-saving surgery, but his reprieve was short-lived as a month later he died from a cardiac arrest. George, 75, was taking the drug Naproxen for arthritis pain, but always with food and another drug which protected him from side effects such as stomach bleeding. While he was recovering from his operation at King’s he continued to be prescribed Naproxen, but this time without the accompanying stomach protection drug and sometimes without food. An inquest at Southwark Coroner’s Court on May 21 heard that George died on December 4, 2012, of a gastrointestinal bleed from an ulcer he developed whilst a patient at King's after

being prescribed Naproxen for a period of a month without the appropriate stomach protection. The evidence given by witnesses highlighted how there was no routine in place for reviewing the drugs prescribed to patients which may have flagged up the situation before it was too late. A spokesperson for King’s College Hospital said the Trust had apologised to George’s widow, Margaret, for the “shortcomings in the care and treatment her husband received at King’s. “The care Mr Robson received following neurosurgery at the hospital fell below the high standards we set ourselves, and we recognise this was unacceptable. “Lessons have been learnt from this case, and we continue to make every effort to improve the safety of the services we provide. “We have since introduced a series of measures to improve the way in which medicines are administered and reviewed, and have updated and clarified our guidelines for gastric protection. “We are also seeking to introduce an

electronic prompt to ensure our clinical teams always consider whether gastric protection is required at the same time as Naproxen is prescribed,” added the spokesperson. Mrs Robson, of Croydon, said after the narrative verdict was given last week: “I can reassure myself that I have done all I can to find out what happened to George,” though she is still missing the morning cups of tea he used to bring her every day at 7am on the dot.

TWO BROTHERS were ordered to pay out more than £5,000 for putting their tenants’ lives at risk in fire-trap flats.
Candido and Abilio Pereira Rodrigues own the Banana’s Bar in Walworth Road and two floors of bedsits above. Following damning inspections and several warnings from Southwark Council, the pair were found guilty of offences related to a disconnected fire alarm system and a bathroom riddled with damp and mould. They were fined £2,800 each, ordered to pay £280 in court costs and given a month to make the necessary improvements to their property. This is not the first time the Rodrigues brothers have been in trouble with the council. In October 2013, the Banana’s Bar was closed down and their license revoked following a string of anti-social behaviour complaints. The final straw came when police were called to an alleged GBH on a heavily intoxicated customer at the premises on April 13, 2013, an hour after they were supposed to have closed. The brothers have already fixed the alarm system for the bedsits and have a month to bring the rest of the property up to standard. The Rodrigues brothers are currently appealing their license revocation and their case will be heard in court in June. Councillor Richard Livingstone, Southwark’s cabinet member for housing said: “People living bed-sits tend to have the least ability to choose their housing and often have no choice but to

put up with substandard living conditions. “This is absolutely unacceptable and is why, as a council, we will work hard to advise and support our most vulnerable residents. The Rodrigues brothers failed in their responsibility as a landlord and have rightfully been made to pay for this. This case signals our commitment to improving residents’ housing situation, irrespective of who their landlord is,” he said.

Chief nurse goes to Buckingham Palace to receive honour for her work with patients By Joey Millar
joey@southwarknews.co.uk
THE CHIEF Nurse at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital received a damehood last week at a special ceremony in Buckingham Palace.
Eileen Sills became Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire on Thursday, when she received the award from Prince William at an event in the palace’s ballroom. The veteran nurse and the Duke of Cambridge spoke together about her varied career in the industry and about the important work going on at the trust. A qualified nurse since 1983, Dame Sills has worked at North Middlesex Hospital, the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Whipps Cross Hospital and, finally, Guy’s and St Thomas’, where she has been Chief Nurse since 2005. During her time at the hospital, the 52-year-old has introduced ‘Clinical Fridays’, which increases the amount of time nurses spend dealing with patients on a one-to-one basis, and
helped develop a film about dementia called Barbara’s Story, which has been viewed over 20,000 times on YouTube. The film was even viewed by the Prime Minister, who Dame Sills helped train, along with other members of the government cabinet, to be a ‘dementia friend’ – a volunteer who commits to improving the lives of dementia patients. Dame Sills, whose husband is a GP and eldest daughter a nurse, said: “It feels like the most incredible honour to go to Buckingham Palace to receive this award. I enjoyed discussing my nursing career with Prince William and telling him about all the fantastic work going on at Guy's and St Thomas’. I really would like to thank all my colleagues because this recognition would not have happened without their support.” She had been awarded the DBE in the Queen’s New Year Honours list in recognition of her services to the nursing profession. She has previously received a CBE in the 2003 Queen’s New Year Honours list.

100% affordable homes open on brownfield site By Joey Millar
joey@southwarknews.co.uk
A ‘PIONEERING’ affordable housing development was launched in Bermondsey last week at a former brownfield site on the banks of the Thames.
All 182 of the new Chambers Wharf homes are currently shared-ownership or social-rented - although private properties will eventually be added to the site in Chambers Street. They were built by developers St James in less than two years and were officially opened by Deputy Mayor for Housing, Lane and Property, Richard Blakeway, last Friday. As well as the affordable homes, a community centre which will be used by local schools was built and nearby roads and children’s play areas were improved. One of the first residents, mother-offour Ingrid Thomas, said: “We now have the space and facilities to function as a proper family. I’m blown away by the high quality and design of the
NEWS 21
home. The outdoor space is wonderful and has already started bringing residents together. The children are also really excited about the play area which is currently being built!” The next stage of the development will see private homes built, bringing the total number of properties across the site to 587. The homes will be spread across seven buildings ranging in height from 10 to 14 stories. Phase two will also see the creation of new walkways and cycleways surrounding the development, which will help reconnect the area with the riverside. Councillor Mark Williams, Southwark cabinet member for regeneration, planning and transport said: “In Southwark we are tackling the housing crisis head on and are doing all we can to build the quality affordable homes our residents so desperately need. This development delivers affordable homes at social rent, while also helping local residents get onto the property ladder with shared ownership homes.”
IMMIGRATION OFFICERS ‘VERBALLY ABUSED’
By Amelia Burr amelia@southwarknews.co.uk VIDEO FOOTAGE released this week shows immigration officers being verbally abused as they made arrests in Peckham earlier this month.
As part of an operation to target
illegal working, Home Office Immigration Enforcement Officers visited two businesses in Rye Lane on May 13. Three men were arrested at K&K Butchers after they were found to be in breach of their visas. They have been released and ordered to report regularly to the Home Office while
their cases are progressed. But while the officers went about their work, they were “confronted by members of the public unhappy with their presence and were subjected to some verbal abuse,” according to a Home office spokesperson. A video of the commotion in Rye Lane has been viewed over 350,000 times online and attracted hundreds of impassioned comments from both sides of the debate. In the footage three immigration officers can be seen tussling with members of an angry crowd in the middle of the street and as the officer’s leave in their van, the crowd cheers. No one was injured. A Home Office spokesperson said: “These arrests send a clear message to those who believe they can abuse the UK’s immigration laws. Anyone who is found to be here illegally will face removal from the country. “We would urge anyone with detailed and specific information about suspected immigration abuse to get in touch.”

Design for life - young people create clothes BERMONDSEY
By Joey Millar
joey@southwarknews.co.uk
A NEW group helping disadvantaged young people escape gang life celebrated its official launch with a fashion show in Bermondsey last Thursday.
‘Reformed’ is an organisation that helps the borough’s youth escape a life of crime by providing them with a creative outlet, by designing and printing their own clothing labels. “I was living in Peckham and heading down the wrong path,” said Ramon, 22, a member of the group. “When I was fifteen my best friend was murdered and I knew I had to do something to change my life. It woke me up.” He joined Southwark Works, an employment enterprise scheme for young people, where he gained work experience at the BBC. It was also where he met Julian Wright and Dean Foster, who went on to found Reformed. “Julian and Dean helped me realise my potential and appreciate that it is possible to go in a different direction. Life is a road and Reformed helped me find the right way through. Now I’m hoping to
start my own business and do my own part in helping other young people.” The show was a great success, with a boisterous crowd enjoying the entertainment and snapping up the specially-designed t-shirts. Children performed a dance show and older ‘Reformed’ members showed off a variety of their designed clothing. Co-founder Julian said: “It went really, really well and everyone was very supportive. We sold a lot of shirts and people seemed really excited by the company. “I am so pleased that so many people got a chance to see what we are all about at our launch. We want to help people avoid that downward spiral of crime and gang life. Putting t h e i r energy towards b e i n g creative is a great way to do this.”

A MOTHER-of-three faced her fear of heights and abseiled down the UK’s tallest sculpture last weekend in aid of disabled children.
Jane Codrington, 38, scaled London’s 114 metre-high Arcelor Mittal Orbit in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park on Saturday for Action For Kids. With three work colleagues from Belvedere Mead Stars, Jane, of Herne Hill, raised almost £1500 for the children’s disability charity. “I was petrified,” admitted Jane after she completed the UK's highest freefall abseil.” The week before I was very anxious and jumpy and didn’t talk to
anybody about it. When I was up there holding on to the guy I was thinking that I couldn’t do it. “I felt euphoric afterwards but my descent was not straightforward – my ropes got tangled and there was a ten minute drama off the platform before I’d even started but I couldn’t get back up, I just had to do it,” said Jane who has vowed never to do another abseil again, but is still glad she did it. “The high afterwards was so unbelievably overwhelming that you know that you’ve challenged yourself properly. That’s quite remarkable and makes you feel very good about yourself, as well as raising much needed funds,” she added.

WAR HERO TEACHER GIVES HIS LAST LESSON - AGED 91 News pages 12-13
We need longer sentences to combate knife crime
IT WAS with great sadness I read the report in last week’s News (May 21st) of how the mother of an innocent man stabbed to death in a botched revenge attack, watched his last painful moments on CCTV video footage.
It’s almost impossible to imagine a mother’s feelings watching her son die in such a distressing way. I would like to wish Mrs Jean Foster every success with her self-funded anti-knife campaign called ‘Cut-ItOut’, in getting her message across to young people. Since last summer, £12 million has been spent under the tackling knives action programme focusing on 16 key areas with pressing problems. The programme has made little apparent impact. Irritatingly the law to combat increasing knife crime is already in place. I say it’s the reluctance of the judiciary to hand down the maximum sentences for illegally carrying a knife that’s causing today’s problems. Judges and magistrates don’t seem to realise that knives can kill as effectively as guns. The guilty in too many cases are walking away with lenient community service or a short term of
custody. I believe the Justice Minister should apologise for the Government’s failure to reform an incompetent justice system and explain to Mrs Foster and the public how he proposes to stop the terrifying growth of a feral, feckless and amoral underclass spawned by the excesses of the welfare state. Thank goodness the basic code of morality is observed by the vast majority of the nation who do their best to obey the law, tell the truth, pay their taxes and generally observe conventions of decent society.

We want action before someone is hurt! I WAS shocked and disappointed to read the article regarding the speeding problem on Melbourne Grove East Dulwich (‘Our quiet street has turned into a traffic rat run, Southwark News May 21st 2015).
Specifically Cllr Merrill's response to the residents concerns was dismissive, factually incorrect and missed the point. I want to correct Cllr Merrill's comment that the average speed along this road is 20mph. There are two recent data sets which show this to be wrong. The police collected data which shows that the 80th percentile speed is 25mph (which the police say this is the best guide to the speed most vehicles are going). The police were shocked at the volume of traffic on Melbourne Grove (just under 15,000 cars a week). Furthermore data collected by Southwark Council themselves shows that 76.5% of cars are speeding on our road. My family and I live on Melbourne Grove along with many other families with young children. There are two new schools being built at either end of the street which will no doubt
increase the number of children using and crossing the road. The residents of Melbourne Grove are calling on Southwark Council to listen to our concerns and take immediate action to reduce the volume and speed of traffic on our road. We want action before someone is seriously hurt or worse. Jane Goodland, via email
Charity trustee will be dearly missed
AT OUR meeting on 14 May, the Trustees of Camberwell Consolidated Charity held a minute’s silence in memory of one of our members, Barry Noon, who passed away recently.
In March 2013, Barry received the Southwark Civic Association Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his long-term and multifaceted commitment to Southwark-based charities and voluntary organisations. Barry was a Trustee of both Camberwell Consolidated Charity and the Rotherhithe Consolidated Charity in 2007, but his voluntary work began in 1982 when he was one of the founder committee members of the Guy's & St Thomas’ Kidney Patients Association. Barry was diagnosed with kidney failure in 1969, and until his death
was cared for by the world famous kidney dialysis and transplant unit at Guy’s Hospital. Barry is survived by his son James and his wife Sue, whom he met at the dialysis unit at Guy’s—which he always joked was one the least romantic places to meet a future partner. Barry will be greatly missed by his family and his many friends in Southwark and beyond. Evelyne Jarrett, For the Trustees of the Camberwell Consolidated Charity

Mindfulness gives focus
E
ARLIER THIS month, Southwark CCG supported Mental Health Awareness Week, with the theme this year being ‘mindfulness’.
Put simply, mindfulness is the ability to focus on what is currently happening to us rather than being constantly distracted by our thoughts of past events or future worries, which has been seen as major cause of some mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression. Our mind is constantly working, but we are rarely aware of what it is actually doing. By practicing mindfulness, we can learn to let go of our thoughts and bring our mind to rest. When I first heard about mindfulness a few years ago I was, like many others, somewhat sceptical. Fast forward to today, and mindfulness seems to have lost its unfair reputation as a new-age ‘fad’ and been welcomed into the mainstream as a popular and effective way of promoting positive mental health and wellbeing. There is growing evidence that mindfulness has the potential to help people with both physical and psychological difficulties – the two of which very often go hand in hand. Research has shown that mindfulness is particularly helpful in preventing people who suffer repeated episodes of depression from relapsing and it is now available to certain patients on the NHS. Scientists now understand much more about the way in which mindfulness works and its beneficial effects on the brain – helping us better manage our thoughts and emotions so that we can lead healthier, happier lives.. Mindfulness helps us to manage stress and pay more attention to how we treat our bodies, enabling us to change unhealthy behaviours that have the potential to damage us both physically and mentally. Of course, mindfulness isn’t a miracle cure. It’s simply a technique that, over time, can improve wellbeing and help you to look at life from a different angle. The Mental Health Foundation has developed a website dedicated to mindfulness, with tips and techniques on starting out – visit www.bemindful.co.uk My advice to you – don’t expect to become a mindful master. Just relax and enjoy the journey!

Bailey Thomas-Loader Loving wishes on your 12th Birthday
My Precious Son Bailey As I wake in the morning and you’re not here to see, I grasp for some reality that my dreams can never be. I will bake a cake & buy balloons, I will burn a candle too, I will play your music, look at pictures and shed some tears for you. I will imagine what the day would bring, if only you weren’t gone, you'd run and laugh, jump about, we'd sing the birthday song. You should be here today, excited as can be, sifting through the toys and wrap, bursting forth with glee. But God had other plans for you, these plans I will never know. Today the candle burns... with no tiny lips to blow. I will do my best to make it through, this day I meet with dread. I will do all this for you my love on this road of grief I tread. So on this day my precious son, your birthday number '12', you’re in my heart and in my thoughts as I send my love to you. Love you always Bailey love from Mummy and Izabelle Bailey xxxxx

www.southwarknews.co.uk/arts
Teds at the Elephant SOME READERS will remember the outcry when Teddy Boys rampaged through the Elephant & Castle’s Trocadero in the 50s, and found themselves on the news and front pages. The local ‘juvenile delinquents’ had thrown coins at Cliff Richard and jeered Bobby Darin when they did shows there. When the film Blackboard Jungle was screened, the Teds rioted and two policemen were injured, writes Michael Holland...
Tristan Bernays has now written a play about those times, called Teddy. Tristan is of an age where the only Teddy he should know is one he had taken to bed as a child not so many years ago, but explains that, ‘I love rockabilly music and Teddy Boy culture’. Having started out as an actor and then doing ‘every job you could do in a theatre’, the erstwhile actor eventually turned to writing, and found his strengths lie there.

Eight contemporary artists
His past works have been produced in some of London’s top fringe theatres. Reading about the 1956 mayhem while London was itself almost lost to mob violence in 2011, Tristan saw the similarities: ‘Angry young teens were out on the same streets rioting; angry and frustrated with no outlet and I thought: Nothing really changes… Young urban teens are still just pent-up bundles of hormones and hairspray with little prospect of a future and nothing to lose.’ The outcome was Teddy. ‘It's not really a musical, though music features heavily - it's more like a play and a gig mixed together,’ he tells me. ‘I mean, you can't do a story about Teddy Boys without music, can you?’ Teddy and Josie are about to hit the streets of London for a good time. It's pouring down, they're totally skint, and someone wants them dead - but a little trouble never stopped a Ted from having a good time. Desperate times call for rock 'n' roll.

arts
Brunel Playwright Nick Harrison and director Martin Parr.
Brunels return to Rotherhithe WHAT BETTER place to see a play about the Brunels than in The Brunel Museum, just off Brunel Road? You couldn’t make it up, could you? Well you can because Nick Harrison did with his play The Eighth Wonder of the World which will have its world première in the Brunels’ tunnel shaft, writes Michael Holland...
The story is set on 10th November 1827 as the father and son team, locked in a power struggle, prepare to host a party for 170 guests in the tunnel-shaft as a public relations event following several recent disasters, including a major flood which halted the construction. On the eve of the most important date in the precarious life of the tunnel, they must put aside underlying family tensions and try to restore their reputation. Martin Parr directs this new piece and took time out from directing a cast that he holds in high esteem to talk to the News.

He has not only worked with the writer before but is also an admirer of the Brunels and all things tunnel and bridge, so is the perfect candidate for the task. Parr came to directing by default, really, but soon knew that he enjoyed this more than the acting he had trained to do, and having visited the Brunel Museum last year he could see immediately that he wanted to be a part of something here. He says, excitedly, ‘The venue is utterly staggering. It's hugely atmospheric, epic and surprising. I describe it as being a little like falling down Alice's rabbit hole: you enter through a small, secret door and are suddenly plunged into a vast, other-worldly, theatrical chamber. There really is nothing else quite like it, anywhere. And we will be creating even more atmosphere down there with some clever tricks...’ I was already intrigued. ‘I think this is especially important in a location which is 'non-traditional' as you are asking quite a lot of an audience: you

are taking them on an adventure as soon as they start their journey from home, because most of them won't have been there before. It's a big responsibility. And an exciting one.’ Now I was excited as well as intrigued. With this subject matter, in this space, I think The Eighth Wonder of the World could attract people into the theatre who have never been before. Martin Parr does too. Giving the director the last word before he went back to rehearsals he said, ‘Not only is it site-specific but it’s a thumping good drama’.

Man versus food at Ping Pong food & drink
PING PONG
FESTIVAL TERRACE, SOUTHBANK CENTRE, BELVEDERE ROAD SE1 8XX 020 7960 4160 WWW.PINGPONGDIMSUM.CO.UK
AT ONE point – possibly in between the third and fourth helping of dumplings – my evening at Ping Pong felt less a quiet meal out and more a competitive eating final. Luckily, given the quality of the food on offer, this was not a bad thing, writes Joey Millar...
The Cantonese restaurant and bar is a bustling eatery in the heart of the ever-entertaining Southbank Centre, boasting a tapas-style menu of small dishes and a hectic modus operandi, as our waitress explained. “Have you been here before? Basically, just order as many dishes as
you want and we’ll bring each one over the very second that it is ready.” She wasn’t kidding. My friend and I had barely finished giving our order – the generous ‘shared menu’ - when our first dish arrived, closely followed by a second and a third and a fourth... Before long our tiny table had filled up with dishes and we were thrown into a ‘Man versus Food’-style battle of clearing our dishes before the next ever-generous helping arrived. The food itself was delicious and came in a dizzying array of forms: rolls, balls, puffs, parcels, cakes, buns and pots, to name just a few. What was consistent, however, was the quality, with no dish disappointing – and even if you weren’t particularly keen on one plate, another one would soon be on its way. Any attempt to savour a particular portion, however, was somewhat tempered by the sight of the smiling waitress appearing at the kitchen door with yet another plate of food. The table was soon groaning under the Cantonese smorgasbord and we were forced to play a game of culinary
Buckaroo, at one point balancing four helpings of dumplings on top of each other – no mean feat, as the admiring glances from neighbouring tables confirmed. At long last the conveyor belt of dishes slowed and then came to an end – an event that left me feeling satisfied, proud and slightly traumatised - an unusual cocktail of emotions for a dinner table. While waiting for the bill to arrive, a waitress mistakenly paused at our table with a huge helping of dumpling, sending a shiver of dread through my body. The food was delicious, don’t get me wrong, but there can be too much of a good thing. Keen to try some of the best Chinese food in London? Today’s as good a day as ever – in fact it’s better. The restaurant is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a special one-day promotion. Anyone who sings ‘Happy Birthday’ to the maitre d’ this evening will receive a free meal worth £30, and at Ping Pong that is more than enough to push both your appetite - and your tabletop Tetris skills - to the limit.

Southwark News, Thursday May 28, 2015
By John Prendergast

FISHER JUNIOR boxer Michael Burke will fight for an ABA title after a semi-final victory in the England Schoolboy championships last weekend.
The fourteen-year old defeated James Head from Billericay in two rounds and will now travel to Sheffield this weekend seeking to become a national title holder. Fisher head coach Steve Hiser told the News: “Michael was very strong and he was well on top in the first round and I told him he could stop his opponent, and he went out and stopped him in the next round. “He’s a good fighter who has a decent record having just lost once in around fifteen fights. I think at one time he didn’t really believe in himself but he has now
found that belief and there is no reason why he could not go all the way in this now.” However club colleague Joe Cheeseman, thirteen, could not match the result of Burke as he lost on points against Adam Azim from the Pinewood Star club. Hiser added: “I thought Joe could have nicked the decision. The other kid moved around the ring really well but I didn’t really see what he hit Joe with to give him the verdict. “But that’s the way it goes, sometimes you need that bit of luck. We are still proud of Joe and he really impressed me in the way he handled things. “He was obviously disappointed but he conducted himself like a man even though he is still very much a boy.”

Roy hits career best knock By John Prendergast
news@southwarknews.co.uk
SURREY’S JASON Roy hit a career best first class knock of 140 as the Kennington side played out a draw against Northamptonshire.
The whole first day of the match was washed out by the weather so a draw always looked the likeliest result when the teams took to the pitch at the County ground on day two. The visitors managed to skittle Northants out for 309 first time out with Tom Curran returning figures of 4/89. The Kia Oval outfit hit 499 in reply with Roy and Kumar Sangakkara, who scored 111, dominating the scorecard as the game meandered to a stalemate. In the end Surrey picked up thirteen bonus points for their efforts whilst the Midlands side secured ten points to add to their season’s tally. Surrey are currently in first class action, this time against Kent, in a game that finished after we went to press. To find out that result and the latest Surrey news visit www.kiaoval.com.

MILLWALL’S UNBEATEN start to their league campaign came to an end last Friday when they fell to defeat against Reading Ladies. Two goals from Emma Follis plus a Harriet Scott effort were enough for
Reading to take all the spoils on the night. Millwall had begun their campaign with a seven game unbeaten streak but were brought back down to earth with a bump by the Royals, who shook off the absence of England star Fran Kirby. Lionesses defender Naomi Cole said: “They proved why they are top of the league at this stage of the season. “They are strong, attack-minded side and they showed that with three quality
goals. “We know we can play better than that. It’s unfortunate for us as we’ve gone seven games unbeaten and we’ve kind of given them this result a little bit; credit to them they did play well but we feel we let ourselves down. “We feel we can get close to the likes of Reading but they showed their quality. We knew we were in for a fight today and we just didn’t quite step up.” For the latest Lionesses news visit millwall.fawsl.com.

cementing the relationship between two clubs formed in the same year. Supporters’ team boss Dooley said: “Relationships are easy to build in our country. It is harder to do the same thing with overseas clubs. “But I think Dulwich and Altona fans are on the same wavelength with our values and as always they look after us when we visit and I would like to thank them all for that.” The Altona first team will be coming to England in July to take on the Hamlet first team, and another supporters’ game will take place that weekend. Altona fan Jan Stöver, who helped organise the contest, added: “I think
it's an important relationship we have and it was an honour to have the Dulwich fans as guests. “It is what football is about, meeting new friends and having a drink together afterwards.” Dulwich have also announced a number of extra games that have already been put in place for preseason. Sides Dulwich will take on include Peterborough United, meaning the return of fans’ favourite Erhun Oztumer, Dagenham and Redbridge, Charlton and Altona 93.

FOOTBALL & EDUCATION AT THE SETTLEMENT
YOUNG PEOPLE from across the Lewisham & Southwark Millwall Premier League Kicks Projects, came together on the evening of Friday 1st May for an evening of social education and football.
Teams from the Silwood Estate, Woodpecker Youth Club, Oxford & Bermondsey Youth Club, Avondale Square Estate, Rotherhithe Settlement, and Damilola Taylor Centre were all in attendance along with inspirational speaker Paul Hannaford. Paul travels around the country educating young people around issues on drugs, alcohol, gangs, guns, bullying, and prison life. The workshop highlights the harsh realities of real life and the life of crime, clearly highlighting the importance of choice and consequence. At Millwall Community Trust we use the power of social educational workshops to inspire and empower the young people within the projects, to create ambassadors within our communities.
The U16 5 a side football festival followed the workshop on the pitch, and the inspired young people played with quality positivity and commitment to make it through the group stages, knockout rounds, and finals. The final was
contested by the young people from the Silwood & Woodpecker, putting on an excellent display for the crowd. Silwood prevailed on the evening topping off an excellent evening on the projects. Tom Rolt Community
Development Officer at Millwall Community Trust commented on the events; “This evening was the start of a new legacy on the projects. We are fortunate to have use of a new facility at the Rotherhithe Docklands Settlement, and bringing the young people we
engage with to participate in workshops along with the football festivals is so important. By having these provisions accessible to 12-18 year olds in the area, we are aiming to continue our work in creating positive environments for our next generation.�

HARRIS TO CONFRONT SOME HOME TRUTHS Southwark News, Thursday May 28, 2015
www.southwarknews.co.uk/sport
MILLWALL 45
By John Kelly
johnk@southwarknews.co.uk
IF NEIL Harris is to be successful in guiding Millwall back to the Championship at the first attempt, he’ll have to first solve the problem of the club’s form at The Den.
There is certainly little home comfort to be found in the numbers. Specifically, in the last 69 league games at SE16 over three seasons, Millwall won just 19 times. Their home form got progressively worse over the course of those three campaigns: Eight wins in 2012/13; six the following season; and five last season. That trend reflects the decline from Kenny Jackett’s last season in charge to the uncertainty that followed his exit from the club in the summer of 2013 after what had been a relatively stable and successful period that included promotion back to the Championship in 2010 and a run to the FA Cup semi-final three years later. In those 19 games, only twice were three points retrieved from a losing position. Ironically, one of those times was during the doomed Steve Lomas regime, a 3-1 win over Blackpool on September 17, 2013, which was also his first win as Lions boss. More encouragingly, the second was secured last season against Charlton in Harris’s fourth game in charge. However, that home form provides a clear picture of why Millwall now find themselves in League One. Admittedly, one would expect the Lions, currently second favourites for the title, to improve their win percentage at home against more modest opposition, particularly with one of the biggest budgets in the division to work with.
DEN DIARY
BLADES TAKE CLOUGH MEDICINE
IN A week of some high-profile and baffling managerial sackings, the biggest tremor in League One was felt in Sheffield with the departure of Nigel Clough.
The former Derby County boss led United to the playoffs last season where they lost an extraordinary tie 7-6 to Swindon Town. The Blades have been installed by the bookies as the early favourites for the title next season, but despite leading United to the semi-finals of both the FA and League Cups he pays the price for his failure to win promotion to the Championship.
CHOPPER LOOKING FOR STRIKER TO HELP REVERSE TREND
It’s also no coincidence that there is a correlation between home form and the scoring returns of the club’s strikers over that time period. It explains why Millwall’s record goalscorer has prioritised the signing of a centre-forward to complement those already at the club. “We’re working very hard behind the scenes at the moment,” Harris said. “We want a mix of strikers. “Lee Gregory’s done exceptionally well. Aiden O’Brien’s come in and done really, really well. We’re talking regularly to John Marquis, who’s been out on loan
ALL MILES FOR MILLWALL FANS
IT’S NOT quite the moon and back but Millwall fans’ love for the club might be measured in the distance they’ll have to travel in League One next season. The final make-up of the division was completed last weekend with the addition of Southend United and Swindon Town’s defeat to Preston. It means the Lions are the only London club in League One and will have to travel more than 7,500 miles - before taking into account potential cup runs. The furthest journey is Fleetwood Town, a 512-mile round trip, while the closest is Gillingham, a relatively short 64-mile there-and-back jaunt.
and done well and is somebody I’ve known over the years.” It’s been five seasons since a Millwall striker breached the 20-goal mark in the league. Steve Morison’s 21 strikes in 2009/10 helped propel Jackett’s side to promotion via the playoffs that season but since then there has been a steady drop-off in scoring rates: Morison was again top scorer the following season with 15; Darius Henderson finished with the same total in 2011/12 followed in subsequent seasons by Chris Wood (11), Morison (8) and Gregory, who scored nine last
WILL HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF?
ONLY TWICE in their history have Millwall not had any London league derbies to look forward to and the omens are mixed.
In the 1961/62 season the Lions finished top of Division Four but were relegated from the third tier two seasons later. They finished second in 1964/65 and were promoted again along with Brighton, York and Oxford. The following season the side went unbeaten at home to clinch a second successive promotion to the Second Division where they remained for nine successive seasons.
season. Harris switched to 4-4-2 after taking over from Ian Holloway and wants strikers with different qualities to facilitate different styles of play. “That blend of striker is extremely important,” Harris continued. “You want people with pace, you want predominantly goalscorers, you want box players and you want target men. “We’ve got a mix at the moment. Lee and Aiden were a good pair last year. John brings something completely different to them, so we’re always looking at someone slightly different. “Without giving too much away, we’re
SCOREBOARD ON THE WAY
CHIEF EXECUTIVE Andy Ambler says the club are looking at “different options” to replace the big screen at The Den.
“A scoreboard and a clock is a minimal requirement,” he said. “That would be a £12,000 to £15,000 outlay. “We’re probably not looking at the same size as it’s not financially viable. “A screen that size -- and it would have to be HD -- is anything from £100,000 to £150,000. We’re looking at all our costs across the club, as you would being in League One with the loss of revenue. “But we will try to get a scoreboard in the stadium next year.”

not pigeon-holed into wanting an exact thing. It’s the blend that’s important.” With Gregory, O’Brien and Marquis having an average age of 23, it wouldn’t be a surprise were Harris to opt for experience to complete a frontline capable of firing the Lions straight back to the Championship.
ALAN NOT DUNNE YET
FORMER MILLWALL defender Alan Dunne, who was released by the club after relegation from the Championship, is keeping busy as he pursues his coaching badges.
He tweeted on Monday: “Alarm set for 5.15 to head to St George’s Park for 8 days UEFA A.” He was joined at the FA’s National Football Centre by another former Lion, Graham Stack. Stack, who played at The Den on loan from Arsenal during the 2004/05 season, was recently promoted to League Two with Conference champions Barnet.

RICHIE SADLIER tells an amusing story about Stuart Nethercott’s pre-match routine when he was at Millwall.
According to the former Lions striker, Nethercott
“would go into one of the cubicles and he would vomit. So you would hear that. And then he would start roaring, ‘Feed the bear!’ “I remember the very first time that happened,” Sadlier continued. “You’d go ‘Is Nethers getting sick?’ and then you’d hear ‘Feed the bear!’ and he would emerge from the cubicle area, and he would always be wearing the same thing: just
shorts and socks and flip-flops, so he would be
topless. “And then he’d start shadowboxing. He’d just start punching the air. And you’d go ‘What the hell is going on with Nethers?’ Then after a while, a few weeks would go by and you’d just go, ‘That’s just what

“And then he’d start shadow-boxing. He’d just start punching the air. And you’d go ‘What the hell is going on with Nethers?’ “ he does.’” So, is it true? “It is,” the former Millwall centre-back admits, laughing. “I was quite a nervous player so I suppose that was something I’d try to get out of the system. It was something we had a laugh about. Training was always fun times.” If there is a comic element to the image, it also speaks of the kind of atmosphere at The Den at the time. That dressing room Nethercott
occupied between 1998 and 2004 was studded with strong characters: Sean Dyche was part of the side that won promotion back to the old first division in 2001, while the 2004 FA Cup final team had a spine of Matt Lawrence, Dennis Wise, Tim Cahill and current boss Neil Harris. In the corridor on the way to the dressing rooms at The Den is a mural of former player/manager Wise, one of a number depicting
stand-out moments from the club’s history. Although Wise led the Lions to that first cup final appearance, Nethercott doesn’t recall him with fondness. “He did his best to ensure I was unhappy. I remember he took me to one game at Burnley and didn’t even put me on the subs bench. I had a young family to think about so I thought, ‘I’m wasting my time here.’”
Nethercott went on loan to Wycombe for the latter part of the 2003/04 season thus missing out on an appearance at Cardiff. Nethercott remembers a strong dressing room, one in which he at one point pinned Belgian winger Christope Kinet to the wall after a particularly lax performance but shared a beer with him in the upstairs lounge after the game. He blames Wise’s recruitment policy for shredding the dressing
MILLWALL 47
room of that sort of character. Harris, Cahill and another stalwart, Robbie Ryan, departed in the summer of 2004 and most of the cup final team had left within a year. On the wall opposite Wise is an illustration of Harris being hoisted onto the shoulders of his teammates after his return from testicular cancer in 2001. Nethercott, speaking at a legends tour at the ground last weekend, referenced the “Millwall” way a number of times throughout the afternoon. The appointment of Harris, he believes, marks a departure from the short-termism of previous approaches, where a strategy in which loan signings were a key feature never created a sense of continuity or a philosophy consistent with the traditions of the club. That philosophy now has a chance to develop with someone who, Nethercott thinks, understands the nature of Milwall and its connection with the fan base. “We were always a fast-tempo side,” the former Spurs defender explained. “We had two wingers flying, crosses coming in, and just putting teams under pressure, really. I know the game has changed and you can’t do that to the same extent. Teams pack midfields now but I think you’ve got to get a bit of steel back, a bit of passion back. “The last few games here, I saw signs. You have to get these young boys in that know the way to play, that know the Millwall way. You’re getting loans in and it just doesn’t feel right. They don’t get the feel of the club and they go back to their clubs after six or nine months.” Nethercott, who now coaches football in schools, tried his hand at management but never took to it. “I’m not really a great watcher. I’ve done my coaching badges, so you never know. If an offer came in I’d certainly consider it.” Clearly, there were leaders in the dressing room during Nethercott’s time who were earmarked for management. Dyche had a spell with Watford before he took Burnley to the Premier League, but was Harris obvious manager material? “No, no, not at all,” Nethercott said. “He was one of the ones I’d have said, ‘Not a chance.’ We had Dychie and you could see it in him. But fair play to (Neil). He’s studied the game and he’s a clever boy. He’s done his badges and he’s had a little look round with that reserve side and he knows this club insideout. “He’s the right person to take this club on. “He was good in the dressing room. For a young kid he could have his say, I’ll give him that. He was quite popular but he upset a few as well and that’s what he’s got to do here. “I hope he cracks it here. He was a heck all-time leading scorer. You want this man to succeed in the place.”

YOUTH INVESTMENT BEARS FRUIT
By John Kelly
johnk@southwarknews.co.uk
ACADEMY BOSS Scott Fitzgerald is working closely with manager Neil Harris to identify the best candidates to fill under-18 and under-21 coaching roles with the club.
Millwall run a category two academy that was called for under the Elite Player Performance Plan requiring the club to have separate development facilities. The Lions moved into the complex in 2012 and at the time Fitzgerald spoke about the importance of
creating a philosophy consistent from the under-9s through to the under-18s. “Anyone who has seen our younger teams will know that we play from the back, through each third of the pitch and that we’re a possession-based academy,” Fitzgerald said. “It doesn’t always come off, but that is our aim.” Harris has made it clear he sees the club’s future based around such a structure and chief executive Andy Ambler believes the investment is now paying off. “They are important positions for us to fill,” Ambler said of the
development roles. “Scott and Neil have been interviewing and now it’s left to Scott to tidy that up in the next week. There’s a bit of work to do.” “We’ve got a category two academy. We invest £600,000 a year. It’s £1.2 million to run that academy and we get a grant for half, but there’s still £600,000 a year that we are investing in youth. “Neil believes that that is the right way forward and the fans believe that’s the right way forward. We need a pathway for that youth to develop and eventually graduate to play first-team football. “We’ve already seen it with Sid

Aiden (O’Brien) and John (Marquis) are a bit older but came through that pathway as well. “We’ve got some real talent coming through from the 18s and 21s. The batch of pros seem to be getting better every year and that’s exactly what we had hoped would happen. “But it takes a long time, you can’t switch it on overnight. That process has been ongoing for three, four, five years since Scott came to the club.”
BOSS WANTS A LEANER LIONS SQUAD By John Kelly
johnk@southwarknews.co.uk
MILLWALL MANAGER Neil Harris wants a trimmer squad for next season’s Sky Bet League One campaign.
The Lions used 40 players last season but Harris is determined to prize quality over quantity next term. Harris wants to add five or six players to the squad after releasing 18 shortly after the conclusion of the Championship campaign, with a striker and left-back top of the list of priorities. The club will also add a keeper to the ranks. “Neil wants to operate with a smaller squad than last year,” chief executive Andy Ambler said. “The core number he’s looking at is 22 or 23 players. “I think if you look at all the most successful clubs across different leagues they use the least number of players. “Neil wants a balance between experience and youth. ‘Young and hungry’ is a catchphrase we seem to be using going forward. “We saw with the way the squad shaped up towards the end of last season in a difficult division an indication of the way we’re going. “It was really pleasing to see, for instance, Jamie Philpot, even though he got injured, come on and score with his first touch in professional football. “I think we need a younger pool and Neil is committed to building a younger squad which means as a club we’ve got to be patient. “I’d rather when we go back to the Championship we go back with a young, hungry group. “There’s work to be done. There are probably four or five needed to get up to that number (that Harris wants).” THE RECYCLED PAPER CONTENT OF UK NEWSPAPERS IN 2014 WAS 83.5%
