Signed and given his debut by Ron Atkinson, it was only under the
management of Sir Alex Ferguson the Clayton Blackmore truly rose to
prominence at Old Trafford. The Welshman had the unique distinction of
sporting every outfield shirt number between 2-11 for the reds, (prior to
the modern advent of squad numbers) so ranging was his versatility.
Used primarily as a full-back or a midfielder. Clayton developed a
reputation for his fearsome shooting, especially from dead-ball
situations, and was an integral part of Sir Alex's side as the reds began
picking up silverware. A key player in the FA Cup and European Cup
Winners' Cup triumphs of the early 1990s, Blackmore also picked up
richly deserved Premier League winner's medal in 1993 before injury
curtailed his United career, and he followed former team- mate Bryan
Robson to Middleborough in 1994. Currently Clayton is an Academy
Coach at Old Trafford alongside his media work for both SKY and MUTV,
he is dedicated to raising money for Charity both through his Foundation
and other ventures such as the London Marathon!

since attending an I CAN nursery he has blossomed into a confident and

documented on the track but she had to muster all her reserves off the
track to deal with being falsely accused of taking performance enhancing
drugs. It was a battle that tore her whole life apart, but one that she
finally won and after being proved innocent in 1996 she went on to win
another medal in the Commonwealth Games in 1998. Diane is also an

Prescott Foundation, with two organisations close to his own heart set to receive the
benefits of his own fund raising activities. The Christie Cancer Hospital and The Try Assist
Fund. The Long Walk Home was the first Event organised for the Foundation, it was 200

Scottish by birth, Gordon was brought up in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. With
an injury prematurely putting an end to any hopes of a promising career in
soccer, he went back to college to complete a course in hotel management and
his dedication and natural talent led him to train with some of world’s leading
chefs. In 1993 Gordon became chef of Aubergine in London and within three
years was awarded two Michelin stars. In 1998, at the age of 31, Gordon set up
his own restaurant, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, which quickly received the most
prestigious accolade in the culinary world – three Michelin stars. One of only
four chefs in the UK to maintain three stars, Gordon was awarded an OBE in

opened a string of successful restaurants across the globe, from Italy to LA. 2011
has proved to be another exciting year and saw the opening of Bread Street
Kitchen in London’s City district, as well as a venture across the pond in
Montreal, Canada. Gordon has become a star of the small screen both in the UK
and internationally, with two top rated shows in the US. Ramsay’s Kitchen
Nightmares and Hell’s Kitchen are both into their third and ninth series
respectively, whilst his latest show, Masterchef US, is now in its second series
and is proving to be another massive hit with viewers. Gordon has also published
a number of books, many of which have become best sellers across the world,
notably his autobiography, Roasting in Hell’s Kitchen.
