GUISBOROUGH Town has made one of its most important recent signings with the appointment of 23-year-old Chris Wood as the club’s new general manager. He is well-known at the KGV Stadium for his work in many areas of the club, particularly the development of the Priorymen s young players as the head of the thriving junior section. Mr Wood, currently behaviour support lead at Laurence Jackson School, Guisborough, will be responsible for day to day operations, overseeing and managing the clubhouse activities and driving forward the plans for outside pitches at the KGV. He said: “This is a dream opportunity for me and I’m just itching to get started. There are so many challenges to tackle to ensure this great football club of ours realises its full potential as a genuine community focused and fully inclusive operation.”
Ian St John obituary: An iconic Liverpool figure who went on to illuminate TV screens

Ian St John, who has died aged 82, was an iconic figure in Liverpool s history as part of manager Bill Shankly s construction of a football superpower, before enjoying a hugely successful post-playing career in television and punditry.
St John arrived at Anfield in May 1961, a then club record £37,500 signing from Motherwell, with Liverpool in the old Second Division at the time.
He helped Liverpool win promotion to the top tier, went on to win two league titles and scored 118 goals in 425 appearances - but he is best remembered for the trademark jack-knife header that gave Liverpool a 2-1 victory in the 1965 FA Cup final against Leeds and brought the trophy to Anfield for the first time.
