Inside Lines: Hammers want Becks to put Olympic stadium plans back on track

Sunday, 15 August 2010

Fabio Capello may not want him but West Ham still believe in Becks, convinced he is the key to the most significant transfer in the club's history: moving from Upton Park to the new Olympic stadium. Kite-flying has become an Olympic sport since the club came under new ownership but their interest in tempting David Beckham back to his roots – he was born a corner kick away in Leytonstone – seems genuine. It coincides with their plan to take over the stadium after the 2012 Games which, with the backing of Newham Borough Council, has been formally submitted to the Olympic Park Legacy company. The Hammers not only want Beckham to play out his twilight years in claret and blue but to play a vital role in presenting their case for stadium ownership. The club had a significant change of heart over the retention of a running track, which the 2012 chief Lord Coe insists is non-negotiable. A track is now included in the plans, which would see the stadium have a capacity of 60,000 with an extended roof to cover all seats and provision for educational and sports facilities which would be for communal use.

Outside Edge (15/08/10)

Sunday, 15 August 2010

Another week, another extraordinary feat of endurance. Former British Army captain Ed Stafford, 34, of Hallaton in Leicestershire has become the first man to walk the entire length of the Amazon river, some 6,000 miles from Mount Mismi in Peru to Belem in Brazil. It took 859 days – and, he says, 50,000 mosquito bites – during which time he was imprisoned for murder, chased by Ashaninka Indians and had his mouth filled with concrete by locals who thought he was prospecting for oil. But even he didn't have to face the peril that Walter Kaiser, a 59-year-old Austrian, endured while climbing the Hochkesslekopf. He tumbled 50ft after being hit by a falling goat. He felt a bit sheepish.
