Frank Spraggon: A defender who married the daughter of former England trainer Harold Shepherdson. He coached abroad and then for Boro’s community scheme. David's face, horribly smashed and disfigured, had to be painstakingly rebuilt in a Newcastle hospital.

Mills scored on his first full appearance for West Brom, but despite the huge sum of money invested in him he was not given many opportunities to prove himself, with injuries, loss of form and a switch to midfield limiting his goals. After scoring only six goals in 59 appearances, he was loaned out to Newcastle United. [2] He is currently working as the head scout for Leicester City.

His parents had bought it as a retirement home and wanted him to work the land. He played for the Widnes Vikings, Harlequins RL in two separate spells, Hull Kingston Rovers, Leigh Centurions, [3] [4] Swinton Lions and the North Wales Crusaders.

She’s done all the drawings.” As a child, he had two dreams: to be a farmer and to have his own zoo. He puts both down to childhood excursions and family holidays – his father was the head of a large architects’ practice based in central London.

I’m not talking about the old European zoos, which are horrendous, or the zoos we used to have when I was child. You wouldn’t keep animals like that in today’s climate.” Bobby Murdoch: A midfielder who managed Boro but returned to live in Glasgow, where he ran a pub and worked as a match day host at Celtic until his death from a stroke in May 2001, aged 56.

Not that Mills calls his own centre a zoo. “Technically, because we have wild animals on display to the public, we need a zoo licence, but I never call the centre a zoo,” he says. “We are a collection of British wildlife.” Last week saw the publication of the annual “State of Nature” report on biodiversity in these isles, which highlighted that one in six species is at risk of being lost, at a time when our country is among the most nature-degraded in the world.

Mills came to the attention of the England Under 23 selectors, [4] earning eight caps and scoring three goals.

But Mills has been talking and acting on this crisis for decades. “When I started this place in 1994,” he recalls, “my friends all told me, ‘You’ve lost the plot, mate. You are going to be taken away by people in white coats, because you are doing something no one wants.’ ” I kept asking how dad was but they were vague and making excuses. They didn't break the news to me for a week but I'd worked it out for myself by then. Davis Mills College Stats". College Football at Sports-Reference.com .
