Bowel cancer remains the second most common cause of cancer death in the UK, with 44 people losing their lives to the disease every day.

  • Know the Game Plan
    14th June 2018 UK Protect Protective Security Information for the Business Community 4th May 2018 National Bulletin UKACT TERRORISM SUMMER SECURITY THREAT LEVELS— KNOW THE GAME PLAN Former England stars Alan Shearer, David Seaman and Paul Parker have teamed up with Counter Terrorism Policing to offer football fans security advice ahead of the World Cup. The ex-internationals feature video messages explain how fans can keep themselves and others safe while gathering to watching games. The move is part of a summer long security campaign aimed at protecting crowded places. With the tournament kicking off this evening, (Thursday 14 June) when hosts Russia take on Saudi Arabia, thousands are expected to watch matches on screens in city centres, football grounds and fan parks up and down the UK. Police security experts will again be working in partnership with local authorities and event organisers to ensure that safety and security remains top of the agenda, and they’ve enlisted the help of pundits Shearer and Parker and former Arsenal goalkeeper Seaman to help deliver this messaging to fans. Alan Shearer said: “Security is a team effort. If you’re going to see the game have a great time and look out for each other. Know your game plan and we can keep everyone safe.” While there is no intelligence to indicate an increased threat to World Cup screenings or any other summer events, the new National Coordinator for Protect and Prepare Policing, Chief Superintendent Nick Aldworth, wants the public to know the game plan for better security. CT Policing’s ‘Know the game plan’ messages have already been adopted and supported throughout the season by the Premier League and English Football League (EFL).

Officers have been working with the Premier League, EFL and individual clubs to enhance measures designed to keep supporters safe, and to raise and awareness of the threat from terrorism among club employees and supporters. While there is no specific threat to football grounds, the project is part of a wider police plan to work more closely with different sectors such as retail, hospitality and entertainment to help protect the public.

Nearly a quarter of a million sports event stewards have been issued with a short guide giving key advice to help protect crowds of spectators.

  • DAVID SEAMAN CLUB LEGEND David Seaman Is Considered One of the Greatest Goalkeepers of All Time
    ARSENAL HOME LEARNING DAVID SEAMAN CLUB LEGEND David Seaman is considered one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time. In 1990, he joined Arsenal from Queens Park Rangers for £1.3 million, a British record for a goalkeeper at the time. It turned out to be a bargain. Seaman's performances won over the fans in no time and he became a rock in Arsenal’s defence. The team kept 23 clean sheets and conceded just 18 goals in the title-winning season of 1990/91. Seaman had sharp reflexes, excellent positional sense, great judgement and bags of courage. The 1994 European Cup Winners' Cup Final win was probably Seaman's finest individual moment. With a broken rib, the Yorkshireman had pain- killing injections and still kept out the talented Parma team. The next season he pulled off three superb saves in a semi-final penalty shoot-out against Sampdoria. He took his fantastic form onto the international scene, becoming one of England's heroes at Euro ‘96. Penalty saves against Scotland and Spain made him a household name and his England career stretched for eight years. David continued to win trophies at club level. Seaman was perfect for new manager Arsène Wenger and was first choice in the double-winning sides of 1998 and 2002. The keeper was getting to the end of his career and some people were beginning to doubt him. David proved them wrong. It was April 2003, Seaman was approaching his 40th birthday and Arsenal were defending a 1-0 lead in the FA Cup semi-final against Sheffield United at Old Trafford.
