How Lucas Neill’s risky run ended in ruin
How Lucas Neill’s risky run ended in ruin

Lucas Neill did business alongside Paul Burrell, former butler to Princess Diana.
One of Australia’s highest paid sportsmen, former Socceroos captain Lucas Neill, made a series of disastrous investments in films, property and sporting ventures over the past two decades before being declared bankrupt earlier this year.
Neill, who was earning $150,000 a week at the height of his football fame while playing for English Premier League clubs West Ham and Everton — and earned an estimated $40 million over the course of his stellar 20-year sporting career that included stints in Europe, Japan and the Middle East — has been ordered to return to Britain so that trustees can obtain more information to determine the full scale of debts.
Neill, 38, who played his last game for the Socceroos in 2013 but never formally announced his international retirement, boasted a diverse investment portfolio and did business alongside several British figures, including his one-time football manager, current Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce, and the former butler to Princess Diana, Paul Burrell.
One of Neill’s investments was The Film Development Partnership, which lost £117,977 last financial year. Mr Burrell and Allardyce also invested in that venture, as did two earls, a lord and two knights.
He also had indirect dealings with slain Sydney standover man Michael McGurk in 2009, when Neill was looking to fund a bid for a western Sydney A-League team — to be called the Sydney Wanderers — for which Neill was planning to be the marquee player. His then agent Paddy Dominguez had several meetings with McGurk, who was sounded out as a possible “financial middleman” for the bid, shortly before McGurk was killed.
Neill’s string of investments spanned the globe and included property in the US, a coaching clinic in Australia, and film and restaurant dealings in Britain. Like many high-earning sportsmen, Neill had invested in industries that attracted lucrative tax benefits as well as those that piqued his interest, such as horse racing. UK Companies House records show the British businesses where Neill holds directorships have £15m ($28.7m) in cash but the overall financial position is currently £7.1m in the red.
Neill’s fall from grace has caught those who know him unawares. Some of his former Socceroos teammates yesterday said they didn’t know or hadn’t heard how he got himself into this position.
Another Neill investment in the entertainment industry is in the Take 5 Film Liabilities Partnership which provides funding for films, but which has struggled in the past few years. Last year it earned nothing and owes £6.9m to creditors.
Those creditors, apart from Neill, include Widnes rugby league coach Denis Betts, former Aston Villa and Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Peter Enckelman, Everton footballer Gareth Farrelly, Bolton Wanderers player Nicky Southall, Britain’s most famous jockey Tony McCoy and another jockey, Richard Johnson.
Neill has familiarity with dissolution of businesses. One company of which he was a director for a month, Platinum4Sports, a business owned by his agent Darren Jackson, was wound up in 2009 with liabilities of more than £13,000. Another real estate venture for which Neill was a director, Opulence Pty Ltd, was dissolved in 2005 with liabilities of more than £25,000.
An election fight has erupted over a $19.5 billion funding hole in Labor’s plans to pay for its education policy.
Australians will face stricter controls on the cash they put into their retirement nest eggs.
Lucas Neill made a series of disastrous investments before being declared bankrupt earlier this year.
Woolworths posts its 4th consecutive quarter of negative comparable sales, as Coles extends its winning streak.
Scott Morrison insists his first budget will focus on jobs and growth while having a dig at unions and Labor.

Everton legend presented with League title medal

Everton legend Derek Temple has finally been presented with a League title medal, 53 years after helping the Blues lift the trophy.
Temple had played in five games for Everton in the Championship winning side of 1963 but at the time that wasn’t enough to be presented with a title winner’s medal.
However, in the years since then, things have changed and today Leicester’s Mark Schwarzer will collect his second successive title medal despite having not played for either of his clubs.
So, The Everton Heritage Society set about the task of asking The FA to make sure Temple was rewarded for his part in Everton’s title winning season in the 60’s and last night, at a gala dinner to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his winning goal at Wembley in the FA Cup final, he was presented with his medal.
Dr David France proudly handed Derek his medal in a packed Devonshire House Hotel, surrounded by Everton legends including Mike Trebilcock who had flown back from Australia to celebrate Derek’s achievements.
The night was organised by former Everton winger Ronny Goodlass for his Health Through Sport charity and was attended by over 400 Evertonians.

.....great story. I have mentioned before but when I was about 20 I was asked to play in a Charity game by Dave Hickson. The team was made up of ex-Everton players including Temple. Lovely man, still really enthusiastic about his footy. So much so that him and I were first in kit and he hurried me out for the kick in. Here I was having a warm up with the bloke who scored our winning goal in an FA Cup final.

Remember watching him being run ragged at Haigh Ave in a reserve game against Oldham and thinking he'd be lucky to have a career in the lower divisions.Shows what a scout I'd make!
Smashing player was Derek, he could play right across the forward line but was at his most effective as a left winger. I grew up in dovecot and Derek had the misfortune to live just a few doors down from the local primary school, imagine a premier league footballer living in a corpy house in dovey today,. As you can imagine there was a steady stream of schoolboys knocking on his door after autographs, I never saw Derek impatient or dismissive towards any of us kids who called at his house. A true gentleman and a shining example to the big time Charlie's who play the game today

His birthday yesterday :
The greatest Everton player I ever watched and I can tell you I have seen some brilliant players at Goodison over the past 53 years. I don't mind admiring I shed a tear when Bally signed for Arsenal.

Heath has been suspended for Sunday's game against Sporting Kansas City by MLS after entering the field of play against the New York Red Bulls Friday night.
TWEET SHARE (69)
Orlando City Head Coach Adrian Heath has been suspended by the Major League Soccer Disciplinary Committee for entering the field of play last Friday night as the Lions played theNew York Red Bulls at Camping World Stadium.
During the team's 1-1 draw with the Red Bulls, Heath stepped onto the field during the 54th minute to throw a ball back. The action violated the league's policy of personnel not actively in the game stepping onto the field of play. It's the second time Heath has been suspended in his two seasons as an MLS coach. Last year he was suspended following the Lions' 2-0 home loss to the Red Bulls when he was sent off after disagreeing with a referee decision to send off striker Cyle Larin. The red card for Larin was later overturned.
It's the second time someone with Orlando City has been suspended for entering the field of play this season. Last month, midfielder Antonio Nocerino was suspended a game for entering the field of play following Kevin Molino's go-ahead goal in stoppage time against the New England Revolution. Nocerino ran out to celebrate with his teammates and was subsequently suspended for the following game in New York against the Red Bulls.
Heath isn't the first coach to be hit with such a suspension by the league, as MLS levied a similarly nit-picky suspension against D.C. United Head Coach Ben Olsen last month.
Assistant Coach Mark Watson will take over Heath's game day duties when the Lions travel to Kansas City for Sunday's clash with Sporting Kansas City.
