EditorialA developer thatactually listened to local people

IT IS extremely rare for a developerto completely change their plansbecause of opposition from local

residents – so when they do they shouldbe praised. Planning is often seen as a turgid subjectfor ordinary people. However, in a borough like Southwark

where the demand for land is so high,developments can come along and destroy awhole community that has organicallygrown up in an area that previously was notso desirable. In recent years there is no better exampleof this in Southwark, and even London, thanPeckham. While there are plenty of jibes against theinflux of ‘hipsters’ to the burgeoning artsscene in SE15, the truth is that the area hasin the last few years become a hub ofcreativity. This is in no small part to thework of Michael Smith and others that haveinvested in creating a music and arts hub atthe Bussey Building. So when Frame Property submitted plansfor the building next door with elevenluxury apartments – alarm bells rang. Howwould the well-heeled new residents copewith the noise coming from the many gigsthat would take place beside them? This isa problem that large institutions likeMinistry of Sound to local pubs have facedwhen all of a sudden they find luxury flatsspringing up beside them. It is important therefore that people standup and object at the planning stage tosomething that could destroy your favouriteboozer or result in the demise of acommunity hub that you enjoy. Last year the News joined in a pilotscheme with Southwark Council to makeplanning more accessible to local residents.We pushed and publicised the new planningregister the council created, which allowslocal people to get email alerts aboutplanning applications in their area andcomment anytime 24 hours a day. You can still register by going towww.southwark.gov.uk/planningregisterMichael Smith and other campaignersmade such good use of the new register thatthe 15,400 objectors tested the new systemto its limits, briefly bringing it down. The planners in Southwark were pleasedto see local people make use of the facility,and it was not just the usual white middleclass home-owners objecting. Six months on developer Frame Propertyhave come back with a new application butto their credit they have not just re-submitted the same scheme with a fewalterations in the hope of getting it throughregardless of what people wanted. Theylistened to the outcry of local people andsubmitted an entirely non-residentialscheme.The refurbishment of this once Edwardiantheatre could under the new scheme evenbecome a huge player in the mushroomingbusiness and creative landscape ofPeckham.

WHAT’S THOUGHT to be thecountry’s first chocolate kebabhas been created in a newBermondsey ice cream parlour,and was unveiled last week bya familiar-looking celebritychef.

The skewered rotating cylinder ofwhite and milk chocolate, which isshaved, just like a usual donerkebab, but then put into pancakes,was demonstrated by GordonRamsay lookalike Martin Jordan,who also served customers. The parlour, Flavours, opened inJamaica Road last Friday. Kim Dunn, a local resident, said:

“It’s amazing. There’s nothing elselike it, it’s something different.”Simi Shanker, joint owner of theparlour, said: “It’s really exciting,we’ve just looked into somethingthat would really attract people,young and the old, and I don’t thinkanybody does a chocolate kebabhere. We wanted to be slightlydifferent.”

MOPED-DRIVING thieveshave raided shops in Dulwichand Peckham just a week aftera string of phone robberies inthe area.A Post Office-and-shop inCrossthwaite Avenue nearDenmark Hill had a stash ofcigarettes burgled on the afternoonof Thursday, April 7. Hours later, a hard-workingcouple woke to the frightening

sound of three thugs tearing throughtheir shop, Yogi News in BellendenRoad.Nyan Patel, 54, told the News hewas disturbed by shattering glass inthe early hours of Friday morning,and discovered his till had beenemptied, with thousands of poundsof cigarettes cleared from hisshelves.“At first I heard all this smashingand the sound of glass breaking,”the shop owner said.“But I thought it might be justanother accident like you often getaround here. But then I heard itagain, so walked to the bedroomwindow.

“There were three kids and twomotorbikes and they were smashingthrough my shop. “I ran downstairs to investigate.One guy ran straight out the shop.Another guy came from behind thetill and shot off. “A third guy was waiting at thewindow the whole time, then theysped off.”Nyan, who has managed the shopwith his wife Chetna for 30 years,described the crooks as “younglooking” but well-built. “They were all wearing motorbikehelmets and had black or greyoveralls or bike gear on. But it waspitch black and I couldn’t see theirfaces or their skin,” he said.“One of my neighbours hasCCTV and we watched whathappened. It was all over in fiveminutes. You can see they usedsome big wire cutters to get ourshutters open, and then basheddown the windows with thismassive grey block they left behind.“It’s so shocking because theywere so young and they did it soeasily. They looked like they knewexactly what they were doing.”Having counted the damage,

Nyan believes over £3,000 was lostfrom the brazen raid, only £200 ofwhich was from the till.Meanwhile a very similar raid washatched upon the shop in Dulwich.At 2.46pm two burglars alsosmashed through the shop’s frontdoor and quickly stuffed a bag fullof cigarettes, also estimated to beworth thousands.The two then made their escape ona vehicle believed to either be amotor-scooter or a moped.The Met Police have confirmedthe details of the two cases, and sofar no arrests have been made.A police spokesman said: “At thistime there is insufficientinformation to link the twooffences, however there clearly aresimilarities and the investigatingteam are looking into thispossibility.”Last week the News reported threeincidents, where mobile phone weresnatched out of three pedestrians’hands, all of which took place inDulwich on Monday, April 4.Anyone with information aboutthe incident can help police withtheir enquiries by calling them on101.

THOUSANDS OF socialhousing tenants are beingoffered refunds bySouthwark Council, after ahigh court judge found it hadovercharged residents forwater bills over three years.The council’s announcementfollows a legal dispute withCamberwell resident Kim Jones,represented by Deighton PierceGlynn solicitors, whichconcluded on March 4.The judge, Mr Justice Newey,gave a verdict that the councilhad breached laws on how it cansell water and sewage services,from Thames Water, to itstenants.Judge Newey said the councilcontradicted the ‘2006 WaterResale Order’ as it hadeffectively “bought and re-soldwater and sewage services”while making a profit.Councillor RichardLivingstone, cabinet member forhousing, stated after the hearingthat they fundamentallydisagreed with the outcome, butstopped short of saying thecouncil would appeal the judge’sdecision.He has now confirmed thatmany of the council’s 37,000social housing tenants may beeligible for refunds of up to£240.Cllr Livingstone said:“Southwark Council hasconsidered its options in relationto the recent ruling regarding thearrangement between the counciland Thames Water over theadministration of its tenants’

water bills. “Having weighed up theoptions available and consideredthe cost to the public purse of alegal challenge, the council hasdecided not to appeal thedecision.“While we remain disappointedwith the decision, clarity aboutthis arrangement which is usedacross the country by landlordsand water companies, iswelcome, and we now want tomove forward. “The council is makingarrangements to reimburseexisting council tenants for theamount that the councilmistakenly overcharged betweenApril 2010 and July 2013.“The council will also attemptto contact former tenants fromthat period, and we will set up asystem where people can makeclaims, subject to proof oftenancy. “The council estimates thattenants who were resident for thewhole period will be eligible foran average refund ofapproximately £240. For anytenants who are in arrears, thisrefund will be used to reducetheir debt.”Speaking after the hearing inMarch, Kim Jones’s lawyerGareth Mitchell told the News:“Thames Water and SouthwarkCouncil entered into aconfidential agreement behindclosed doors which none of thetenants who have been affectedknew was happening. “We only found out about thisafter obtaining a court order thatthey disclose the agreement. “The courts decidedapproximately 37,000households had beenovercharged.”

A BERMONDSEY churchsocial club’s fundraising moneywas burgled in the early hoursof Sunday morning, leaving itsmembers “heartbroken”.Armed with crowbars andbolt cutters, the crooks arebelieved to have chosen theirmoment to strike just after thehumble function room hadfinished hosting a birthdayparty.

Among the thieves’petty spoils fromthe St Peter & TheGuardian AngelsRoman CatholicChurch were leftover booze. Butthey also madeoff with adonations-potwith funds forthe British LungFoundation.A f t e rdiscovering themess they hadleft on Sunday,the social club’schair, MichaelHannon, told theNews he was“shocked”.“The charity

money was for myd a u g h t e r ’ s

fundraising, and wehad stored in the cellar where Ithought it was safe.”Michael believes they mayhave tried to break in at 1am,when everyone had left theparty, but they were or how is amystery. “They would have set off thealarm, but no one came to

check. So after another few hoursI reckon they realised it was safeto have another go and would’vebroken in at something like4am,” Michael said.“The moment I realised waswhen I came in about 11.30am toturn the heating on and set up.“I saw the kitchen door wasajar. That’s when I knew,straight away, the place had beenburgled. It was heart-breaking.”Michael runs the club with hisdad John Hannon, who startedtaking care of the place 30 yearsago with Michael’s late mum.“We run on a shoe string and allof our members chip in to keepthe place going. It’s what the clubis all about and we’re strong forit,” Michael said.“We do charity and fundraisingall the time. None of this iscommercial. We help pubs andlocal groups and they help us inreturn. The repairs from thebreak-in will be the first timewe’ve paid for professional helpin something like fifteen years.”“It was a lot of money they took.I don’t want to say how much,but I’m going to put it all back inthe charity pot myself.“The police have told me there’sa lot of crooks targeting pubs,and they’re already a dyingbreed.” Michael added that theburglars also came across a smallamount of the money they hadhoped to donate to Tilly Browne,a 24-year-old Bermondseywoman suffering from anextremely rare cancer-causingcondition. He said: “Anyonewith a heart should give theirmoney to help Tilly’s cause,regardless of what happened tous.”Anyone with informationshould contact police by calling101.

HUNDREDS OF people paid afinal farewell to much-lovedFisher boxing match-maker ConSullivan this week. Between 300 and 400 peoplepacked out the Holy Trinity Churchin Dockhead on Monday, to pay theirrespects to Con, who had been at theBermondsey amateur boxing clubfor almost eight decades.The News reported last week howCon had passed away from cancer onMarch 17. A ‘ten bell’ salutehonoured the club stalwart at aFisher fight the following night.Con first started training at the clubas a child, while living with hisfamily in Wolseley Street, and itsoon became a central part of his life. Remembering stories from whenher dad grew up during The Blitz,Con’s daughter Joan told the Newshow he saw a priest walk intoDockhead Church, at the verymoment a doodlebug dropped fromoverhead. “He ran into the buildingto help rescue the priest,” said Joan.“And I was told dad’s dad rescuedthe cross from the church.” Con stuck with the club throughteen and adulthood, becoming thematch-maker and Fisher competitionsecretary in the 1970s. Joan said:“He wouldn’t take money from theclub so he did that job. It was his lifereally.” She remembers everySunday the family would go tochurch, “then to nan’s” and then ontothe Fisher Club.The position in the 1970s didn’tjust bring him closer to the club heloved, but also some glamour andfive minutes of fame. “Dad was thefirst person to put on a boxing showat the Savoy,” said Joan. “He wasalso involved in a programme madeby Thames TV, called ‘Tougher thanthe Average Kid’, which was allabout Fisher and another amateurboxing club. They filmed dad formonths and it included the big showat the Savoy. They showed himtelling staff that the enormouschandelier would have to be takendown.” Con was also involved in takingboxers to fights in Ireland, and evenworked with Frank Bruno in the1970s. He took Liverpool fighter,Billy Aird, into the family home

when he needed somewhere to stayin London: “We didn’t have room,but we squeezed him in,” said Joan.When many of the city’s dockerswere laid off in the 1980s, Con tookhis pay-out and bought a pub – theClarendon Arms on CamberwellNew Road. “That was another timein their lives,” said Joan. “Dad had alot of young friends, he had a lot incommon with them because of thework he did at the club. He was afriend to everyone – he liked a drinkand a night out, he was a properBermondsey man.”Later Con and his wife moved outto Hayling Island near Portsmouth,

but he would still drive up toBermondsey for the big shows. “Hecouldn’t miss them,” said Joan. “Hejust loved the club – a true Fisherboy.”Con’s commitment has beenreflected by the outpouring ofsupport the family has received sincethe news of his passing. “It’s beenamazing,” said Joan. “We’ve hadhundreds of cards and messages, allsaying how generous he was. Peoplehave said, ‘If it wasn’t for your dad Iwouldn’t have boxed – he paid formy bus fare, or my boxing boots’.We never had much but what we didhave he shared.

“He always championed others - hewas a humble man, and wouldwonder what all the fuss was aboutnow!”This caring approach was notreserved just for boxers and the club- Con nursed his wife, (also calledJoan) during her final years beforeshe passed away in 2006. Joan said:“Dad was a complete hero, his carekept her alive when she wasseriously ill. We were so proud and

grateful for the way he cared for her,and he always said that it was aprivilege to return the care and loveshe had given him.”After Con’s funeral this week, Joansaid: “The church was packed, therewas about 300 to 400 people there.There were lots of lovely stories andmessages. As one of the old boxerssaid, ‘the church was full of love’.“It was a great day for a great man.Everyone loved him.”

HUNDREDS OF hospitalappointments have beenrescheduled after a second bout of48-hour junior doctors’ strikes.The national walk-out in defiance togovernment plans to impose contractchanges, began at 8am on WednesdayApril 6, and finished at the same time onFriday.A spokesman for Guys’ and StThomas’ NHS Foundation Trustconfirmed 400 outpatient appointments– about ten per cent of the number intheir books – had been rescheduled.About the same proportion of non-urgent operations, 28 overall, have alsobeen moved.For King’s College Hospital NHSFoundation Trust, which includes thePrincess Royal University Hospital inBromley, fifteen elective-inpatient

procedures and nine non-urgentoperations had to be postponed. Thetrust will also reschedule 292 outpatientappointments. The spokesman for Guy’sand St Thomas’ said: “Senior managersand clinicians in the trust have workedclosely with trade union representativesto ensure that the quality and safety of

care we provide to patients is notcompromised when junior doctors takepart in the planned British MedicalAssociation (BMA) industrial action.“All affected patients have beencontacted by the trust in advance andtheir operation or appointmentrescheduled.”

A spokeswoman for King’s trust said:“As the figures show, our teamsresponded well and worked very hard tominimise disruption to patient care.”Under the new contract, it is widelybelieved junior doctors would see a paycut in real-terms, with their “normal”working hours of 7am-7pm, Monday-

to-Friday, being extended to 7am-10pm,Monday to Saturday.The government’s plans, led bysecretary of state for health, JeremyHunt, have also been criticised forscrapping rules that penalise hospitalsfor overworking their junior doctors.There will be new rules to stop themworking more than four nights in a row,and for their maximum hours to becapped at 72-per-week. But all juniordoctors would be likely to work twoweekends per month.In a ballot of more than 37,000 juniordoctors in England, organised by theBMA, 98 per cent voted in favour of fullstrike action. Junior doctors acrossEngland are due to go on strike for athird time between April 26 and 28.Unlike the first two rounds of strikes, thenext 48-hour walkout will see a fullexodus of junior doctors, withemergency-care staff also planning tostrike.

GGRRAANNDD OOPPEENNIINNGG A SMALL piece of Brunel’s former“eighth wonder of the world” hasreopened today, bringingRotherhithe its classiest new artsand exhibitions venue in 190 years.The Grade II* listed entrance shaftdesigned by iconic Victorian engineerIsambard Brunel was originally theworld’s first under-water transportationtunnel. Renamed the Grand Entrance Hall, theRotherhithe Street venue has beentransformed, and is accessible via amajestic new staircase and doorway

constructed by Tate Harmer architects.The 50-foot deep, vertical tunnel willbecome the new home for BrunelMuseum exhibitions, and host intimateconcerts for classical music, jazz andopera for 200 free-standing guests.“This place has a huge story to tell,”said museum director Robert Hulse.“Brunel is well-known for projects likethe Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol,but his greatest achievements were herein Rotherhithe.“Brunel’s father Marc began the tunnelwith his teenage son, and he later becamethe resident engineer.“It’s about half the size of theShakespeare’s Globe, and the entrance

was only three-foot tall before we started.“The shaft first opened in 1843 and isthe first underwater tunnel in the world.Any kind of underground train networkwill have its design traced back to thissite, and owes a debt to Brunel.“Rotherhithe is fortunate to have thissite. It’s an international civil engineeringlandmark.”The gallery space will also host tourswith recorded narration that tell the storyof the underwater parties and fun fairsthat used to be held in the tunnel withperformers and wild animals.Robert, 63, said: “When the place firstopened it was a world attraction. It had50,000 visitors in its first week and after

three months there had been a millionguests. People came from all over theempire because they couldn’t believe itwas real.”Robert says the venue will also behappy to host all manner of privateparties and weddings, and above thechamber is a cocktail bar and herb gardencalled the Midnight Apothecary.Funding for the £500,000 project wasdonated by the Association ofIndependent Museums, Biffa, and theNational Heritage LandmarksPartnership, along with SouthwarkCouncil and Transport for London.Visit www.brunel-museum.org.uk tosee what’s on at the museum.

DULWICH

AN ASPIRING East Dulwichauthor last week saw the releaseof his debut novel All theirMinds in Tandem.Set in 1879 West Virginia, fourteenyears after the American Civil war,the book explores the unreliabilityof memory.The 31-year-old’s debut is a surrealreimagining of the post-Civil time,where families and towns are still inrecovery, when in comes main-character Emerson, a man who canmake you forget, remember orrelease you from your most secretinhibitions. After five years working for Faber

in the publishing world, David, 31,of Derwent Grove, decided topursue a career in writing.“I was once told you only writeyour first novel once, so I decided totake my time on it,” he said. “Now Ican’t imagine not wanting to writenow.”The first seven months of writingwere spent in Berlin, beforereturning to Dulwich, a move whichDavid believes has influenced hiswork. He says Germany’s consciousattempt to remember their difficulthistory inspired him to explore howthe past can be re-formed in thepresent.Mr Sanger uses the novel toexplore what would happen if wecould control our memories and

whether replacing them changeswho we really are.Released on April 7 by Quercus,the novel took exactly three years tothe day to complete. While headmits his writing process was “alittle back-to-front”, he said hewould not change it for this novel. “If I had set out to write a book

based in 1879 based on researchfirst, it would have been completelydifferent,” he said.“I went with my gut and wroteabout what interested me andthought I’ll see where it goes. Don’tbe disheartened when you arestaring at a blank page. Be patientwith it and keep everything. There’sa glint of something there amongeverything else.”

A FORMER Southwark Councilofficer has been convicted ofhelping fraudsters find councilhomes on fake homelessnessclaims.Trudy Ali-Balogun, a homeless-caseworker, handled 24 bogus casesbetween 2003 and 2005.She appeared at Inner LondonCrown Court on April 1 with four ofher clients: Biayo Awotiwon ofDevon Mansions in Tooley Street,Adeyemi Olalekan Oyedele of WebbStreet in Bermondsey, KudiartuFalana of Inville Road in Walworth,and Joseph Akin Olaiya ofGillingham, Kent.Among the dodgy documents sheknowingly approved were false birthcertificates for children who neverexisted, as well as made-up wageslips and bank statements, and fakeforeign passports.Ali-Balogun abused her position

with the council by using herknowledge of housing legislation tomake the fraudsters “homeless”.It was later discovered that theapplicants she was responsible forprocessing did not have theimmigration-status required to claimthe cash and accommodation they hadswindled.The 55-year-old, who studiedcriminology at university, was foundguilty by a jury on Friday April 1 inInner London Crown Court. It took only 17 hours for the jury toreach their guilty verdict. Ali-Balogun, of Keogh Road in Newham,is now due to be sentenced for thecharge of misconduct in a publicoffice and neglecting to perform herduty. Awotiwon will be sentenced forthe charge of making false statementsto the officer. Oyedele was foundguilty of three counts of using a falsedocument, and of obtaining propertyby deception. Falana will also besentenced for obtaining property bydeception, and on five counts of

making false statements to an officer.Olaiya’s crimes were: using a falsedocument accepted to be genuine,eight counts of using falsedocuments, and one count ofattempted deception.They were all caught under thecouncil’s Operation Bronze, aninvestigation based on data receivedfrom the Met Police’s OperationAmberhill and Cabinet Office'sNational Fraud Initiative.Councillor Fiona Colley, SouthwarkCouncil’s cabinet member forfinance, modernisation andperformance, said: “What thesepeople have done is effectivelystealing council housing from thosewho need it. “I am delighted that these fraudsterswill be punished, sending a strongmessage to any other would-becriminals out there. We will now putour energies into getting back thehomes our residents so dearly need,and the taxpayers’ money which wasstolen from the public purse.” Trudy Ali-Balogun

PLANS TO transform thehistoric Electric Theatre inPeckham into a café, bar andrestaurant have been submitted,after locals fought off attempts tobuild luxury flats. Bermondsey-based Frame Propertyhopes to redevelop the four-storey133 Rye Lane building, next to theBussey Building, and add a two-storey roof extension. The firm’s co-founder, NickMansour, has already had oneplanning application denied. Theunsuccessful request to convert thebuilding into 11 luxury apartmentsand a mixture of retail andcommercial floor space was made inOctober. But strong opposition to the flats-development rallied around a

petition, set up by the BusseyBuilding’s owners, which gainedover 15,400 signatures, and theproposal was withdrawn inDecember. Campaign leader Mickey Smith,who runs the CLF Art Cafe nextdoor, previously said: “Theintroduction of residential apartmentsat 133 Rye Lane is fundamentallywrong and will stop Peckham'screative and cultural rise. Heraldingthe beginning of the end of whatmakes Peckham so special.”Nick Mansour said: “In response tothe feedback which we’ve had andrecognising Peckham’s growing anddiverse business community, we willbe developing plans for an entirelynon-residential scheme.”In hopes to “develop positively overthe coming years” with the residents,the new proposed development couldsee the original Edwardian building

refurbished, adapted and extendedinto a mixed-use scheme of studiosand office spaces. Frame Propertyhas estimated that the new plans forSE15 will generate approximately

100 new jobs through the newcommercial area and office space.It also says that the two-storey roof-top extension will be discrete andwill significantly enhance the Rye

Lane Peckham Conservation Area.Currently, 133 Rye Lane is set overfive storeys, with Ash meat and fishshop on the ground floor and adisused nursery above.

There is no loopholein council’s new ruleIN REPONSE to your article‘Campaigners worry over‘loophole’ on affordable homes’,Southwark News April 7th, 2016.We care deeply about socialhousing and have one of the bestrecords in the country for securingnew affordable homes fromdevelopers. We have also started thebiggest council home buildingprogramme in the country. We know that our residents wantthe planning system to be moretransparent, which is why we haveintroduced new rules to makeViability Assessments for all newdevelopments public. We areabsolutely clear that this includesany developer that re-applies andattempts to reduce the amount ofaffordable housing in their scheme. There is no loophole in this ruleand it’s completely disingenuous foropposition councillors and others tosuggest otherwise.At a time when Government hasslashed funding for new affordablehomes, we know how important it isto hold developers to account andsecure as many affordable homesfrom them as possible. Southwark is leading the way onthis issue and our plans go furtherthan most other councils. We willcontinue to build as many genuinelyaffordable homes as possible, andwe hope that by increasingtransparency we can maintain andbuild public support for thedevelopment our borough and ourresidents need to tackle the housingcrisis.Cllr Mark Williams, Cabinet

member for regeneration and newhomes

Where do mayoralcandidates stand onhomelessness? WE WILL soon be electing anew Mayor and LondonAssembly. This is a realopportunity for new ideas todeal with one of the challengesthat tarnishes the image of ourgreat city - homelessness.The numbers of people sleepingrough in London have doubled since2010. I know from my ownexperience as a volunteer withCrisis at Christmas thathomelessness is a devastating anddangerous experience. And it’s expensive too; as a societythe fallout from homelessness costsus. According to some estimates wecould save between £3,000 -£18,000 per person if we helpedpeople as soon as they first become

homeless.The Mayor of London has thepower to make an impact onhomelessness, including currently a£34 million budget. The candidates must now committo take action to end rough sleeping,prioritise prevention, help people torent and end destitution. These proposals are at the heart ofthe Lead London Home campaignsupported by Crisis and otherhomelessness organisations. I support this campaign and I callupon the Mayoral candidates andour local London Assemblycandidates to join me without delay.James Trewby, Bermondsey

Rotherhithe will needits own sorting officeFURTHER TO Mr BrianHodge’s letter in SouthwarkNews 7th April, 2016, “Noinfrastructure to supportdevelopment”.He forgot to add the Post OfficeSorting Office in Mandela Waywould be inadequate as well, havingto cope with 6000 more postaladdresses. It would then be about time thatRotherhithe got its own SortingOffice rather than residents havingto go to SE1 to pick up undeliveredpackages.Andy Hind, Rotherhithe

Stop teenage mentalhealth crises earlyMY LOCAL MP, Helen Hayes,wrote in her column SouthwarkNews March 10th, 2016, that weface a crisis in mental healthcare for children. Ms Hayes recalled a meeting shehad with a distressed local mum,whose teenage son has had to waitmonths for treatment or evenassessment. Ms Hayes is right to call on the

Government to give mental healththe same attention as physicalhealth. But nearly three quarters ofmental health problems are rootedin early adverse childhoodexperiences. With health budgetsbeing squeezed, one exciting way tomake progress and savings is to dofar more to prevent harm before ithappens.This is where WAVE Trust’s 70/30campaign comes in. As 70/30’slocal ambassador in Dulwich, Irecently sat down with Ms Hayesand introduced her to the campaign.I explained our ambitious goal: toreduce child maltreatment in the UKby 70% by 2030. We can achieve this by tackling theroot causes of child maltreatment.These might be parental mentalhealth problems, domestic violence,substance abuse or a whole basketof other issues. By helping mumsand dads to deal with theseproblems, alongside other benefits,you can prevent many children fromdeveloping mental health problemslater in life. We can give thousands of kids abetter shot at life while savingmoney. Surely that makes sense?To get involved in the 70/30campaign or find out more, visitwww.wavetrust.org.

ROTHERHITHE ARTIST Ed Grayheads to the West End for his latestexhibition of paintings inspired bycity life, writes Henry Raven...Hot on the heels of his winterresidency in the gallery at the top of theGherkin, Ed Gray has relocated to anexciting new West End gallery space foran exhibition of paintings entitled‘Floating Worlds’, where a wholephalanx of Southwark’s glitteratialongside the capital’s cognoscenti hadgathered for this new show. Zari Gallery, recently opened by GeorginaDhillon, lies in the heart of Fitzrovia andaims to showcase the work of artists with aninternational outlook. Speaking about theexhibition Gray said, ‘Paintings are likemicrocosms or floating worlds to me. Mypaintings are stories about the human spiritand this exhibition brings together paintingsfrom recent years that have a globaloutlook’. Ed Gray is more known for his muchsought after London works but this showcelebrates five more international cities:Mexico, New York, Tokyo, Bangkok, CapeTown. These vibrant paintings are crammedfull of details, contrasting spirituality inscenes of Buddhism, animism and a Baptistcongregation in Harlem, with the

consumerism of Tokyo and Coney Island,and even the secular religion of football in aCape Town township league match. As with all Ed Gray’s work there are signsand symbols hidden beneath these everydayscenes.‘The paintings I made during this time arelinked by the phrase ‘Floating World’ or‘Ukiyoe’ in Japanese. It was an artistic styleused by artists in Japan from around 1600onwards. Artists like Hokusai and Hiroshigepainted the pleasure seeking aspects of theurban lifestyle in Japan. They were theirequivalent of our 18th century Londonpainter William Hogarth I guess’. Gray revealed that the Japanese‘Ukiyoe’ word has a double meaningthat refers to the earthly plane of deathand rebirth from which Buddhists seekrelease. ‘I like that idea- the yin and theyang of life all mixed up in visual form.’‘Floating Worlds: Paintings fromMexico, New York, Tokyo, Bangkokand London’Zari Gallery 73 Newman Street,London, W1T 3EJ until April 27thTel: 0207 637 3544.

RIGHT LET'S not beat around thebush! The Rose Theatre is already oneof my favourite venues with its richhistorical past - but it goes fromstrength to strength with eachproduction. Much Ado About Nothingleft me grinning and feeling that, yes,love is the cure, writes SusanHallissey...Set in June 1945 at the end of the war,Benedick, the gloriously outrageous AdamElliott, and the love struck Claudio (ClarkAlexander) are keen to lose themselves inpartying the night away. However, theymeet their matches in Beatrice (RhiannonSommers) and Hero (Genie Kaminski).The ongoing battle of wits betweenBenedick and Beatrice works beautifullyagainst a backdrop of boogie-woogie bluesmusic and dance. The first dance scene wasinventive and unexpected! Later as DonPedro (Ian Hathaway ) let loose with his'Hey-de hey-de hey-de hey'. I only wished- and this is rare, trust me - that the audiencecould get up and join in with the gifted cast!What an all singing, all dancing, allmusically talented ensemble!This being Shakespeare there had to bebackstabbing and skullduggery -falseidentities, and even death (sort of!). Sufficeto say as a comedy it all worked out well inthe end!The banter between Benedick andBeatrice turns to love and I knowmy companion also felt a lumpin her throat when they finallymade their feelings known. I wassitting close to Sommers whenshe declared her love and wastruly choked with emotion! Elliot

was hilariousas heprowledaround theaudience, hiscomedictiming was atreat.Sommersand Elliotprovided a most effective and captivatingrelationship - the rest of the cast, energeticenough to seduce me into the world oflove!It's been said before and no doubt again:this really is Much Ado About Something!

FIFTY-SEVEN-year-oldhistorian Helena Wojtczak has aproblem. Through a series ofbizarre coincidences, Helenafinds herself inseparablyattached to one of Southwark’s;possibly the world’s most famouscriminals, writes OwenSheppard...At the turn of the 1897 theintelligent, handsome and above allcunning George Chapman lived inthe Finsbury area of London. The Polish migrant had just burntdown his own pub, The Prince ofWales, purely for the insurance pay-out. He had lived there with MarySpink, 37, the first of three womenChapman went on to murder in themost sadistic of ways.Rather than take up blazes or arms,his game was to sneak small doses ofa tasteless toxin called Tar Tar Emetiinto his mistresses’ food and drink.Helena says Chapman lived withSpink “in sin”, something “virtuallyunheard of in their time”, and thatafter her death in 1899, her gormlessdoctor’s verdict was that she hadsimple died of “natural causes”.Next he moved to Union Street inBorough, and used his payout to buythe Monument pub. A youngbarmaid, Bessie Taylor, became hisnext victim after offering her a job

and digs at his upstairs flat.“He started poisoning her as well,”Helena said. “The poison made hisvictims sick with severe diarrhea, butit took weeks to kill them, and theywould eventually succumb toexhaustion and dehydration.“With each of his victims he wouldplay the loving, concerned husband,and would call on doctors and nursesto come and stay. But none of themcould understand what wascausing it.”Poor Bessie died onValentine’s Day in 1901. Stillthe ever-popular andunsuspecting land lord of theMonument; Chapman put upanother advert for thebarmaid job, and along camenineteen-year-old MaudMarsh, who was sixteenyears his junior.Within weeks Chapmanwas up to his old tricks. But he tookanother reckless gamble that yearand decided to set fire to theMonument, only this time the planbackfired and his suspicious insurersrefused to pay him. The oldMonument building was laterdemolished and lost forever.So in January 1902, Chapman andMarsh took their business to TheCrown in Borough High Street.

Chapman soon resumed his sinistergames, and as Maud grew sicker heeven pushed his luck by inviting herparents to come and comfort her,while he poisoned her under theirnoses.“They took Maud to Guys’Hospital,” Helena said. “For a monthshe stayed there and actually startedto get better, and no one knew why.“Then as soon as she was discharged

and went back – guess what – hestarted poisoning her again.”Maud died on October 22, 1902,and this is how all came to an end.Maud’s parents wanted to know howChapman’s last “wife” died.That was enough to make everyonesuddenly suspicious. Chapman wasarrested on October 25 and chargedwith Maud’s murder.The police ordered the bodies of

Spink and Bessie to be exhumed sotheir bodies could be examinedfurther. Eventually they had enoughevidence to prosecute, and he wassent for trial at the Old Bailey inMarch 1903. Crowds packed out the court roomand every paper in the Britain andthe colonies covered it.One round of feverish headlines

quoted a police chiefinspector Abberline, whohad said on the record hesuspected Chapman mayhave been the missing Jackthe Ripper. Chapman spoke only tosay the words “not guilty”and was convicted for threecounts of murder on March19. He was hanged at 9amon April 7 in WandsworthPrison.

Helena released her secondbiography ‘Jack the Ripper at Last?’on April 7, having discovered a floodof new information about hischildhood from Polish publicrecords.Helena said: “I came across himbecause of my connection withHastings. It was in Hastings that hebought the poison, and it’s where Ilive now.

“But I also lived in the East Endwhere Chapman lived with Spink,and I also lived in Southwark for along time. So it’s like I’ve followedin his footsteps all the way. That’swhat made it impossible for me notto follow his story.”

“With each of his victimshe would play the loving,concerned husband”

24 WHAT’S ON www.southwarknews.co.uk/food Southwark News, Thursday April 14, 2016

I HAVE never really had sushibefore, and bar the odd cod andchips, nor have I ever been thatbig on fish. Obviously then,choosing a sushi restaurant formy debut restaurant-review forthe News made perfect sense,writes Owen Sheppard...We all know with Chinese orIndian eateries that even at the mostauthentic seeming restaurant, whatyou invariably get is a western takeon the original cuisine. But PoppyHana’s ten-page menu of more than150 items straddled that line to justthe right degree.With so much choice, guests’curiosity could turn to hesitance. Sowe four sushi novices decided toapply the same starter-to-maintemplate as you would in any BellaItalia or Bill’s. A to-share-sized dish of eight

veggie rice-rolls, and another with atwelve-piece sushi selection, batedus sufficiently for the main, andoccupied us long-enough to leave ashort wait for the next round.The two dishes of bitesize pieceswere perfect for some light-heartedchopstick re-acquaintance for thosewho will need it. The veggie rice-rolls, typical for their pristine andminimal appearance, came in anassortment of pickle, avocado, andcucumber in seaweed coatings,their delicate flavours beg you notto rush them. Our opposite plate of various fishover rice included of Nigri(salmon), Ebi (shrimp), Suzuki (seabass), Ika (squid), Saba (Mackerel),Hamachi (yellow-tail tuna), Unagi(Eel), and four individuals Maki

(rice rolls) with tuna, salmon,California and Tobiko (fish eggs)ingredients. For any sushi newcomer this dishis the opportunity to vanquish allyour seafood anxieties in oneserving. It’s a decision you won’tregret, and the rapid-fire samplingof so many new ingredients givesway to a quick sense ofachievement that implores you tokeep trying more. By this point we had all come to averdict that the Japanese Asahi beerwas another noteworthy new find.It’s one I had previously felt put-offfrom buying elsewhere because ofthe price-tag. Here, it proved a lightand classy yet reasonably-pricedaccompaniment.Having doubled our collective

knowledge of fish species, nextcame the mains. Hearty helpings ofhighly accessible curries andnoodle dishes in mild sauces hit thespot. Though admittedly notpushing the boat out too far, I optedfor Chicken Yaki Udon;wholesome, brown-wheat noodleswhich, due to their sheer size, arefar easier to handle with chopsticksthan regular noodles.With a satisfied palette, feeling farbroader about the middle, and witha much wider vocabulary, there waslittle to keep us from headingelsewhere for drinks and a changeof scenery. But Poppy Hana’s unusualcombination of a laid-back, invitingatmosphere, with a classy décor –all black tiles and dark-wood

paneling in the classical Japanesestyle – were enough to keep usfeeling at home.It would take several more visitsfor our party to fully explore andunderstand the menu, and by thatyou point you suspect Poppy Hanamight have won you over for life.

38 NON-LEAGUE www.southwarknews.co.uk/sport Southwark News, Thursday April 14, 2016

FISHER FC may have lost theirlatest league encounter at theweekend but in the last sevendays other results have ensuredthey will avoid relegation thisseason.On Saturday the Black and Whitesfell to a 3-0 defeat against Corinthianat Champion Hill with MichaelHagan netting a brace and RyanCroucher also scoring for the visitors.But by the weekend the Fish knewthey would be plying their trade inthe Southern Counties East FootballLeague next season as midweekresults meant they weremathematically safe from relegation.

The critical contest was a 6-0reverse suffered by bottom sideHolmesdale that meant they hadfailed to avoid the trap door thisseason.After Saturday Fisher are only oneplace above Holmesdale in the tablebut are three points off thirteenthplace in a congested bottom half ofthe league.Fisher’s achievement is nothing tobe sniffed at as they are one of a fewclubs who operate with no playingbudget at this level, something theywill hope to change when they moveto their new ground in Rotherhithenext season.

This Saturday Fisher play their finalaway fixture of this campaign when

they travel to Cray Valley PM for acontest that gets underway at 3pm.

STANSFELD CAPPED a fineweek by defeating Bexley 1-0 in aKent County Premier Leaguecontest that moved them up tosecond place in the table.The victory came on the back of theprevious weekend’s victory in theKent Reliance IntermediateChallenge Shield Final, although thestandard of play in the Bexley win, indifficult conditions, bared littlecomparison.In a game of few chances BillyJolley netted the winner from thepenalty spot four minutes from time,just five minutes after Bexley misseda spot kick of their own.Stansfeld manager Lloyd Bradleysaid: “After the euphoria off lastweek’s cup final triumph, this reallywas a reality check for myself andthe players. “But I was well pleased with theboy’s attitude and application. Ispoke before the game about that andagain at half time, about just gettinga scruffy 1-0 win and scruffy itcertainly was. “The fact that the result took us upinto second place in the table, afterErith 147 slipped up, made it all themore satisfying. Bexley have been ona good run of form of late, so this wasa very good result for us.”Stansfeld reserves remain top oftheir league despite throwing away atwo goal lead to draw 2-2 at home toChipstead. Mark McKenna and Harry Sewellgot the Stansfeld goals.

FISH LOSE BUT AVOID DROP Stansfeld up to second spot

SOUTHWARK LEGEND'S U18basketball sides season came to anend last Saturday thanks to a 46-36quarter final playoff loss to BucksHornets in Buckinghamshire.The Peckham side topped theirdivision to make the play offs and thiswas their first quarter final appearancein post season, but they came up shortin the last eight contest at the weekend.Across the campaign the Legends lostjust three times in nineteen outings.Head coach Rotimi Adeeko said: “Itwas a good run although we felt that we

BYRON WEBSTER is a fan ofboxing and mixed martial arts.After last Saturday’s 3-1 win overShrewsbury, a number of theplayers watched Anthony Joshuabeat Charles Martin and becomeworld heavyweight champion. There are some parallels betweenfight sports and football: The aim isto restrict an opponent’s chances oflanding a blow while probing forcounterattacking opportunities.With box office pay-per-viewsales boosted by the hype offighters talking up their chances orslagging off their opponent, mosttend to be as quick with theirmouths as they are with their fists. There was fighting talk in thehome dressing room last Saturday,with Millwall trailing Shrewsbury1-0 and facing a first defeat at TheDen in seven matches.

Webster, though, prefers to fire offthe verbals between the white lines. “I find it easier to do my talkingon the pitch than I do in thechanging room,” Webster admitted.“Most of it comes from themanager in there and he has hisway of saying it.“In the first half we found itdifficult but we got into thedressing room, had a few wordsand put it right in the second half. “Teams are going to come andrespect us more and put peoplebehind the ball and try to do us onthe counterattack. So it’s up to us totry and nullify that threat and thentry to break them down.“It’s fair play to the players. It’s along time since we were a goalbehind and we showed anotherstring to our bow, that when we arebehind we know how to go on andwin the game.”In fact, it was the ninth timeMillwall had been behind in a

league match at home this season –and the first time they came back towin three points. Ben Thompson and SteveMorison scored within four minutesof each other, before Lee Gregory’sinjury-time penalty sealed a 3-1win. The performance was anothermilestone in the progress of theside. After so much talk of thedifficulties at home earlier in theseason, Millwall have now lost justonce in the league at The Den thisyear. The Lions have also conceded justonce at home in their last six, andWebster revealed that defensiveexcellence is also partly down tosome strong words boss Neil Harrisdelivered to his squad in trainingrecently. Webster said: “We’re a happygroup, and we are putting the workin, but maybe when it’s time toconcentrate a little bit on set plays,

for instance, (we weren’t doing it).It’s not a thrilling part of the thingswe need to do in training, but it’ssomething really important. “There was a bit of banter goingon and the manager brought it toour attention. The standard isalways high, but we might havebeen having a joke doing set plays.There are some naughty players atthe back! It’s not a nice thing forhim to bring to our attention but hehas to do it.”Harris’ reminder to his players oftheir responsibilities has workedand their string of solid defensivedisplays is one of the reasons whythey find themselves fourth in thetable and odds-on to at least securea place in the play-offs. And with just five fixtures left,Webster stressed concentrationwon’t drop between now and May8. “We’ve got a target to reach andhopefully that can happen,” he said.“We’ll keep plugging away.”

Harris: We havea point to prove SATURDAY’S CLASH withCoventry is a chance for Millwallto measure their progress afterthey were “outclassed” by thesame opposition earlier thisseason, according to manager NeilHarris. The Lions lost 4-0 to Coventry inAugust, the second of four defeats in arow at The Den that demonstrated thesize of the task to recover fromrelegation to League One. Millwall were eleven points behindCoventry as recently as January 12, buta run of just two wins in fifteen forTony Mowbray’s side has seen themplummet down the table. Over the same period, Millwall havelost just two fixtures in sixteen and arecurrently twelve points ahead of theSky Blues. But Harris still believes his playershave “a point to prove” this weekendafter August’s chastening experience. “It hurt at the time and it wasprobably the biggest learning curve ofthe season,” Harris said. “They weremuch better than us on the day, weperformed really poorly and mentallywe were really weak. “I think it highlighted if any of uswere naïve in thinking it was going tobe a quick fix, that day really showedus it was going to be a long-term plan. “It’s been a long time coming for us,it’s an opportunity to try and put it right.It’s an opportunity to judge ourselvesagainst a very good Coventry side thatoutclassed us on the day. It’ll show ushow far we’ve come as a group. “I’m looking forward to seeing thechallenge my players face, how wedeal with it and what have we learnedover the course of the last eightmonths. “I want to see the mentality of thegroup – they’ve got a point to prove.”

Martin returns WINGER LEE Martin is backtraining with Millwall. The 29-year-old has been on loanwith Northampton since January, buthasn’t featured since their leaguefixture against Newport on March 25,when he came off at half-time. Cobblers boss Chris Wilder wants totake the opportunity to play some ofhis own contracted players, with hisside having already secured promotionto League One. Wilder said: “I thought it was theright time for Nicky Adams to comeback into the team. “I could bring Lee in and drag himdown to Exeter, take him down toYeovil. But I wanted to play NickyAdams, while Alfie Potter is back fitand Lawson D’Ath is back fit.“Ricky Holmes is playing well. Iwanted to give Sam Hoskins a go too,so we had plenty of options and it wasa sensible decision.“Lee came here and played a part forus, but I thought it was the proper andcorrect thing to do for Lee, for us, andfor Millwall.” Martin, who is still registered withNorthampton and available to play forthem should they have injuryproblems, is out of contract thissummer.


FEW WOULD have predictedthe subsequent fortunes of bothsides after Coventry’s emphatic4-0 win at The Den in August.But, a win for the Lions at theRicoh Arena this weekend couldsee them not only potentially moveto within four points of theautomatic promotion places but itwould also put 15 points betweenthemselves and Tony Mowbray’sside. Coventry were awesome inAugust, but their awful recentform has almost destroyed theirtop-six hopes. Harris’anger after that defeat intheir second league match of theseason not only reflected howlow Millwall were at the time,

but now also illustrates how farthey have come since. "It really hurts, to be honest, andI'm not sure it hurts some ofthose players in the dressingroom as much as it hurts me,”Harris said immediatelyafterwards. "I'm disappointed with all thenegativity."I think it's clear to me thatsome of the players are strugglingto play here at the moment and,until there's some results on theboard, I certainly have to reflectthat in my team selection."It will certainly be reflected thisSaturday: Six players who startedthat fixture are not in contention,either through injury or becauseothers have overtaken them inimportance to the team. Two of those who came on ashalf-time substitutes against theSky Blues are now two of theform players in the starting XI.Shane Ferguson and Ben

Thompson are also at least two ofthe reasons for a sense around theclub that this season could climaxto something special. Ferguson came on for MarkBeevers against Coventry in thesecond league match of theseason. Beevers was left out ofthe next matchday squad, againstBarnsley, but he is now one ofthe best central defenders in thedivision. His progress alone is asymbol of the growth of this side. Harris could decide to pickFerguson at left-back thisweekend. The Millwall bossswitched the Northern Irelandinternational to the position athalf-time against Shrewsbury lastSaturday. Aiden O’Brien came onand Millwall played withrenewed vigour to overturn aone-goal deficit to win 3-1 andmove up to fourth in the table. Coventry, meanwhile, lost 1-0to Wigan, the league’soutstanding side. That will have

been no consolation as theycurrently sit thirteenth in thetable, eleven points off the topsix. Their play-off hopes arevirtually over. They were strong favourites towin promotion to theChampionship when theyenjoyed an excellent start to theseason playing some of the bestfootball in League One. Yet nowthey must face the starkknowledge they are likely to beplaying at a ground next seasonthat is a depressing reminder oftheir recent past: Northamptonguaranteed promotion fromLeague Two last weekend,meaning Coventry will return toSixfields where they played for aseason following a rent disputewith the owners of the RicohArena. Millwall can deepen theirproblems this weekend, andHarris has revenge in mind afterthat early-season humiliation.

There was some surprise amongLions fans that Ndjoli wasn’t given aprofessional deal after he put in someeye-catching performances for theElite Development Squad this season.And he is now trying to earn a deal atthe Championship club.

SHREWSBURY 1

Date: Saturday April 9 2016Attendance: 9583Man of the match: Ben Thompson Referee: Tim Robinson

EARLIER IN the season, thesituation Millwall found themselvesin at half-time last Saturday mighthave developed into a prolongedstruggle to rescue something fromthe contest.After an utterly forgettable first half,in which Larnell Cole scored the onlygoal, the only moment of excitement inthe match, Millwall finally burst intolife.And it took a burst of inspiration toturn this match around. This Saturday,Ben Thompson will come up againstthe side against whom he made hisleague debut. The timing of his firstleague goal for the Lions, then, wasappropriate. It was tempting to think Neil Harrishad dusted down the hairdryer at half-time because this was a Millwallperformance that needed the cobwebsblown off it. But, in the 57th minute, Thompsonprovided the spark after MickeyDemetriou had only managed to clear

Shane Ferguson’s corner to the edge ofthe box. Thompson controlled the ballon his chest and fired a majestic half-volley that whipped past Mark Halsteadin the Shrews goal. Halstead’safternoon would get worse later. Thompson has been threatening to dothat all season. His first goal for theLions was against Wycombe in the FACup in December but that high, just likethat debut when Coventry won 4-0, wastinged with disappointed. But this wasdifferent and he said he had difficultysleeping on Saturday night after scoringMillwall’s 5,500th goal in leaguefootball. Earlier, just five minutes intothe game, it was Thompson’s midfieldpartner Shaun Williams who had lostthe ball to allow Shrewsbury score theiropener, Abu Ogogo moving the ballquickly to Sullay Kaikai breaking infrom the left. The on-loan CrystalPalace player spotted Cole running intospace behind Millwall’s flat defencewith Joe Martin out of position, and hefinished past Archer. Williams almost atoned for hismistake when he headed Ferguson’sfree-kick just wide, but that was about

the only time Millwall threatened in apoor opening 45 minutes. But Thompson’s goal lifted his side.Four minutes later it was from anotherset-piece that Millwall went ahead,Steve Morison rising above Mat Sadlerto nod past Halstead. Millwall never looked likesurrendering that lead and stretched it inadded time. It was difficult not to feelsorry for Halstead as a poor back-passmeant Lee Gregory was runningtowards his goal unhindered. Gregoryknocked the ball past the goalkeeper butHalstead caught him with hisoutstretched arm, and referee TimRobinson had an easy decision to makewhen he produced the red card. WithMicky Mellon having used all hissubstitutes, Demetriou went in goal andthough he guessed correctly he couldn’tget to Gregory’s spot-kick. Gregory and Morison now have 39goals between them this season in allcompetitions, and it’s likely they’ll needto keep up that rate if Millwall are torealise their promotion dreams.Barnsley’s win over Oldham onTuesday night keeps the pressure on the

four sides in the play-off spots. Harris was asked afterwards aboutreaching a season-high position offourth, but his answer was the same asit’s always been this season – the focusis on the next fixture. Results didn’t gotheir way on Tuesday night, withWalsall’s win at Gillingham pushing theLions down to fifth. Milllwall still have it on their ownhands, though, with five matches left tosecure their place in the top six. If itwasn’t for Barnsley’s absurd run – theywere bottom of the table at thebeginning of December – the Lionswould almost be assured of that now. Scanning over the fixtures they haveleft, and given their form this year,Millwall supporters will likely have tocancel any holiday plans for May – andautomatic promotion is not beyondthem yet. No one can predict if this kind ofpressure will cause them to falter, butMillwall look like they have thecapacity and momentum to capitalise ifBurton, with just two wins in eight,continue to stumble. It’s building to quite the climax.

GOALDEN MOMENTS

BEN THOMPSON couldn’t sleeplast Saturday – but for verydifferent reasons to his last restlessnight after he had made his leaguedebut against Saturday’sopponents Coventry City inAugust. Back in the first month of the seasonthe midfielder came on at half-timewith the Lions in the middle of amauling by the Sky Blues. Three-nildown, it amounted to little more than adamage-limitation exercise as Millwallwent on to lose 4-0. Thompson’s boss Neil Harris washeavily critical of his playersafterwards, but for the young midfielderit was mixed emotions. He’d just made his first seniorcompetitive league appearance for hisboyhood club, so messages ofcongratulations from friends and familyswirled around with the disappointmentof a humiliating result and therealisation he’d achieved a dream toplay for the club he’d watched from theWembley stands in the 2010 play-offfinal. Thompson’s first-ever league goal, tohelp turn around an awkward matchagainst Shrewsbury last weekend, wasalso the stuff of dreams: A perfect

connection with the ball to send adipping half-volley into the corner ofthe net in front of The Cold Blow Laneend. And it was crucial: Millwall hadn’twon any of the other eight leaguematches at The Den in which they’dfallen behind this season. “The ball came out and I saw a gap,”Thompson explained. “It bounced offmy chest and it cameup for me perfectly. Iwas very, very happy itwent in. I needed onebecause I’d beenwaiting for a goal for awhile. I’m over themoon it went in. “I didn’t know whatto do to celebrate, I justran about and slid in thecorner and the boysjumped on top of me.Everyone was buzzingfor me. “I dreamt aboutscoring at The Den, allthe fans going mad. And it was animportant goal as well which made iteven better. I couldn’t sleep that night. “After my last goal I said I’d be morecomposed with my next celebration butthe emotions get the better of you. “In the changing room afterwards Ihad about 40 or 50 texts from friendsand family congratulating me. I’ve a lotof friends who are Millwall fans. Theycan be critical of me when I’m notdoing well but quick to praise me when

I do.”The goal, his second for Millwall afterhe scored against Wycombe in the FACup in December, capped a whirlwindlast two months for Thompson. In thattime he has progressed from feeling hisway into the first team, with all thenatural ups and downs Harris said heexpects to be part of that journey, to

arguably now being the most importantplayer in that midfield unit. After ShaunWilliams had returned from suspensionThompson kept his place againstDoncaster alongside Jimmy Abdou. Hehas started the last nine matches, withMillwall losing just one of them. Not that he’s getting carried away withhis own form or with the buildingexcitement as Millwall continue toclimb the table. Thompson watched

Anthony Joshua fight for the worldheavyweight boxing title on Saturdaynight – “chilling on the sofa withfriends” – and took his girlfriend,Georgia, to dinner on Sunday tocelebrate her birthday.Harris questioned some of theyounger players’ focus recently, but thatwon’t be a problem for Thompson.

“I know you’ve got tostay humble andgrounded,” Thompsonsaid. “I never get tooahead of myself, that’snot me. I never get toolow, either. I prefer tostay at a steady pace.On Saturday I justwanted to get threepoints, like all the boys,no one really cares whoscores the goals to winthe game. “After the game thefirst couple of daysyou’re still excited,

especially if you’ve won and you scorea goal. But I go into training the nextweek with the same attitude and I wantto win again on Saturday.”The result and the manner of it lastweekend marked a new point in thisteam’s maturity. Where before thefrustration in the stands might havefiltered through to the players and putdoubt into their performances, this timeHarris brought on Aiden O’Brien forJoe Martin and said he had “four or five

minutes” to speak to the players aboutplaying with expression in the secondhalf. It was a completely differentperformance after the break andultimately a comfortable win. As a Millwall fan Thompsonunderstands expectations, but he alsoknows that it falls to the players tochange the atmosphere in the stadium. “We didn’t have the best of starts, thefirst half wasn’t the best to watch for thefans,” Thompson admitted. “We weredisappointed and getting booed off isn’tgreat, but that’s the way Millwall fansare, you’ve got to deal with it and suckit up. Personally, I know very well thatMillwall fans will get on your back soyou’ve just got to get out there andprove them wrong.“They always demand the best of us,and we’ve been playing really welllately. It can’t always happen everyweek but we’ll always give it 100 percent. We want to show what Millwall isall about.”This weekend at the Ricoh ArenaMillwall have the chance to gain ameasure of revenge after losing by theirbiggest margin of the season toCoventry. The Lions and Thompsonhave come a long way since, and he ispromising it won’t be repeated. “It was difficult and a verydisappointing result,” he said. “The factit was my league debut was a littlehighlight but Saturday will be a muchdifferent game, we won’t let thathappen again.”

it was worth us having a look. He’scome in for us to check out hispersonality, to see what he’s like as alad – and he’s a smashing boy. “And then obviously we wanted togive him the opportunity to impress,and he did that on Monday. So we’llsee where it goes now. “He was here for a week. His clubHorley Town have a couple of biggames coming up so he’s going to goback and play for them. “We’ll be speaking to them in duecourse to see if we will take it further.”

Harris has almost a full squad to choosefrom for the clash with the Sky Blues, withonly Shaun Cummings currentlyunavailable. And he admitted he is pleased with howfew injuries he has had to contend with thisseason. “We’ve been fortunate,” Harris said.“Tony was an impact one, ShaunCummings is out long term. “Jimmy Abdou got an impact injury andEd Upson a muscle one againstPeterborough, but we’ve been in a goodplace this year. “It has been a long five months for Tonyand he wants to play as quickly as possible,but we won’t rush him. Having him backfit and involved is a big thing for him, andit’s big for us having our club captainavailable.”
