Television What To Watch Othello shoots hoops: Mekhi Phifer as the jealous guy Todays highlights With Colin Hume Pick Of The Day O BBC1, 11.45 Giving Shakespeare a makeover is a hazardous business but 2001 drama O does everything right, keeping the themes intact while blending in a few modern concerns. Josh Hartnett plays a drug-dealing Hugo/Iago to Mekhi Phifers jealous Odin/Othello, furious that his basketball coach father pays more attention to Phifers all-conquering sports star than to him. Intriguingly, you sympathise the most with Hartnetts melancholy soul, who declares that one of these days, everyones gonna pay attention to me. Come the films finale, everyone does. The Inbetweeners Channel 4, 10.50pm The last day of term for the boys should mean revision for exams but, unsurprisingly, attention turns to girls and practically every other distraction. Highlights in this typically splendid series closer include neanderthal Jay (James Buckley) showing his sensitive side (a rarity) and studious Will (Simon Bird) consuming copious amounts of Pro Plus and energy drinks with spectacular consequences.

But before the season starts, hes putting his best foot forward for Oxfam Ireland and the Sue Ryder Foundation Interview by Lucy White My best memory is my goal against Holland. It was an unbelievable feeling to score such an important goal in front of the Irish fans What is your involvement in Oxfam Ireland/Sue Ryders Football Legends fundraiser? Im helping to promote and take part in a fantastic event. Its a great opportunity for teams to test themselves against Premier League and international legends people such as Ray Parlour, Lee Sharpe, Phil Babb and Nigel Winterburn, who have won titles and played in World Cups. To get the chance to meet and play against them while making money for a worthwhile cause is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. All proceeds will go towards the Sue Ryder Foundation and Oxfams overseas projects, which includes helping displaced people in the Democratic Republic Of Congo. Do you let the kids win during charity matches or are you professional to the end? I never let anyone win Im desperate to win every time I play. I dont think the competitiveness ever leaves you once youve been a professional. You launched your own charity in 2005 to help children and families recover from the 2004 tsunami. Have you been back to Banda Aceh since? Yes, we went back, theyve done a fantastic job with the housing and medical projects. You and John Barnes are colleagues again, co-managing Tranmere Rovers. Have you ever made him do his World In Motion/ New Order rap? No, not yet, and Im not sure my singing is up to it either. John is a great coach and a legend. We are really looking forward to the season and the challenges that come with it. How did you feel when Bono mentioned your name at a Slane Castle gig (in reference to your goal against Holland in 2001)? It was an honour, its just a shame I couldnt be at the concert to hear it. And the worst? The worst would be between leaving Liverpool, the club I supported as a child, or getting the chance to appear at Wembley in an FA Cup only to lose in the final. Both were very hard to take. How do you think Liverpool will do in the upcoming Premier League season? Liverpool are as close as ever to winning it. They have a great manager, great staff and the team is ready to win. They need to try and sign one more player and keep hold of Alonso and Mascherano, and it could be their year. The football season is demanding, and Liverpool need as many players as possible to keep up the challenge. Does your nickname [Trigger] bother you? No it doesnt bother me at all. Again, its all part of the banter. Oxfam Irelands and Sue Ryder Football Legends fundraiser takes place in Coolock Astropark on Sep 5. To register, e-mail ryderfootball@ oxfamireland.org or call (01) 6350 406 Is your son showing signs of following in your footsteps, and is being a footballer a job youd recommend to him? Youve endured a fair amount of negative publicity in your time. Yes, Harry loves football and technically he is very good although he dives a bit too much. If he follows in my footsteps that would be great but I would be happy with whatever he chooses to do as long as he is happy, then thats fine with me. Did you get ribbed by your mates for starring in the Head & Shoulders ads? I got plenty of stick about it thats all part of football banter. But I loved it. What is your greatest sporting memory? My best memory is without doubt my goal against Holland for Ireland. It was an unbelievable feeling to score such an important goal in front of the Irish fans at Lansdowne Road. 14 metrolife Tuesday, August 4, 2009 index.html2.html3.html4.html5.html6.html7.html8.html9.html10.html11.html12.html13.html14.html15.html16.html17.html18.html19.html20.html21.html22.html23.html
