A scratch on the leg has led to the death of a popular amateur rugby league player aged just 31. Dad-of-one, Neil Smith, a former Leigh Miners Rangers and Leigh East ARLFC junior player, had been a promising, pacy winger in his day.The former Lancashire Rugby League youth team player is believed to have died from a heart attack after contracting septicaemia from a scratch on his leg. Leigh East's chairman Keith Latham, who coached eight-year-old Neil at the Miners, said: "We are really devastated about it at the club. It was no age at all, he was only 31 and he was a great lad. "He was an exceptional talent as a youngster and he had outstanding pace. "He was destined for big things, there's no doubt in my mind that he could have gone all the way but, sadly, he went out of the game for his own personal reasons. "He was brought up in that age group where Leigh produced so many talented players. "I kept in touch and I still see his parents – who are some of the nicest people you could meet – now and again and I always ask about Neil."Apparently he'd had this cut on his leg and it turned bad." After a spell at Miners, Neil moved over to Leigh East later on in his junior career.

Window Cleaner discovers blood-soaked woman found in street, UK: A Window cleaner has spoken of the moment he discovered a blood-soaked woman staggering in the street with serious head injuries. Michael Bolton was first on the scene after Diane Spencer had been allegedly bludgeoned with a claw hammer in Fraser Grove, Hartlepool. He said blood was seeping from wounds to her head and face as she staggered near to her car. And the 35-year-old, who has had a window cleaning round in that area for three-and-a-half years, described the scene as like "something from a horror movie". Michael said he had just been made a cup of tea by one of his customers when he saw Mrs Spencer from about 30 yards away with blood running down her face. "At first I thought she'd knocked her head on the car and I shouted 'are you all right sweetheart?' But she was on a different planet, she couldn't say anything." Dad-of-three Michael told the Mail. "I got within a couple of feet of her and her face was like something out of a horror movie. I phoned 999 straight away. "There was blood everywhere, it was a horrific scene. I keep having flashbacks. I've never seen anyone's face look so bad." While Michael was on the phone to the emergency services an elderly gentleman and a carer sat the woman down and were trying to stem the bleeding. Michael, of Duncan Road, added: "The carer was using wipes but they were turning bright red within seconds of them going on her face because there was so much blood. The poor woman." After just a couple of minutes an ambulance and police turned up at the scene and then a police helicopter arrived and took the woman to the James Cook University Hospital after the attack in Fraser Grove, Hartlepool, at around 10.30am on Saturday. Mrs Spencer's brother Paul Anthony Wallace, 47, has appeared in court charged with attempted murder. Chairman of the bench Sidney Taylor remanded Wallace, of Fraser Grove, in custody and sent the case to Teesside Crown Court.
