Taylor Harwood-Bellis childhood incident practising DIVING that convinced dad Roy Keane’s son-in-law could be footballer

TAYLOR HARWOOD-BELLIS has had a taste of life at the top.

Now England’s latest new-boy must turn his attention to taking on the best in the Premier League right now — and help shift Southampton off the bottom.

The 22-year-old became the EIGHTH player to be handed a Three Lions debut during Lee Carsley’s interim spell in charge when coming on against the Republic of Ireland on Sunday in the Nations League.

And he followed up Liverpool’s Curtis Jones’ feat versus Greece by also marking his bow with a goal to cap a blistering 5-0 win.

Returning to the reality of Saints’ relegation battle must have been some comedown after such a high, particularly with imperious league-leaders the Reds up next.

But while Harwood-Bellis is still buzzing to have proved he can mix it with the elite in this country, it is already just a memory ahead of Arne Slot’s winning machine — complete with a bang-in-form Mo Salah — rocking up at St Mary’s on Sunday.

The centre-back told BBC Radio Solent this week: “England is the pinnacle. The best English players, the best in the world are all there in one dressing room.

“I’ve just got to focus on Liverpool. I’m not too bad at changing focus. Me scoring for England has not hidden the fact that we’re bottom of the league and we’ve got a big game on Sunday. That’s all my focus.”

Brighton-born Southampton boss Russell Martin joked that Harwood-Bellis has barely stopped talking about it since his returning to training this week.

Martin, who won 29 Scotland caps, said: “We have to make sure he keeps his feet on the ground but everyone’s so happy for him.

FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS

“If I’d played for England for ten minutes, I wouldn’t have shut up about it either.

“I’d hammered in Scotland for saying that, wouldn’t I? I was really proud to play for Scotland, so make sure that goes in there!

“I did celebrate his goal. We were all immensely proud of him at the club.

“I see his mum and dad at games so when I see them next, I’m sure I’ll give them a hug and say congratulations.

“I know they’ll be extremely proud and they know he’s in good hands here  with the amount of care and love he gets.”

Harwood-Bellis’ headed goal at Wembley has been the talk of Saints’ training base this week, with team-mate Flynn Downes leading the banter.

Midfielder Downes, 25, went to Wembley with Harwood-Bellis’ friends and family on Sunday as ex-Manchester City starlet Taylor made his first appearance.

It was lucky he had not made it against Greece in Athens three days earlier, else his dad Martin and mum Tina would have missed it, having already booked a holiday to Cape Verde.

Harwood-Bellis is another success story to come out of Stockport, along with fellow England internationals Phil Foden and Kobbie Mainoo.

Dad Martin, who used to be Stockport County’s mascot Vernon Bear sensed his son might have a future in the game as a toddler.

He revealed to BBC Radio Manchester: “The very, very early signs were when he was 18 months old and he was pretending to dive like a Premiership footballer.

“He dived and broke his leg. A slight fracture. He had a plaster on his leg, I’ve still got the plaster, it’s only so big. He was still kicking a ball with a plaster on and he was kicking it straight to me. In fact he was kicking it better than I was kicking it to him and I had two good legs!”

Harwood-Bellis’ old man also revealed how his son used to study football shows like Match of the Day, as well as what he saw from watching Stockport live, and implement what he had learnt at local side Spurley Hey.

The youngster’s talent was quickly spotted and by six he had joined City.

He was playing for England by Under-15 level, in an age group that included Tino Livramento, Morgan Rogers, Noni Madueke and Cole Palmer and also had Jude Bellingham playing a year up.

Harwood-Bellis’ leadership qualities — attributes his future father-in-law Roy Keane would appreciate — saw him regularly named skipper  for club and country.

He was known for his dedication, setting of standards in training and how vocal he was on the pitch as well as discipline off it.

That sees him still today inspect the labels of all food at his parents’ house for fat content before eating it. City rated him highly but given the competition in Pep Guardiola’s first team, a series of loans began before one which ended in a permanent move to Saints.

At Anderlecht and Burnley, the defender learned about detail and a relentless drive to win from working with Vincent Kompany.

Phil Jagielka taught him about the dark arts of defending at Stoke.

It was surprising to see no Premier League side sign him two summers ago, after he had captained England to Under-21 Euros glory.

More physical defenders with a quicker top speed over the first ten-15 metres were favoured.

But that overlooked Harwood-Bellis impressive reading of the game, with one of his  former coaches telling SunSport: “Taylor always has an extra yard in his head.”

Southampton, then a Championship side, did not initially think they would be able to attract Harwood-Bellis.

That was until a season-long loan deal, with a £20million permanent option on  promotion, was proposed via TransferRoom, the digital football marketplace that more than 700 clubs worldwide use.

Sam Stanton, Saints’ head of scouting  operations, said at the time: “We never thought he’d be available to us. So when he was pitched to us, we were really excited straight away.”

Emergency Storm Bert ‘stay at home’ alert for 10-hour RED warning as latest ‘significant snow risk’ area pinpointed

WEATHER bosses have issued a major “stay at home” update amid status red warnings as Storm Bert to sweep the country.

Met Eireann has issued a red rain warning for two counties overnight, with an orange in place six and yellow for the remainder of Ireland.

Donegal is being warned to prepare for heavy rain and snow

A status red rain warning is in place in Galway and Cork from midnight until 10am on Saturday.

A status orange rain warning for Waterford, Kerry, Clare, Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim is set to be in place for the same time.

The rest of the country will be under a status yellow rain warning from 10pm tonight 12pm tomorrow.

Donegal is under a yellow snow and ice warning also during this time, while a yellow wind warning is valid for Cork, Kerry, Waterford, Carlow, Kilkenny, Wexford and Wicklow from 5pm tomorrow until 2am on Sunday.

‘STAY AT HOME’

With heavy rain and a potential threat of snow setting in, the National Directorate for Fire and Emergency Management has issued a stark warning.

Met Eireann are predicting that these major weather warnings will bring localised flooding, travel disruption and fallen trees.

The public are being reminded to “shelter in place” once Storm Bert emerges and to prepare in advance.

The public safety announcement has said that people should have their mobile phones fully charged in case of a power outage in order to allow for communication.

It is also being advised that you should never drive through flooded roads and to keep in mind the depth of any water ahead.

The public are being urged to keep tabs on Met Eireann’s website in order to stay up to date with any changes in conditions.

STAY VIGILANT

The ESB is also reminding the public that fallen live wires and cables, and if you come across one, it is important to report it immediately.

National Director of the NDFEM, Keith Leonard said: “It is quite clear that we will have challenging weather conditions at local level in many counties in the west and south west.

“Local Authority severe weather teams are activated and are preparing for the storm’s approach.”

Urging everyone to avoid travel during the times of the weather warnings, he reminded the public that the conditions could change quickly.

He said: “For those in areas affected by red level rain and wind warnings, I would particularly stress that the safest advice for those affected is to shelter in place and do not travel during the duration of the warning. 

“As weather events are changeable ones, members of the public should monitor Met Éireann’s ongoing advice and act accordingly. Essential Service Operators will link with Met Éireann aiming to continue operations subject to the prevailing local conditions.”

FALLEN TREES & FLOODING

Fallen trees and road flooding still pose a risk even after a storm has passed, with Leonard expressing to the public to remain vigilant.

He continued: “Even after the storm has passed, there is a strong possibility of road flooding or fallen trees so drivers are urged to take care in the aftermath of the storm.

“For all members of the public, whatever part of the country you are in, rain and winds will be a factor overnight and early tomorrow.

“I would urge you to stay away from coastal areas during this period and to heed the appeal from the Irish Coast Guard for people to ‘Stay Back, Stay High, Stay Dry’. 

“Also, dangerous travelling conditions are possible and road users should pay particular attention to the risk posed by fallen trees. In addition to this, heavy persistent showers are expected, which in turn may lead to surface flooding in urban locations.”

SNOW WARNING

As Storm Bert approaches, heavy rain on Saturday morning could bring a potential risk of snow in Donegal, Derry and Tyrone.

This could be a much more likely case on higher ground in these counties.

The Donegal Weather Channel also shared that some parts of Connacht could also see heavy snowfall, which could last between three to five hours.

Any predicted snow will clear later on Saturday, turning to heavy rain as temperatures rise.

Donegal Weather Channel warned: “Anyone travelling between 10pm to 5am Saturday morning should be in these areas should be very careful. Any snow would melt quickly as the snow turns back to rain.

“I would not be surprised of Donegal is upgraded to a orange rain/snow/ice warning this evening.”

I’m worried I’ve caught something from a woman I met in a nightclub

Romantic multi-ethnic young couple dancing at nightclub

DEAR DEIDRE: I HAD sex with a woman I met in a nightclub and now I’m worried I might have caught something from her.

Although we used condoms, she also gave me oral sex without any protection. Can you catch a sexually-transmitted infection from oral sex?
I’m 26 and the woman was around the same age. I’m embarrassed to say, I don’t know her name or age, as she didn’t tell me.

We ended up up together in the toilets, where she went down on me in a cubicle. Then we went outside, and found ourselves in an alleyway, round the back of the club.

We had sex there. Fortunately, I had a condom in my pocket and remembered to put it on.

I wasn’t worried, until I found out this woman has a reputation for sleeping around. Now I’m panicking that she could have transmitted something during oral. 

I can’t contact her as I don’t have her number.

Am I being paranoid?

DEIDRE SAYS: It’s rare to catch an STI from oral sex, but it is possible. Several STIs can be spread this way, including Chlamydia and Gonorrhea.

If this woman had a cold sore, she could have transmitted a type of herpes to you. Many people have the herpes virus, but don’t realise it.

If you’re worried, then it’s a good idea to go to your local Sexual Health Clinic for a full check-up. It should put your mind at rest. 

To find out more about STIs, take a look at the NHS website (www.nhs.uk/conditions/sexually-transmitted-infections-stis/). You’ll also find information there about your local Sexual Health Clinic. 

In the future, it’s a good idea to always use a condom with a new partner, whatever type of sex you’re having.
